SAE Summer STEM 6

Standard:   MS-LS1-7.  Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Objective:   Students will develop and compare daily meal plans to determine which diet supports growth. 1. Do Now:  How do diets work? Pre-Quiz 2. Watch the BrainPOP video on "Nutrition"  and develop a balanced meal plan that supports growth. 3.  Watch   THIS VIDEO   about the types of diets that people use to lose weight. 4. Create a daily meal plan for a weight-loss diet. 5. Exit Ticket:  How does a diet work?  Post-Quiz

Standard:   MS-LS1-7.  Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Objective:   Students will compare and contrast a calories-based diet and macros-based diet to determine which diet is best for supporting growth. 1. Do Now:  Balanced Diet Pre-Quiz 2. Watch THIS VIDEO about the Twinkie Diet. 3. Complete a the "What is a balanced diet?" Helping Quadrant. 4. Exit Ticket:  Balanced Diet Post-Quiz

Standard:   MS-LS1-7.  Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Objective:   Students will use examples to explain how energy from calories is used by the body to support growth, 1. Do Now:  How our Bodies Use Calories Pre-Quiz 2. Calories Reading Reflection 3. Watch THIS VIDEO  about how calories get used by our bodies, and answer the questions on your handout with your group. 4. Watch the BrainPop "Obesity" and answer the questions on the handout with your group. username=123dog password=123cat 4. Exit Ticket:  How our Bodies Use Calories Post-Quiz

Standard:   MS-LS1-7.  Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Objective:   Students will explain that energy from calories is released in the form of heat when food molecules are rearranged by completing the calorimetry lab with a 3 or better, according to the success criteria. 1. Do Now: Calorimeter Pre-Quiz 2. Lab Safety Procedures 3. Bomb Calorimeter Lab Criteria for Success: 4: Lab report is detailed with full sentences. Group is working collaboratively and everyone is on task with no prompting from group leader or teacher. Calculations for Temperature change and Heat Energy are correct. 3: Lab report is complete with less detail and mostly full sentences. Group is working collaboratively and mostly everyone is on task, with minimal prompting from group leader and teacher. 2: Lab report is mostly comple...

Standard: MS-LS1-7. Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Objective:  Students will explain that foods contain carbs, fats, and proteins and that these molecules store energy.   1. Do Now:  Food is Energy Pre-Quiz 2.  The Digestive Story 3. Food Stations 4. Laboratory Safety Expectations 5. Exit-Slip:  Food is Energy Post-Quiz

Standard: MS-PS4-2. Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Objective:  Students will explain how frequency and amplitude of a sound wave affects the pitch and volume of the sound. 1. Do Now:  Sound 2 Pre-Quiz 2.  Collaborative Work 1. Finish the "What is Sound? Helping Quadrant" with your group members. - Share your prepped responses with your group members. - Complete the extension activity. 2. Sound 50/50 quiz 3. Exit-Slip:  Sound 2 Post-Quiz

Standard: MS-PS4-2. Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Objective:  Students will explain how sound works, and how it travels differently through different types of matter by completing a helping quadrant with a 3 or better according to the success criteria. 1. Do Now: What is Sound Pre-Quiz 2. Collaborative Work 1. Create an instrument with your group using any of the materials, and answer the following questions: 1. How did you design you instrument? 2. What type of sound(s) does your instrument make? 3. How does your instrument produce these sounds? 4. How do you think sound works? 2. Create a group definition for sound. 3. Complete the "What is Sound? Helping Quadrant" with your group members. Helping Quadrant Steps: 1. Review the Directions, Thinking Questions, and success criteria. 2. Read and annotate the article, and answer the thinking questions. 3. Individu...
