Students will take on the role of meteorologists in a specific region, will research current weather patterns and make predictions about the future that they will use to make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of a weather-related hazard. They will present their ideas in a speech to convince local government to enact change.

Students will choose their own sustainability topic and create a survey to learn about the experiences, attitudes, and beliefs of their 11th grade classmates. They will then analyze the data and draw conclusions from the results and share their findings on a poster presentation.

Number Sense Scavenger Hunt Launch - Students explore their school environment in small groups to find and document real-world examples of rational and irrational numbers, fostering collaboration and initial understanding of mathematical concepts (45 min)

Create a first week of school project for students to show their number sense aligned with the mentioned standards and competencies. Project must be low-tech

We want to use a culturally relevant text(s) for this. The goal of this lesson should support the following text: We believe that it is essential for students to have access to literature that reflects their cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and other diverse backgrounds/lived experiences. We argue that by providing students with literature that reflects these backgrounds, students will have increased engagement and motivation to engage in literature activities. Furthermore, when students see themselves represented or reflected in literature, they are more likely to connect to the content, encouraging a deeper understanding and interest in reading.

Field Trip Planning Challenge Overview: Students are given a field trip scenario with constraints (cost per bus, entry tickets, lunch, etc.). Their task is to plan the trip within a given budget. Math Modeled: • Use expressions and equations to calculate total cost. • Write and solve equations to find the number of students they can take. • Provide estimated vs. actual scenarios with justification. Modeling Standards Aligned: 7.D.1, 7.D.2 Deliverables: Planning sheet, breakdown of calculations, final recommendation

I want to design a project about the rocky shore that incorporates NGSS standards. It will blend math, science, and literacy, with students working together in groups to explore key concepts. My students love Pokemon this year. We want to visit the Birch Aquarium.
