This two-part lesson models STEM instruction in the context of an ELD classroom. In part 1 (this lesson), the goal is to promote scientific academic discourse in an ELD classroom. Students use a
In this physics lesson, students carry out a lab activity to determine Hooke's Law and investigate spring constants.
In this engineering design activity lesson, students will first learn about Civil Engineers. Then, students will be given an engineering challenge to design a tower with specific constraints. They are
In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may
In this lesson, students apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law and describe the amount of current that flows through and the amount of voltage across a parallel circuit. They do these by exploring the
This lesson allows students to describe the amount of current and voltage, and apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law in a series circuits. They do this by using the PhET Constructing Circuits Kit: DC and
This lesson allows students to investigate the relationships between current, voltage, and resistance using an Arduino board and electronic components, and through the PhET simulation: Circuit
