Students will learn about the physics of motion and force and use those to create a mini-golf course hole that has obstacles and an environmental awareness theme.

Build a strong house able to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms. Compare your work with the actions of a character from If I Built a House.

Summary: In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on, the goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to

This lesson plan assesses motions and forces concepts through roller coasters. Plan, design and construct a successful roller coaster track that is capable of rolling a marble through its entire

The students can able to build a solar power car and test it if it works outside when there is a sun at the of this activity. They can able to discuss what solar energy can give to human through

In this unit, students will study the effects of air pollution and engineer an environmentally friendly air filter to reduce pollutants in the air using common household items and recycled materials

Summary Each of the first two Basic Handling lessons is approximately 5 minutes in length. The onboard “Flight Instructor” will instruct student trainees on what they should be doing and interacting

Students will plan and design a maze using the supplies provided to move one marble from the start line to the finish line. They will learn about potential and kinetic energy properties. We will use

This lesson will explore aerodynamics, rocketry, and principles of space flights. Students will act as engineers. Their job is to research, plan, design, and build a water bottle rocket that will

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

This lesson teaches students how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones there is a discussion about preparing the drones for

In this lesson, students will show how heat transfers into an egg during the hard-boiling process, and additionally, different methods of how heat can transfer out of an egg during the cooling process

Recording weather data for the city that each student has chosen for 2-3 weeks. Students will be able to record and analyze weather patterns for a selected city. Students will be able to explain

Students will be able to describe what a climate zone is and describe how the distance from the equator impacts climate, describe the polar zone, mountain zone, temperate zone, and tropical zone

Over 2 days (60 min or more each day), students create a catapult out of jumbo popsicle sticks, a water bottle cap and rubber bands. The challenge is for students to launch their snowball (cotton ball

This is the first of four lessons that help the students to understand the forces that are acting upon a drone when it is flying. The students will learn about how thrust, weight, lift and drag work

Students will construct a paper windmill to compare it to their future wind turbine. The materials needed are Square piece of paper (any size), Pencil, Scissors, Ruler, Pushpin, Straw or wooden stick

Students will learn about the TItanic, the mistakes the led to the sinking of the Titanic, and the resulting large loss of life from a STEM perspective. Students will evaluate the mistakes from a STEM

To demonstrate their understanding of how energy is passed throughout an ecosystem and the symbiotic relationships of organisms within an ecosystem, students construct a food web marble run. This

Thermal shock: bake marbles and place in ice water

Students will design and create a working, themed pinball machine that follows specified constraints and utilizes makerspace materials such as: Cardboard box Rubber bands Push Pins Duct Tape Mini cups

Materials: Base plate: The base plate is the foundation for the wind turbine and supports the rest of the components. Tower: The tower holds up the gearbox and the rotor assembly. Gearbox: The gearbox
