Biodiversity
How do scientists decide the difference between a wolf and a coyote, or a sunflower and a coneflower? We will find out in this lesson on the diversity of life!

Coding with Color
Learn to code with indi by Sphero! Using color as commands, beginner computational thinking, and problem solving, students will design their own course for their “car” to travel.

Spectacular Space
We will explore the inner and outer planets, and other celestial bodies that make up our solar system. We will then use critical thinking, comparison, and investigative skills to determine what is inside of our mystery planet!

Can You Build It?
In this introduction to engineering, students will be given unique materials to solve a building challenge. Students will collaborate and communicate with a small group to create a solution.

BUZZ! Pollination!
Students will learn why pollination is important, the physical traits of pollinators and their plant partners, and how bees, our most important pollinator, collect nectar, transfer pollen, and support their hive through the amazing process of pollination! Students will end the lesson with a grade appropriate experiment extending on the process of pollination.
