Science 9-10 1st Trimester
1st Trimeter
"What Floats?" We work on critical thinking skills as we investigate such science concepts as buoyancy, gas laws, states of matter, and fluid dynamics. Students take on numerous hands-on challenges and present their results and thinking in a variety of formats including formal written reports, posters, interviews, and animated Power Points. The trimester culminates with students creating a reflective portfolio poster of their best work and formally presenting it to outside evaluators.
Sample Projects:
- Self designed lab
- Vacuum lab power point
- Cardboard boat challenge
- Portfolio poster presentation
