S2: Apply the Engineering Design Process

In this lesson, students will learn about biomimicry—the design and production of materials, structures, and systems modeled on biological entities and processes. Students will explore examples of

In this 4th-grade STEM lesson, students explore environmental sustainability through the book One Plastic Bag by Miranda Paul. Inspired by the true story of Isatou Ceesay, students learn how

Students will learn about potential and kinetic energy and how it relates to real life situations. They will move through a "Skate Park" simulation. In teams they will engage in the engineering design

In this STEAM-integrated lesson, students explore how sound travels in waves by building a laser-based oscilloscope using a vibrating surface and mirror. They visually capture sound vibrations by

In this hands-on forensic science project, students will step into the role of arson investigators by designing and constructing a two-story model home complete with interior walls, furniture, stairs

The goal of this STEM project, Water Slides and the Forces That Move Us, was to help early learners understand the concept of non-touching forces—particularly gravity and friction—through inquiry

First-grade students get hands-on experience with heat from friction. This lesson provides opportunities to explore with friction, record and evaluate data, and design a vehicle using materials that

Students will work in teams to design, build, and test boats made of aluminum foil to explore engineering design principles, buoyancy, and problem-solving. This hands-on STEM challenge introduces

In this activity, you will learn how to create art with moving parts using everyday items like cardboard, skewers, and craft supplies. You will build an automaton- a machine with parts that go up and
