Design robot cars that can park themselves safely without driver intervention. This can be done with LEGO EV3 or Spike Prime robots. Also possible with other robots, but instructions are not included.
Understanding and studying energy transfer produced by molecules collisions can be difficult and abstract for them. To make it easier for them to visualize, creating a Newton's Cradle will help them
Exploring chemical reactions is highly engaging for the students if taught in a student-centered lesson. This lesson was inspired by the activity of 6th-Grade Amplify Science, Exploring Chemical
This is the 3rd part of a 4 part lesson series where students will determine the thrust and stability of their water bottle rockets to answer their essential question: Using the Design Process how can
Teams brainstorm ideas that meet the size and material design constraints and create prototype bridges of the most promising solutions. They test their bridges to see how much weight they can hold
This lesson delves into Matter and why it matters. What makes it what and how we can change these substances.
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
This STEAM project will have us exploring some of the issues or problems associated with food and creating solutions to educate and persuade our community about how our food is produced and making the
In this lesson, students will learn about abiotic and biotic factors by investigating the school grounds looking for living things and how they are interacting with their environment.
In this lesson, students will conduct an investigation to see how temperature can affect the state of matter.
This project encourages students to be more knowledgeable on the beauty and natural resources of the Grand Canyon State, Arizona, by creating informative posters and hosting a classroom gallery walk
Collaboratively, students will make a 3D-model of their chosen Arizona biome. Their model must show the different interrelationships between biotic and abiotic factors. After project making, students
A hands-on lesson that teaches students about simple machines and types of energy.
Students will gather information to develop a model about the essential elements needed by plants in order to grow and survive. The students will then apply this knowledge by conducting an
In this lesson, students will embark on an exciting exploration of greenhouses. They will discover how greenhouses provide a special environment for plants to grow by letting in sunlight and trapping
This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for
Engage your students by learning about the Ferris Wheel and constructing a ferris wheel in a collaborative assignment. The informational text of Mr. Ferris and His Wheel is linked for your convenience
Lesson two of four: Showing students there are lots of possibilities when building Robots. Helping them see there is no right or wrong way.
Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated
Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of
Students will use known geographical features to identify landforms on images from the Mars Orbital Reconnaissance Satellite.
Students explore the solar system and space concepts (including microgravity, eclipses, etc.) using technology. Student choice is given with a choice board.
Explore temperature and weather with students. Teachers will guide students through this graphing and research activity. The unit opens with a literacy component, Global Warming with Seymour Simon
This lesson serves as the introduction to the fascinating world of hydroponics, a method of growing plants without soil. Students will learn about the principles , benefits and various systems used in
