Building a Butterfly Garden	In this lesson, students combine skills of geometry and cost analysis skills and technology to build a butterfly garden as a school beautification project.	Charlene McGarrity & Gail Walton	Grade: 7 Content Area: Math, Science, and Technology
Exploring Invertebrates	Students will learn to: - categorize invertebrates -summarize data into developed paragraphs -use power point to present work done in collaborative groups	Harriet Clements, Angela Powell, and Jill Mathias.	Grades 7-9: Science, Language Arts, Technology
“Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On”	Via research, students will learn the following: -What causes earthquakes and where do they occur. -How do earthquakes travel through the earth. -How are earthquakes detected, located and measured. -How to make a workable model of a seismograph and interpret its readings. -What hazards exist as an affect of earthquakes. -How to safeguard yourself, home and buildings against earthquakes.	Wendy Allen, Rachell Goram, and Arlanda Omali.	Grade 7: Science
Creature Creations	Students will learn how to differentiate between dominant and recessive traits and genotypes. They will use this knowledge to construct a model creature, identifying its traits, and specifying which traits are dominant. Students will then predict the possible outcomes of genetic crosses between “parent” creatures.	Mary Smith and Christine Olsen	Grade 8: Genetics, Heredity
