Oberving a macro cell: an egg! (5th Grade)

Hello boys and girls!

As you know, 5th Grade pupils are learning about the cells.

Most of the cells are so tiny that are invisible to the human eye; we need a microscope to see them.

But, if we look at an unfertilized egg, we can see a cell! In fact, the YOLK (yellow part) is a single cell.

We could identify:

• the cytoplasm (yellow)
• the membrane (by smashing soflty the yolk)
• the nucleus (a white spot in the cytoplasm)

STEM Challenge #10: Hibernating bears

Hello!

These short, cold days of winter many animals experience a process called hibernation. For example: squirrels, groundhogs, bats, turtles, snakes or bears.

Previously, they prepare a nest where they "sleep" for a long period of time. Some animals wake during hibernation to eat and relieve themselves, while others sleep through the entire winter.

STEM Challenge #10 engages pupils to:

"Design and build a nest for a hibernating bear".

Materials:

Building time: 40 minutes.

Pupils should consider some criteria and restrictions. For example: nests must have an entrance/exit or bears must be protected from the rain, snow and wind.
