FL6.2 b FL6.3 a,e,f,g,h,i,j A World in Motion – Glider Challenge [] Students build gliders and then test them for flight. Student will have to present their model to class, discussing how it flew (using scientific terminology), flight time and distance, and why they selected the wing location, and surface shape and size
 * Grade 6 Flight**
 * Build gliders in the class room to test wing placement and angle on flight time.**

HT7.2 b,c,d,g,h Temperature Probes and Heat Curves
 * Grade 7 Heat and Temperature**
 * Using hot plates, Crushed ice (snow), Beakers, and temp probes show how temperature changes as we heat the ice (water) through two state changes**. What does the graph tell us? Create a visual representation of what the particles are doing at each state? How does this experiment support the particle theory of matter?

OP8.2c Use optic bench to show the differences of image location and characteristics
 * Grade 8 Optics**
 * Use the lenses supplied to find a set up to make an image __ sized**

OP8.2d,e Build telescope musing optic bench


 * Galileo built a simple telescope using two lenses (Concave and Convex). Though compact it was poor for looking at space as it could only see small fields of view (1/4 of the moon at one time). Using the convex lenses supplied build a better astronomical telescope for looking at the moon.** Keep notes as to what steps you go through to build the telescope. How big is your telescope once completed? What lenses were used? Draw a ray diagram of how light interacts with your telescope lenses to form the final image seen. (Use smart board to show how to do ray diagrams)

EU9.2 c Black holes Perimeter Institute Package Optional during break Perimeter Institute
 * Grade 9**

SCI10-FM4.b,d PH30-FM2.c Force Probes to show the difference in force needed to pull an object
 * Grade 10 and Grade 12**

HB1-c,f HB2 –h Surface Temperature Probes in Straws Measure temperature of air in to and out of the nose. Hand grip Dynamometers to measure heart rate pre, during, and post physical activity.
 * Health Science 20**

AH1-a,b,c,d,h,f Use CO2, temperature, and light sensor to measure the amount of CO2 and particulate matter in the air around the school. Compare this to AQHI to see if the school is in accordance with the Clean Air Act. Cooperscience
