A Pig Parade is a Terrible Idea: STEM Challenge
In this fun lesson, students will develop a simple sketch and a physical model of a float to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. They will then code robots to attach to the float. Students will interpret data to state which design was a better choice of materials and performance.

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.
Students will learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion and practice this law by using the engineering design process to create a paper jet engine using a balloon.
After completing a unit on weather, students will be challenged to research, design, construct and attach a snow plow to their Edison robot. Then they will create a scratch code that will navigate
