Lesson helps from Cal Academy

While searching for lesson plan ideas (Because my district doesn't have NGSS compliant textbooks or other materials) I came across this from the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. It looks like something I can cobble together with some other stuff and have some good lessons.

A Cool NGSS Resource

The Concord Consortium has this interesting website that provides computer simulations/models for scientific concepts.  The student can select a practice, a core idea, and a crosscutting concept then the website provides several models to play with.   At least, that's what I thought it did. I selected as follows Practice: analyzing data Core idea; Earth and space science Cross cutting concept: energy The website gave me a whole bunch of different simulations but it also gave me a really cool real-world experiment on evaporative cooling .  Since this week is college and career week at my school I think I'll do this with my class and talk about skipping college and working as an HVAC technician instead.
