In this one-session lesson, 7th-grade students will explore the world of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) careers, learning what HVAC technicians do, the skills required, and real-life applications. This lesson is important because it exposes students to hands-on, high-demand STEM career pathways and helps them connect science concepts (heat transfer, electricity, and airflow) to practical jobs.

In this 30-minute lesson, 7th graders will explore essential soft skills—communication, teamwork, and empathy—through engaging activities that build self-awareness and social awareness. This Tier 1 classroom lesson fosters a positive classroom environment and equips students with tools to navigate real-life interactions confidently.
