S5: Apply Technology to Engineering

In the 5th-grade Paper Plane Aerodynamics lesson, students embark on an exciting journey into the world of flight. Through hands-on activities, they explore the fundamental principles of aerodynamics

Students create a city and a plan for a route for a Thanksgiving parade with floats coded by robots. The students build the buildings along the parade route using area or addition/subtraction houses

In this third-grade lesson, students will make educated guesses about the "mystery object." Students will record what they notice and wonder about Mexican Jumping Beans. Students will create a game

This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to

Students will use a Sphero bot to collect data on the actual speed of the Sphero bot and use the data to make predictions as to how far the bot will travel in a given time frame.

In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and

Imagine how cool it would be to build a video game controller out of bananas! In this engineering design challenge, you will learn how to use everyday items and a Makey Makey kit to design a

This lesson combines ELA (reading and discussing the story), engineering (design a balloon with materials given and attach the balloon to an EdBot), and technology (code an EdBot to run the parade

Just like many things we do in our lives, pumpkin growth and coding follow a pattern. Students will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and fill in a practice page that talks about the pumpkin's life
