Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that
In this physics lesson, students will explore force, motion, kinetic energy and potential energy through projects and gameplay. They create a prototype of a cup and ball game using the engineering
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
This STEAM lesson is ideal for Tucson/Pima County Middle School Students who can participate in the annual KIDStruction building contest but you can also duplicate many of the learning opportunities
The investigation focuses on exploring the impact of hose length on water flow rate in a solar-powered pump system. Students will set up a simple experiment using a solar pump connected to hoses of
This lesson introduces students to TinkerCAD and has them create simple shapes that measure at a given ratio. The students then print and measure their design to see how close they were able to get to
In this hands-on STEM lesson, students will have the opportunity to explore light and color theory by building their own adjustable color mixing circuit with an RGB LED. Variable resistors will allow
Students use a 2-D physics sandbox, called Algodoo, to simulate the factors that might affect the period of a circular orbit of a planet about a star. Students develop Kepler's 3rd Law conceptually by
