Students will dive into the world of three-dimensional structures, shapes, and basic engineering principles through this hands-on lesson using Magna Tiles.
Students will create a community city by applying the concepts of area and perimeter using geometry shapes. This hands-on lesson incorporates the engineering design process and gives students an
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
This lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real world objects by breaking them
Using The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as provocation, students will develop a project integrating math, science, engineering and ELA standards. Students will build a robot prototype and take it through
This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar
This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life
This is a lesson about finding the volume of cubes and students will build a final project out of cubes and calculate the total volume.
This is a lesson plan for 6th grade Math about the Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms. Students will be exploring and measuring real life examples in order to determine the surface area.
Students design and engineer a paper backpack to hold all the supplies swallowed by the well-loved old lady in "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books". They follow the engineering design
Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
Students create a city and a plan for a route fro Thanksgiving parade with floats coded by robots. The students build the buildings along the parade route using area or addition/subtraction houses
