Students will learn about potential and kinetic energy and how it relates to real life situations. They will move through a "Skate Park" simulation. In teams they will engage in the engineering design
In this lesson, students explore how scientists identify bacteria by analyzing the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Through hands-on activities and bioinformatics tools, students learn the process of
In this STEAM-integrated lesson, students explore how sound travels in waves by building a laser-based oscilloscope using a vibrating surface and mirror. They visually capture sound vibrations by
Code an if/then text based adventure game with Flowgorithm. Flowgorithm is a unique coding environment different from Scratch because it uses core coding concepts of flowcharts to demonstrate working
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.
Students will integrate technology and math concepts by programming Sphero robots to navigate an obstacle course made from cardboard boxes, using measurement and estimation skills.
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
In this exciting hands-on project, students will explore the basics of robotics by building three different types of bristlebots—small, motor-powered robots that wiggle and race using vibration and
