This lesson uses Sphero's "Rocket Payload" activity with the Outer Space Mat. The full lesson includes information on rocket payload, a Sphero coding challenge, a NASA link to read, optional questions

This lesson is focused on solar energy, students engage in a hands-on exploration of photovoltaic cells, motors, and light bulbs to investigate the correlation between light intensity and solar power

In this lesson plan, high school students will explore the concepts of AC and DC currents through hands-on experimentation. The lesson begins with a brief discussion on the fundamentals of alternating

This lesson will show you how to test a protein with a spectrophotometer and teach the students about serial dilutions

This lesson plan is on how to make agar plates to grow media on. This teaches the students how to measure out the agar and water and mix properly and plate the agar properly.

Students pull wooden "sleds" with different masses on them over various types of surfaces with spring scales (force meters) to calculate the different coefficients of friction. Students graph the data

In studying science, we are limited by the bounds of our own senses when collecting data. By developing technology that allows us to enhance and extend our senses, we can study things we would not

Students are guided through the urgency to create large scale plan solutions for climate mitigation and green energy fuel sources. They will then build and design a bioreactor using algae as a

Students will investigate different counting methods to find out total number of outcomes to be applied in probabilities. They will learn about fundamental counting principle, permutations, and

This lesson has students create a unique graphical visual of the components of blood within a vial. These components of blood are then researched and used as a control for accomplishing two

This STEM Argumentative Research Project engages students in exploring the scientific, ethical, and societal implications of themes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Students will work in groups to

This lesson is designed for 11 & 12th grade anatomy and physiology students. Students will design and execute a lab where they record their own electrical conduction system of the heart.

A look at all of the anatomy homeostatic responses that the body has. Each section has a lab or calculations.

This is a lesson plan which draws importance to the ability of trees to carbon sequester in urban areas. As the world urbanizes more and more each day, it is important for our health to emphasize

In this creative lesson, students choose to be heroes saving an endangered species or to be villains eradicating an endangered species. They create their origin story, finance a plan, and end with a

Students need to learn basic internet safety, which starts with developing strong login and site passwords before doing any research on the internet. Creating and managing strong, secure passwords is
