In the Drone Light Show project, students will explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and teamwork by designing and programming their own synchronized drone light show. Utilizing DJI

This is the second part of the lesson: Soap Lab - Soap Making. In this lesson, students will take what they learned about soap making and develop a marketing plan for their company. Students will

In this lesson, the phenomenon of soap making will be used to teach the chemical reactions and physical and chemical properties to middle school students.

Lesson "Phoenix Reimagined: From Sun City to Solar City" ensures that students engage in age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences that promote understanding of solar energy and its applications

Students use what they know about similar triangles to create a problem. They will use laser pointers and a small mirror to create a problem requiring students to point the laser beam at the mirror to

Students will explore the separation method of liquid chromatography by analyzing the types of dyes in marker brands. They will then get the opportunity to calculate the change in dye placement and

In this project, students practice using scale by designing and crafting items for a model bedroom using a 1:12 scale ratio. They learn how to accurately shrink real-world dimensions down to miniature

For this lesson, students will be using the LEGO Spike Prime Kits and LEGO Mindstorm software. Students will write programs using the Color Sensor to make the Driving Base autonomous. A variety of

This lesson shows how to use VEX IQ robots in your classroom. There are links to the VEX free resources that can be used to help new or experienced robotics teachers.

In this lesson students will collect data on the performance of their drone. Students will design a systematic process of data collection that will then lead to the development of a predictive model

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
