This is lesson 7 of 8 Basic Handling Lessons. This unit culminates in the Attitude Test in which students apply all of the Handling lessons to an actual flight. This is a 3 minute flight simulator
Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute
This lesson has students investigate how forces and motion affect a car fueld by CO2 gas. Students have a design challenge to utilize their science knowledge to create a successful car.
Day 3 of 3 in a skateboard building unit. Student will apply Newton's law skateboarding, deconstruct and construct a basic skateboard, learn basic safety and outdoor riding rules.
This is lesson plan two of three in a skateboard building unit that applies Newtons Laws to skateboarding. Students will learn the parts of a skateboard, construct a simple skateboard, learn safety
In this lesson, students will observe the different ways a sheet of paper can fall. They will face two challenges with paper, the final challenge being to create and test a parachute for a small
This plan is meant for 3 days of work. Two books go with this plan. Two types of model rockets are included in this plan. Discussions and entries into a STEM Notebook are part of this plan.
This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.
Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.
