Students study the components and functions of the respiratory and circulatory systems. They take blood pressure using a stethoscope and investigate ways to maintain a healthy respiratory system.

Students study the process of evaporation.

Students study vocal style and techniques in various genres. They critique vocal performances by completing critique charts.

Students investigate the anatomy of a frog using a virtual dissection tool in order to study the structures and organ as they relate to other animals.

Students develop a basic understanding of volcanoes. They watch a PowerPoint Presentation which introduces three types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and composite volcanoes.

Students research biofilms and create brochures. They role play as advertising firm members assigned to educate the general public about biofilms. They create "wanted dead or alive" posters about harmful and helpful biofilms respectively.

Young scholars examine how gravity affects erosion and deposition through teacher demonstation, and discuss its impact on their communities.

Students identify the three types of plate boundaries and the Earth's tectonic plates system. They examine how the Galapagos Islands were formed and hydrothermal vents.

Students discover how volcanic processes differ at convergent and divergent tectonic plate boundaries. They identify three geologic features that are associated with most volcanoes on Earth.

Students examine how international trade affects a nation's economy. They read and analyze two handouts, research a scenario from the handout, determine the chronological order of the scenarios, and answer questions about a case study.

Young scholars research transnational pollution and role-play a hypothetical case of transnational pollution involving the Danube River. They practice, develop and defend a position in a debate and evaluate each other's presentations.

Students build a model representing a snow-covered mountain out of flour, sugar, and potato flakes. Then they use the model to recreate an avalanche.

Students observe individual bones that comprise the neck portion of a chicken's backbone. After cleaning the bones of tissue, they examine the dried vertebrae and observe how they are adapted for support and protection.
