DIY Board Game: Design your own board game. It can be themed around your favorite movie, book, or even a historical period.

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.

Operation Outbreak (OO): Immerse yourself in a fictional epidemic, where a Bluetooth-transmitted pathogen spreads across smartphones. Take on real-world roles — government official, biomedical researcher, banker, healthcare worker, and more — as you battle the outbreak, gaining hands-on knowledge of society's response in a unique learning experience. Students will also play the Nano Vr. Game where Nano is a thrilling cellular adventure with real science in its DNA. A strange virus is sweeping across the globe. As a trainee in a top-secret bioresearch program, you use your headset and haptic gloves to remotely control a nanodrone -- a tiny machine that gets injected into the human body. With the drone, you operate a synthetic immune cell, jacking into infected patients around the world to fight their infections on the microscopic level, and ultimately track down and face the mystery virus itself. You'll need to master the cell's living systems: you generate energy from food molecules, use the cell's DNA to manufacture a variety of proteins to keep the cell alive, and to combat invaders. This is not a science textbook -- it's a game to its core, but one that's based on real science. You've never experienced biology, or gaming, like this.

Conduct a multicultural fair to explore and celebrate different cultures. Students will research a country, prepare traditional dishes, and present on cultural practices.

Students will understand a poem's figurative language and identify it's deeper meaning.

Kindergarten

I want to design a project using native hawaiian plants

Middle School

Students create a themed mini carnival ride using LEGO robotics. They create at least one custom LEGO piece printed on a 3D that integrates into their ride. They create a name for their carnival ride and marketing materials related to their theme (ancient Egypt, etc.).

VIRTUAL CAREER FAIR Students will engage in virtual career stations, where they watch recorded interviews with industry experts and complete a hands-on activities related to different career fields, identifying areas of interest
