Inner Body We have a brain, two lungs, bones, heart, stomach, and muscles. | Outer Body Every human being is made of the same body parts; however, every person has their own identity. | Smile Muscles Students learned that our bodies have more than 600 muscles. We even use our muscles when we smile! |

Save the City! Students worked in teams to creatively design a solution to prevent a landslide from damaging houses located at the bottom of a steep hill. | Collaboration 2nd graders collaborated to modify the hillside with trees, pebbles, rocks, and drinking straws that represented drainage pipes. | Investigating Erosion Students observed changes that wind, water, and natural disasters can cause to land over time. |

Inheritance Board One way to investigate all of the possible outcomes is to use a graphic organizer such as a Punnett square. | Observable Traits Students were introduced to Gregor Mendel's work with pea plants and observable traits that pass from parent to baby plant. | Seed Solutions We sprouted three generations of seeds to help us understand why generations can have different phenotypes. |

The Body's Computer Students know that each region within the brain helps control and regulate specific functions in the body. | Information Processing 4th graders can describe how the organs responsible for each sense communicate with the brain. | The Brain in Action Students conducted a series of experiments to test our memories and reaction times. |

Mystery at School Students investigated germs in depth and explored the two types of germs that are responsible for a majority of the communicable diseases that infect humans--bacteria and viruses. | Disease Detectives This team of students used the design process to determine patient zero in a school outbreak of strep throat by outlining how the bacteria was passed from student to student. | Scientific Inquiry Process Students used the scientific inquiry process to design and perform experiments to test the effectiveness of different hand washing methods. |

Geogebra Students used Geogebra to explore basic geometric shapes and use combinations of geometric primitives to form more complex shapes. | Design Challenge 6th graders worked in teams to design, test, and build a model solution for patients with a movement disorder called cerebral palsy. | Puzzle Design Challenge Students applied the design process to create a puzzle using 27 wood cubes. Each puzzle had to contain five different puzzle parts that could be assembled to form a 2 1/4 inch cube. |
