The goal of this STEM project, Water Slides and the Forces That Move Us, was to help early learners understand the concept of non-touching forces—particularly gravity and friction—through inquiry

First-grade students get hands-on experience with heat from friction. This lesson provides opportunities to explore with friction, record and evaluate data, and design a vehicle using materials that

During the implementation of this lesson, students will have a great understanding of how we (humans) impact the world around us. Students will be able to understand how changes in an ecosystem's

In this hands-on STEM lesson, students explore the science of constellations through a cultural lens by creating their own star patterns using black construction paper, gold star stickers, and yarn

In this cross grade, multi-curricular three lesson mini-unit students will identify each part of a flower and its function as well as the necessities plants need to thrive. Students will observe the

Explore genetic diversity and conservation with a hands-on activity simulating the bottleneck effect using black-footed ferrets as a case study. This lesson is Ideal for grades 6 and up.

In this activity, you will learn how to create art with moving parts using everyday items like cardboard, skewers, and craft supplies. You will build an automaton- a machine with parts that go up and

Students will develop and use models to explain how living things use resources to grow and survive; design and evaluate habitats for organisms using earth materials. Students will then experience how

In this hands-on STEM challenge, 4th graders become engineers by designing, testing, and optimizing miniature roller coasters! Students will: Investigate forces (gravity, friction) and energy transfer
