Are you looking for a different approach to using the Scientific Method/ Engineering Design Process? “Can They Do That?” is a "TV-show type" series that presents things made in the movies/television and challenges the students to prove or disprove "Can They Do That?" This first episode looks at a hot air balloon contraption built out of hair dryers and trash bags on the A-Team.
Students start the lesson by watching a clip from a TV show (included in PowerPoint). They are presented with a “problem” by the TV Show Host and then they work through the EDP.
This lesson includes the Video Introduction embedded in a PowerPoint with a Student Handout that guides students research, prototype and solution.

Interactive Reading Project for Middle and High School Digital Resources
By Blooming Through High School
Wondering what to do with students after testing?
Need to keep them reading and writing?
Want them to have fun while they're doing it?
I took a page from the Choose Your Own Adventure books and made the best selling books digital. Now students can read a story of their choice and write their own alternate story endings with this digital resource. Perfect after testing activity, reading projects, summer reading projects, and more.
Everything you need is included for your students to have fun thinking, creating, writing and playing through this activity!
Students will love being able to write new story lines based on the character’s choices!
