Kelly Mill Med Pro Middle School

Simple machines make some tasks possible and some tasks easier. Join Zach today at Kelly Mill Middle School to explore the science behind simple machines.

6.P.3B.1 Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to provide evidence for how the design of simple machines (including levers, pulleys, inclined planes) helps transfer mechanical energy by reducing the amount of force required to do work. 8.P.2A.1 Plan and conduct controlled scientific investigations to test how varying the amount of force or mass of an object affects the motion (speed and direction), shape, or orientation of an object.

Kelly Mill Med Pro Middle School

Today Zach explores air, yes air. Air is our most familiar example of of the state of gas. Join us today as we explore and experiment with air.

Standard 7.P.2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the structure and properties of matter and that matter is conserved as it undergoes changes.

Respiratory and Circulatory Systems

Charlotte Lab School

What does our body do with the oxygen we breathe in? Today Brielle visits Charlotte Lab School for a lesson on the Respiratory and Circulatory systems.

7.L.1.4 Summarize the general functions of the major systems of the human body (digestion, respiration, reproduction, circulation, and excretion) and ways that these systems interact with each other to sustain life.

UNCW MarineQuest

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink! How can we make sea water drinkable? Join Max at MarineQuest to learn how to remove salt and impurities from sea water to make it potable.

“8.E.1.4 Conclude that the good health of humans requires:
• Monitoring of the hydrosphere
• Water quality standards
• Methods of water treatment
• Maintaining safe water quality
• Stewardship”
