4. PROGRAMS - 1 PROMOTING LIFE LONG INTEREST IN SCIENCE BUILDING A BETTER BIRD FEEDER

5. PROGRAMS - 2 JUST PASSING THROUGH: DESIGNING MODEL MEMBRANES WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE: DESIGNING WATER FILTERS

6. ASK NOTICE SOMETHING YOU THINK IS A PROBLEM ASK QUESTIONS IS IT REALLY A PROBLEM? WHY IS IT A PROBLEM? HOW IS IT HURTING PEOPLE, PLANTS, AND/OR ANIMALS?

7. IMAGINE BASED ON DATA YOU HAVE GATHERED BRAINSTORM SOLUTIONS WITH OTHERS REVIEW THE SOLUTIONS WHICH IS THE MOST FEASIBLE?

8. PLAN AFTER PRELIMINARY TESTING DECIDE WHICH IDEA IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE DRAW YOUR PLAN; WRITE OUT YOUR PROCEDURE ARE YOUR PLANS CLEAR? COULD ANOTHER FOLLOW THEM?

9. CREATE FOLLOWING THE PLANS CREATE THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM YOU PERCEIVED

10. CREATE TEST YOUR TECHNOLOGY IN DIFFERENT CONDITIONS TO BE SURE IT IS FEASIBLE

11. IMPROVE DISCUSS YOUR RESULTS WITH YOUR TEAM WAS YOUR TECHNOLOGY SUCCESSFUL? DID IT SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

12. IMPROVE: GET READY TO TRY AGAIN! COMPARE YOUR IDEAS AND RESULTS WITH OTHERS WHAT PARTS OF THEIRS DID YOU LIKE? HOW WOULD YOU INCORPORATE THEIR IDEAS TO IMPROVE YOUR DESIGN? TRY IT!

17. HANDS ON

18. SCIENCE 1 a. The students will observe a series of pictures of birds' beaks and compare them to various household tools such as forks, tongs, tweezers, hammers, nutcrackers, chopsticks, and eyedroppers. The students will determine which beak is used by the bird for a similar purpose to the way to household tool is used. b. Given a list of different organisms the student will match the organism to a continent based on the climate the organism needs. The student will list at least three adaptations each organism has to help it survive in that climate/environment.
