Students take on the roll of working for an ad agency, creating a new experience that tours the human body. Students will pick one body system and create an entertainment venue that has attractions

In this engaging lesson, students will research and design rhythm sticks. They will use them in music and PE class to exercise and create music with. This hands-on lesson incorporates multiple areas

Students will create a small solar fountain in this lesson. You will begin the lesson by discussing the concept of solar energy and its benefits as a renewable energy source. Students will understand

Students will make a connection between force, mass, and acceleration (more so velocity). They will design and conduct an experiment to explain how different sized rocks have different outcomes on

Students will design a wind powered coach to take Cinderella to the ball using paper, straws, and life savers. They will be able to work with a group to design, test, and revise their idea before

Students will use inquiry to see the conversation of energy by burning up oxygen and sugars to see Carbon Dioxide present in a system and create energy.

This lesson takes place in a classroom for 3 hours, where students will work in small groups of 2-3. to design and create 3-dimensional models of either a plant cell or an animal cell. This lesson

In this lesson, students will work in small groups of 3-4 to design and engineer a manipulative or activity designed to help practice simplifying expressions. Creative designs for the manipulative

Building a DNA model in the classroom can be a fun and engaging activity for students to understand the structure and properties of DNA. This is a simplified model to help students visualize DNA, as

In this lesson, students will learn about soil erosion and how it impacts the earth and its habitants. They will also learn about the problems that arise from soil erosion and explore some ways to

In this lesson students will demonstrate their deeper understanding of how the concept of slope is applied to the real-world construction of the wheelchair access ramp. Students will use the knowledge

In this engaging lesson, students engineer spinners to demonstrate force and motion. They are provided with materials and use pennies to help create a better balance. Students compete to see who can

Students will learn about engineering design and redesign. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to plan and design a boat structure. They will build a clay and paper

This lesson will explore the idea of circuits as the students wire the components of a together to create a working wobble-bot.

This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable

This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that

In this activity, students read about discovering energy and the impact encountered by ships at sea. Students will have the opportunity to read about how lighthouses can solve those problems and

In this lesson, students will code Edison robots to travel through the rock cycle. Students will describe characteristics of the metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks to create legos models

As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.
