Students will explore energy, electricity, and engineering in this hands-on lesson using the Kidwind kit to create a wind turbine.

In this lesson students will discuss how contact forces cause energy to be transferred and objects to move. They will learn that sound waves involve contact forces. Students will consider how contact

Students in this lesson will set up an investigation to see if a salt lamp affects plant growth. They will use what they know about photosynthesis and cellular respiration to make sure the plants have

In this lesson, students will collaborate and communicate effectively with peers to complete an engineering design challenge using the Engineering Design Process. Students will be using technology to

Students will be working cooperatively to explore wind energy and electricity by engineering wind turbine blades.

Environmental Masters of Disaster Team (groups of 3-5 students) will choose an man-made environmental disaster, analyze its effects, then engineer a method or prototype to solve the problem.

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and build a controlled-release tablet, which will be made from different colored bath tablets and a variety of water-soluble plastics. First, they

This lesson plan includes ideas and materials centered on Mark Kelly's book Mousetronaut. The students will be discussing gravity and listening to the book. They will then be participating in an

This lesson plan includes ideas and materials to last for 5 days. The students will be learning about human impact on tide pools and engineering their own solution. On the first day will be about
