8th Grade

Want to incorporate the Arts into your 7-12 STEM classroom? The Global Science Opera provides a way to do just that! Learn how to facilitate a STEAM collaboration with arts teachers to make it happen.

The students will come up with what is sound and how it is produced. Then in the next two lessons explore with a signal generator to explore amplitude and frequency.

Students create a polling station, using student-made buttons, a circuit, and coding a Micro:Bit, to discover and report current student trends.

On the second day students use more complex coding, the built in camera for taking pictures and experience FPV. It has 3 missions total in this lesson. This lesson also uses yaw to keep the camera

Coding and flying drones what a match! Students will have the chance to experiment with flying a drone in a simulator. The lesson includes 4 missions incorporating forces of flight acting on a drone.

This lesson integrates technology (microbits), engineering design, and career exploration for middle school students. It encourages hands-on learning and critical thinking through the creation of

Students use the engineering design process to plan, create, code, and share a unique, functioning illuminating e-textile sweater using a Circuit Playground Express (CPX).
