I want to design a project for the muscular system where students have to learn about the sliding filament theory and action potentials.

📜 Entry Event: Launch Letter & Moral Dilemmas Discussion TEKS 1D, 6B: Discuss the moral dilemmas in Gatsby's world vs. today. TEKS 5C, 8A: Begin thinking critically about how literature presents ethical challenges.

I want to do a project with my 6th graders about making claims with evidence and reasoning. This project should also focus on National Parks and use the History Comics: National Parks Persevering America's Wild Places https://www.google.com/books/edition/History_Comics_The_National_Parks/iIttEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover and Mission 66 Birth of the Modern National Park: https://www.google.com/books/edition/History_Comics_The_National_Parks/iIttEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover

I want to design a US History project that aligns with 11th grade California US History content standards and 11th grade California ELA standards. This is an immersive experience where students will each have an assigned decade and they will have a period to take over the classroom and transform the class into their decade. They will decorate the class in their decade, dress up, provide music, games and teach the rest of the class about their decade.

Students will create delicious and beautiful mocktails using a variety of (safe, edible, nonalcoholic) substances. They will then be able to explain why they chose each substance and how they knew the substances were going to interact to create their drink. They can use susbtances like butterfly pea flower tea, egg whites, lemon juice, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, water, simple syrup, black tea, mint leaves, carbonated water, food coloring, edible glitter, coconut milk Using coconut oil to fat-wash black tea, talking about the chemistry of fat-washing. Vocabulary: suspension, emulsion, dissolved, density, sediment, liquid-liquid extraction, physical change (muddling), chemical change How can we use our understanding of chemistry to improve the taste and appearance of our mocktails? How do restaurateurs design delicious and beautiful drinks? Product(s) The drink itself, in a glass (probably multiple glasses?) An ingredient list, describing the chemistry behind the drink Exhibition (Hands & Minds page 34) (Work That Matters pages 66-67) Don’t worry if you don’t have a specific venue worked out, just describe your first-draft vision for an exhibition! Something that isn't too clearly connected to bars. Perhaps something more closely to a lemonade stand? Or maybe have them run a bar and have to make the drinks in front of people CONTENT GOAL How will students learn it in this project? Acid - base reaction & pH indicator Mixing butterfly pea flower tea with an acid Emulsions Foaming egg whites Solubility Dissolving syrups in water of differing temperatures Colloidal solution / suspension Mixing coconut milk in and then letting it separate Density Slowly pouring simple syrup down the side of the glass to watch it pool in the bottom due to being more dense Oxidation Bruise a handful of mint leaves. Submerge half in an acid, leave the other half out. The half exposed to air will turn brown.

This project will be the culmination of weekly lessons focused from ancient civilizations of Aztecs down to the Incas to our current immigration/border situation of Latinos with the United States. Students will work with organizations such as "Al otro Lado" and "Border Angel" to not only volunteer their translation services but also to learn and document migrant stories and/or experiences from spanish to english and vise versa.
