During this unit, students will learn the importance of photovoltaic technology and its role as a viable renewable energy source. Other scientific topics that will be introduced to students include gear to wheel ratio, friction, basic aerodynamics and vehicle structure.

This hands-on STEM unit exposes students to real world and career opportunities in the field of technology, engineering, physics, earth sciences.

Through lessons and the unit's storybook--set in and around a young girl's butterfly garden in the Dominican Republic--students learn about the importance of balance within natural and agricultural systems, and consider what can happen when this balance goes awry. Students are introduced to agricultural engineering from a broad perspective, with brief overviews of Integrated Pest Management and pollination. For the design challenge students design and improve hand pollinators to work with different model flowers.

Through lessons and the unit's storybook, which takes place on a station (or ranch) in the Australian outback, students embark on an electricity scavenger hunt. Using the engineering process, students practice drawing schematic diagrams, create, and improve their own alarm switch and circuit to remind them when it is time to do an important chore.

This hands-on STEM unit exposes students to real world and career opportunities in the field of electrical engineering.

During the engineering process, students perform tests and trials, collect data and use the information in the redesign of their MAGLEV vehicle for the use in a MAGLEV competition that culminates this unit.

Scientific concepts taught during this unit include Newton’s three laws of motion, magnetic levitation, and magnetic attraction and repulsion forces.

This hands-on STEM unit exposes students to real world and career opportunities in the field of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and mathematics.

This hands-on STEM unit exposes students to real world and career opportunities in the field of civil and architectural engineering, and mathematics.

Students are introduced to the life cycles, defense mechanisms, energy cycles, adaptations, and environments of the perch, dog shark, squid, and starfish. Peer mentoring will take place as seventh grade students assist first graders during the dissection processes. Students will participate in the ancient Japanese folk art of fish painting called “Gyotaku.”

Students will then use their marine biology skills as they become marine biologists for a day while visiting the Denver Aquarium and possibly meeting with a marine biologist.
