Part 1: Rotation and Revolution (of Earth)
Part 1: Rotation and Revolution (of Earth)
Phenomenon: Why do we experience periods of day and night?
This is a 1 to 3-day lesson with five activities primarily focusing on rotation of the Earth which is a fifth grade standard. There are three hands-on activities to help solidify the understanding of Earth's rotation and how it leads not only to night and day, but also to changes in time. It includes two ELA lessons, one on rotation and one on revolution. A Venn Diagram activity compares what we see in the sky at night verses during the day. Activity five is an engineering project where students build a moving model of the sun and the Earth.

This hands-on lesson shows how you can use LEGOs (Spike Prime kits) and coding to demonstrate how gravity works and what can be done to counter the gravitational pull.
In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model
This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or
