Conduct a mathematical analysis of the relative composition of a substance in order to determine its empirical formula and construct an evidence-based argument about its identity.

Students will be able to apply the concepts of forces and momentum to mathematically explain the cause of the car crash based on the model.

Communicate solutions to invasive species around the globe by interpreting data and evaluating information about abiotic and biotic factors, populations, and impacts on the ecosystem.

Where did the matter and energy in the tomato go?
6th Grade - Students will carry out an investigation and engage in an argument from evidence to identify that you need green and brown material, heat, oxygen, light, and decomposers to form compost.
7th Grade - Students will be able to construct an explanation that the matter in the compost has been transformed to nutrient rich soil that provides energy for plant growth and reproduction.

Students will be able to construct an explanation about how human land usage affects local habitats and design solutions to mitigate the impact.
