Hoop Gliders: Day 1
Students will follow the Engineering Design Process to create a hoop glider out of straws and index cards and explore the forces of flight. Students will work on the 4Cs skills as they work together to create the hoop glider and complete flight trials making iterations as needed to meet the success criteria. This is the 1st lesson in a series of 4. Links to view all lessons and helpful resources are included!

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
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
