This lesson serves as the introduction to an 8 lesson series or unit on simple machines. This series will present dozens of activities to introduce your students to simple machines, culminating in the
In this lab, we will be completing a set of tasks that will help us develop a better understanding of the formation and parts of both transverse and longitudinal waves.
This is lesson 4 in a 4 part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will create a news report on Canva to demonstrate the kinetic and potential energy in their roller coaster
This is the 3rd lesson in a 4 part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will design and build a roller coaster that fits the criteria and follows a budget. Students will
Students will use the projects from lessons 2 and 3 to analyze the data of the electric cars they made. They will identify the variables in their cars and plan improvements to their designs.
This is the second lesson in a four part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will learn about friction and gravity. Students will test different materials to determine which
This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They
This is the first lesson of a 4 part roller coaster project for 6th graders. In this lesson, students will learn about potential, kinetic and mechanical energy, as well as the law of conservation of
This lesson shows how to make an electric car using a small motor and battery. Students created a car, attached a battery and on/off switch, and collected data. The data collection sheet is included
This lesson is an introduction to circuits. It teaches about what is a circuit and then applies what they learned in a variety of ways through centers. Then, they will apply what they learned about
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
Students will have fun building and testing with KidSpark observing and calculating forces such as load and effort.
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
