Create a community garden to learn about plant life cycles and sustainable practices, integrating environmental science and social studies. Students will be responsible for planting, maintaining, and harvesting.

Students will design, plan, and implement an interactive mentoring event/experience for elementary school students. The goal of the experience is to perhaps help students choose an instrument, listen to what high school students are working on, and/or show them what they have to look forward to when they are in high school.

Biology: Mitosis, Cell Replication, Protein Synthesis, Mutation

Physics through Automotive Engineering - I am teaching a high school physics course through car mechanics. Can you suggest a 7 week unit covering as many concepts as possible while also planning for two in person days of instruction and three days of independent study mini lessons and assignments.

Kindergarten students will take on the role of “Wildlife Helpers” to explore how people and bears share the same community in Durango. They’ll investigate bears and how they get into the trash need to stay safe and how human actions affect their habitats. Through reading, writing, science, and art, students will learn how to communicate important messages that protect wildlife. Working together, they will create design a community mural and other things to teach others how to keep Bears and people safe. The project culminates in a Wildlife Safety Showcase, where students share their learning with families and local community partners. Bear journals and garbage prototypes The “trash disaster” classroom + you dressed as a bear tangled in garbage. “Why is there trash everywhere?” “Why would a bear come inside?” “How can we keep animals safe from trash?” Discuss what happened and identify the “problem.” Introduce the driving question: “What would animals say if they could talk to us about their safety and home?” Read The Earth Book . Go on a “litter hunt” walk and collect data (types of trash). Begin a wonder chart: “What do animals need to stay safe?”
