Get ready for the opportunity to experience the life of a scribe in 2000 B.C.E. During this productivity lab and inquiry, students explore how new knowledge and new technology can impact a workers

In this lesson students will use Tinkercad to design a puzzle piece that will be used in the Escape Room from the previous lesson. This can be used as a stand alone lesson or in conjunction with the

In this lesson students will design a rough and final draft of an escape room using scale factor and ratios. Students will also create an escape plan using math at the level of the teachers choosing

This lesson will help students learn how to code on micro:bits and create on this mini coding board. Students do not need the physical micro:bit to complete this lesson. On the website, there is a

This lesson is a follow up of lesson 1 of 2. Students will extend the focus of their cause by creating a logo and swag to be presented at an "EXPO" held at your school.

This lesson can be applied to multiple content areas. Following a discussion about what a cause is and looking at examples, students will work in groups to create a name, mission statement, and vision

In this engaging lesson, "Exploring Gravitational and Electromagnetic Forces," students embark on a captivating journey to uncover the unseen yet powerful forces that shape our world. Beginning with

The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM

Students work together to measure the lengths and angles of a maze in order to create a scale drawing of it. They then use EdScratch to program their Edison robots to navigate the maze.

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

In this lesson, students are challenged to make a wind sock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.

In this lesson, students are to use simple materials to create a structure that holds weight. It must be able to stand on its own. Students will first study and discuss gravity.

This lesson pairs STEM with the book -Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Students will discuss characters, their relationships to the Greek Gods, the importance of the Greek Gods

After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of

Students engage in the Engineering Design Process and e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.
