Week 2: A Wild Ride!


 

Weekly Lesson Plans

Delivering Science At Home

Introducing our new weekly lesson plans offering hands-on activities, experiments and virtual teaching support to inspire, educate and engage curious minds through science. Targeting grades K-8, each week's content offers 150 minutes of education aligned with the State of Arizona Science Standards.

 


Week Two

A Wild Ride!

No height restrictions for this ride! Join us as we use our science and engineering skills to build our very own roller coaster.

In A Wild Ride!, your student(s) will learn more about force, motion and the engineering design process through daily lessons, including hands-on activities, experiments and digital resources. See the appropriate grade-bands and topics below to get started!
