Sun Catchers Kits

Using the overarching question of how various forms of solar energy can solve challenges in our lives, students explore the power and significance of the sun both as an energy source and a member of the cosmos. In this kit, they'll ask big questions like "What are all the different ways we rely on the sun and what is the evidence of its importance in our lives?" This integrated NGSS curriculum and activity kit brings Science & Engineering Practices (SEPs) and Cross-Cutting Concepts (CCCs) to life in your classroom.
