AB  - Program Description: Through a project funded by the Science Education Partnership Award of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a team of faculty, staff, and graduate students from Dartmouth as well as educators from a local science museum are collaborating with middle-school STEM teachers from rural schools to develop project-based curricula.

The Feast and Famine curriculum focuses on having middle school students build a terrarium, plant and care for edible seeds/plants, design experiments, design and build measurement tools, and assess how different factors affect the plants in their terraria. This is an interdisciplinary project that incorporates environmental and engineering concepts. Engineering concepts include the use of laser-cutters to create the acrylic terrariums (CAD files available but students can also use 2-liter bottles) and the design and use of Arduino-based tools to measure temperature, humidity, illuminance, and more. In addition, students will use time-lapse photography to monitor plant growth.

Grade Level: 7th grade

Time: The curriculum is designed to be run over 4 to 6 weeks but can be adjusted as needed.


Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS):
•	MS-LS1-5. Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental factors influence the growth of organisms.
•	MS-ETS1-1. Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution.
•	MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systemic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
•	MS-ETS1-3. Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions.
•	MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modifications of a proposed tool.
