Theme	Design Challenge Title	Abstract	CSCOPE Alignment	Targeted TEKS
Safety	Seriously Safe and Scientifically Sound Chemistry Video	In this design challenge, students will learn about, demonstrate and teach proper safety and laboratory techniques and emergency procedures in the chemistry lab, by creating a short educational and entertaining video.	1st Six Weeks	1A,B 2A 3D
Matter	Does it Matter? Yes! We Recycle: Starting or Expanding a Recycling Program in our School	In this design challenge, students will learn about the characteristics of matter, including the differences between matter’s physical and chemical properties and the properties of mixtures verses pure substances. Additionally, the traits of solids, liquids, and gases will be investigated along with how they can transform into one another. The students will research community programs and methods of recycling common materials. They will create a proposal and a school wide campaign to establish, promote, and initiate or expand a recycling program on their campus.	1st Six Weeks	1A,B 2A,D,E 3C,D 4A,B,C 5A,
Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table	The Periodic Table Game	In this design challenge, students will learn about and teach, through their Periodic Table game, the many physical and chemical characteristics of the elements. This will include the characteristics of subatomic particles and atoms involved in chemical bonding.	1st Six Weeks	1A,B, 2A,B,D,E, 3A,C,D, 4D, 6A,B,C, 8A
