Students will draft bills that could be local or national laws. After the bills are drafted, students will become congresspeople and go into committees and subcommittees to try to pass the bills. Students will be able to mark up, toss out and pass bills. Students will also make commercials for and against bills. While "Congress" is in session, students will be filmed like CSPAN! Students will also be writing letters to both local and national politicians to get their bills sponsored.

I want to do a catapult project to teach physics concepts such as force, motion, momentum, impulse, density. Students will construct a basic catapult initially using popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and a spoon. Eventually I want them to be able to build a catapult that will fling water balloons for a game we will play at the end of the quarter. There are two days of synchronous in-class learning, and three days of independent study learning happening. I want students to do activities for approximately an hour on their off-site independent days.

Course Title: TEDx Youth: The Mirror of Art Course Description In this intensive performance and rhetoric course, students will explore the profound intersection of creativity and human experience to answer a single, driving question: How does art reflect life? Moving beyond traditional essays, students will engage in a semester-long journey to develop their own "Idea Worth Spreading." This course is designed to transform students from passive observers into powerful storytellers and thought leaders. Through a blend of art history, social analysis, and public speaking coaching, participants will analyze how movements in visual art, music, literature, and digital media serve as a pulse for the world’s cultural and political shifts. What You Will Do: Curate an Idea: Research and identify a specific way that art mirrors our reality—whether through social justice movements, personal identity, or technological evolution. Master the TED Format: Learn the signature TED style of "infotainment," focusing on narrative hooks, data visualization, and emotional resonance. The Final Showcase: The course culminates in a professional-grade, 12-to-18-minute presentation delivered on a TED-style stage. Key Learning Objectives: Critical Thinking: Analyze the relationship between historical events and the artistic responses they triggered. Public Speaking: Develop professional-level stage presence, vocal variety, and the ability to speak without a script. Visual Literacy: Create high-impact presentation slides that complement, rather than distract from, the spoken word. By the end of the course, students will have a polished, high-definition recording of their talk, perfect for college portfolios and demonstrating their ability to synthesize complex ideas for a global audience.

In earlier lessons and labs, students learned that microorganisms are found everywhere and that bacteria can be helpful, harmful, or become dangerous under certain conditions. Through the Swabbathon lab and the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly framework, they observed microbial growth, explored how balance in microbial communities is maintained, and learned how human actions—such as antibiotic use and environmental stress—can lead to antibiotic resistance. Students will now build on this knowledge by exploring how climate change adds new stress to microbial systems, changing where bacteria live, how fast they grow, and how easily antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread, connecting what they observed in the lab to real-world global health challenges.
