Building a Solar Car
This lesson is a 7th-grade STEM lesson with Arizona science standards. Students will be exposed to different forms of energy with sustainability concepts built into the lesson. Encourages students to use renewable sources of energy like solar energy.
Students design a Solar Car using their background knowledge of energy and circuits.
Build solar-powered automobiles with the help of this inspiring STEM lesson for middle schoolers. Students will learn about the principles of renewable energy, create their own vehicles out of low-cost materials, and use solar energy to power them. Students will investigate the concepts of circuits, energy transmission, and problem-solving through practical construction and testing while developing teamwork and critical thinking abilities.

A Shocking Dystopia: STEM Adventures in The City of Ember Part 1 of 4: Blackout! Community Circuits
This lesson is PART 1 of a four-lesson unit, which focuses on futures thinking, the phenomenon of electricity, closed-system agriculture, and water as a renewable energy resource. “The City of Ember”
I use this egg drop/crash lesson as an introduction to Energy and Energy Transfer in physics. Students understand basic kinematics, but I generally conduct this lesson before projectile motion, but it
Students will use the engineering design process to complete 3 challenges. Each challenge gathers data and collects their engineering changes necessary to complete the challenge.
