Time Line
Two weeks
Students will experiment with solar kits, snaptricity kit and substainable earth lab kit. They will follow the PBL outline for the first four days. They will perform their experiment.
Students will spend two days on the experiment and collect data and graph. Other group will then do the experiment and collect data. Each group will write up lab report for each experiment. Write paper and turn in on Friday.
Rubric for persuasive essay and lab report. Student groups will develop an experiment and
