This STEM activity is designed to be used with an animal habitat lesson. Students will create a UV animal using color changing UV beads and design a shelter to protect the animal from harmful UV light

This STEM activity is designed to explore force, motion, friction, and speed with a student-friendly and engaging activity. Students will plan and create a marble maze using simple materials. Material

This lesson plan is about the phases of the moon. It can be used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. This is a hands-on activity that would help students explore the explanations about the movement

Students explore the world of the lesser long-nosed bat through a self-paced hyperdoc. This unassuming bat is responsible for pollinating some the most magnificent desert cacti. It faced extinction in

In this creative lesson, students explore states of matter as they fuse glass. During this process, students are actively engaged as they design an art piece, work on measurements, and collaborate

Within this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a device that will protect an egg from a two-story drop. They work within small groups and test their creation and

In this hands-on lesson, students will explore how speed is calculated, what inertia is and apply it to Newton’s Laws of Motion. They use the engineering design process to construct race cars out of

In this hands-on lesson, students design a safety device (car/seatbelt) that can keep an egg (passenger) safe during a collision. The goal is to protect the egg from cracking during a roll down a ramp

This hands-on lesson has students create a barometer using a jar, balloon, stir stick and tape. They collect data over a span of time and graph it to understand how a barometer works and how it
