In the lesson plan, students will embark on an exciting engineering challenge as they construct and program their own robot rovers to strategize a mission to the Moon. Throughout the lesson, students
In this lesson plan, students will embark on a journey to explore and understand the fascinating world of Moon phases. They will begin by sharing their prior knowledge and everyday experiences of Moon
Students will dive deep into the career choices of the Computer Science world. Then they will have a chance to share with their fellow students to learn about even more careers.
Students will engineer a game with rules and directions to help understand and practice proportional ratios with as little material needed as possible.
In the lesson, students will be able to build and explore how fractional edge lengths impact the overall volume of a figure. Students will gain a tangible understanding of how fractional edges impact
In this lesson, students will build irregular figures using Magna-Tiles. Students will collaborate, discuss, and debate with peers to find multiple ways to calculate the volume and surface areas of
In groups, students build models of volumes and surface areas with Magna-Tiles and learn to distinguish and verbalize the difference between these two mathematical concepts. Students then use the 3
Students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge.
Students will follow the Engineering Design Process to create a hoop glider out of straws and index cards and explore the forces of flight. Students will work on the 4Cs skills as they work together

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.
Students will experiment with light on plants to explain photosynthesis
Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
Students start to build 3d models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.
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 will use a budget sheet to 'buy' materials for the challenge. They will be applying their knowledge of decimals to add up their total as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills
This STEM lesson focuses on technology, engineering math. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for groups of 3-4, it could be used for a
~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
In this lesson, students will construct a solar updraft tower. They will use heat lamps to warm the air inside the tower, resulting in the propeller spinning. This lesson helps students gain a better
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
