In this 6th grade STEM lesson, students explore the real-world challenges of renewable energy by designing and testing simple solar oven and wind turbine models. Working collaboratively, they will
Students discover how the physics of waves and sound connect to real-world biomedical challenges. Through hands-on simulations, spectrogram analysis, and a design challenge, they explore how engineers
Students will use motion detectors to move to match given potion time graphs which will create velocity graphs. They have to learn how to read new graphs and to compare real motion to graphical data
Where learning takes root and futures grow: This is the first lesson that was used for a project that took learning beyond the classroom and into the garden, where students gain hands-on skills
Students will make a concrete mixture from sand and white glue. This entails a civil engineering lesson on strengthening soils in order to prevent structures from collapsing. Students will create a
In this lesson, students will learn how insects build sustainable homes and model the insect homes to design a settlement on Mars using the concept of biomimicry. In this lesson, the students will
This includes my whole unit of a four week lesson on the Universe. I was quite fascinated with the amount of resources available for us from NASA and ESA to help teachers in keeping the students
In this lesson, students will explore the cell membrane as the selective “gatekeeper” of the cell, regulating the movement of substances to maintain balance and homeostasis. Using both virtual reality
Students design and build eco-friendly theme park rides using recycled materials to model energy efficiency, test data, and explore sustainable power sources through STEAM.
