Students use an inquiry approach to describe the major biomes of Minnesota before taking a look at adaptations that make organisms successful in their environments.
This is a classroom activity where students create magnetic cats and see …
This is a classroom activity where students create magnetic cats and see what occurs when the cats are placed next to each other. Students will be informally investigating magnetic attraction and repelling.
This activity is a chemistry lab-based investigation where students apply observational skills …
This activity is a chemistry lab-based investigation where students apply observational skills and critical thinking skills to finding specific heat and heat capacity using different temperatures of water and solids. A final activity will assess students understanding of specific heat and heat capacity and promote data analysis skills, using real-life situations.
This model-making activity gives students an opportunity visualize Newtonian forces acting on …
This model-making activity gives students an opportunity visualize Newtonian forces acting on a single point as well as combined forces acting to produce synclines and anticlines in Earth's crust. Students will analyze models to interpret findings of plate movements.

This short video illustrates how warming ocean temperature is a major factor in climate change, particularly the increase in severity of extreme weather (notably storms and drought).
Data-centric activity where students explore the connections between an observable change in …
Data-centric activity where students explore the connections between an observable change in the cryosphere and its potential impact in the hydrosphere and atmosphere. Students analyze the melt extents on the Greenland ice sheet from 1992-2003. Students also learn about how scientists collect the data.
