In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data
This is a fun unit that will discuss drones and gives students the opportunity to build an obstacle course to fly the drones through.
This hands-on lesson helps students understand exponential functions by using an LED circuit. LED luminosity decreases at an exponential rate as more are added in series. As students add more lights
This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by
This lesson allows robotics students to redesign a working floor vacuum and design it to fit the needs of a robotics lab - it should be able to pick up heavier and larger objects or loose parts off
Students will understand the concept of levers as simple machines and will identify and classify everyday objects as levers. Students will apply basic mathematical concepts to measure and compare the
After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to
This is the part one of the composting lesson that is aligned to the ELA standards of narrative reading and writing. In this lesson, students build their experiences by preparing the bucket composters
