Photosynthetic Floatation – Science Snack from the Exploratorium
Photosynthetic organisms capture energy from the sun and matter from the air to make the food we eat, while also producing the oxygen we breathe. In this Snack, oxygen produced during photosynthesis makes leaf bits float like bubbles in water. Learn more about this Science Snack from the Exploratorium including Video Demonstration of what to…
Read MoreData Square – Nature of Science Activity
Print the templates below on card stock. There are two templates of the puzzle on each page. Cut out one of the large squares and then cut out the pieces as shown above. At first, just give students the four pieces on the left without the small square. Challenge them to form a square with…

Great for cross-referencing the Arizona Science Standards to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) when looking for resources from collections aligned to NGSS. S = strong alignment (same science and engineering practice, same content). P = partial alignment (different science and engineering practice, same content). NC = no correlation.

Read MoreScience is… Science is not… Nature of Science Lesson Virtual
Science is… Science is not… Nature of Science Lesson (in-person classroom version available HERE) is adapted from the University of Indiana’s Evolution and Nature of Science Institute’s Sunsets, Souls, and Senses Lesson. The following STEMAZing Teacher Guide for Science is Science is not Virtual describes how to use this lesson virtually and provides links to…
Read MoreScience is… Science is not… Nature of Science Lesson
From original Sunsets, Souls, and Senses lesson from ENSI (file found below): Explores the realm and limits of science. Engages students to give examples of topics that can be studied by science, and those that cannot. This also takes a look at descriptive terms that reflect the true nature of modern science, and those that do…
