S4: Apply Science to Engineering

This lesson uses a diagram of a football being punted to demonstrate the forces of motion and the transfer of energy. Students are then challenged to apply what they learned to engineer a mechanical

Does light have energy? In this lesson, students will engage in a practical experiment to witness how light can induce changes such as heating, altering colors, and setting objects in motion. As

Intro to magnets purpose: students engage in practical experimentation. The primary objective of this lesson is to acquaint students with the concept that magnetic force can either draw objects closer

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

In this creative engineering design lesson, students are challenged to use an inclined plane to create a safe and exciting zipline park for Zippy the Elf. This lesson reviews simple machines and has

This lesson is about exploring Arizona's state bird, the cactus wren, that lives in the desert, has special body parts and behaviors that help it survive in its harsh environment. Students will learn

Students will learn about nanotechnology in medicine and the use of nanorobotics. In this hands-on STEM lesson, students create nanobot using simple materials like toothbrush heads, motors, and

In this engaging STEM lesson for 4th - 5th graders, students explore nanotechnology through hands-on activities, discussions, and a creative project. They learn about the tiny world of nanoscale

In this lesson, students create paper rockets and measure the distance launched. Students are using the engineering design process and are provided time to modify their design in order to increase the
