A Slippery Slope (Don't Fall!)
The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform the activity as this requires solving angles of slope. The title of the lesson is " Slippery Slope, Don't Fall". The lesson activity is divided into introduction - where giving information on the tallest building in the world and getting to know about Geotechnical Engineers and their work. The second part is building a slope and testing the tower. Finally, recording the data of how strong the tower by making 1 block depth and 2 blocks depth. Checking the data and solving the angle of slopes to better build a strong tower are really important in this lesson.

Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.
In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use
In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.
