In this lesson, students will learn about the different types of flying machines and differentiate between them and identify the different parts of a drone. They will also learn about their functions.

In this lesson students will learn about water filtration and how to filter simulated Martian water. Students will build water filters and use the engineering design process. This is the 2nd lesson in

This lesson is about Mars and Martian water. It introduces students to the geography of Mars and the various ices found on Mars. This is the 1st lesson in a 2-part series.

Students create an animated model of a Mars mission lander or rover landing on Mars. Students learn and demonstrate basic Google slide skills of inserting images and text, changing slide backgrounds

This is a four part STEM project that incorporates several of the fifth grade math & science standards. Time allowance is one-two weeks. Students are given the opportunity to research an animal

Lesson 2 of 4 Students will investigate and research key factors that impact urban heat islands. Equipped with evidence, students will draft a scaled drawing of a master-planned community applying

Students recreate a unique Operation board game with a circuit that lights with an LED and buzzes with a piezo. Students use the Engineering Design Process to plan and document their process. Students

What are we learning? We are learning about the history of the Mars Rover program and how scientists had to work together to solve problems and make sure the rover landed safely on the Red Planet. We

In this integrated STEM + Math lesson, students will learn about and then create blueprints. This lesson demonstrates how blueprints can be used as part of the process in solving real world challenges

First Grade teams of students (3 first grade students) will work cooperatively with Fifth Grade students (1 fifth grade student per team) to explore Newton's Laws of Force and Motion by constructing

Students create ramps with different slopes to test out different balls and toy cars. They will time how long it takes to reach the bottom for each object and document their findings and observations

Students are learn to collect data from their robot. Students will also learn how to use that data to determine the mean absolute deviation of the robots movements.

Students are learning to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers using various numbers on a mat and driving an Edison robot to determine what rational numbers will be used.

Students will learn about the three pillars of sustainability through their quail farm. They will incubate, raise and restock their quails in order for them to be sustainable regardless of what

In this engaging lesson, students will learn about genetics and create their own characters in which they will find a mate and create an offspring. They will use traits and Punnett Squares to create

Students take on the roll of working for an ad agency, creating a new experience that tours the human body. Students will pick one body system and create an entertainment venue that has attractions

In this engaging lesson, students will research and design rhythm sticks. They will use them in music and PE class to exercise and create music with. This hands-on lesson incorporates multiple areas

This inviting lesson works in elementary/middle school classes. It’s ideal for independent centers & enrichment clubs. Additional challenges are easy to add. Check out my student Building Permit

In this lesson plan, students will use Tinkercad to create a representation of a fraction in 3D. After, they will team up with other students to find the sum of the two fractions.

In this unit-wide lesson, students will create, monitor/observe and explore a real-life model that allows for variations and disturbances that can alter their data and provide a day-to-day example of

Using the Binary alphabet, students will create secret messages that may be found on Valentine's candy hearts.

Students will use the Edison Robot as a base to create a robot capable of drawing a circle on a piece of paper. Design, modification, testing, and collaboration are all in the hands of the students

This lesson includes slides sharing an introduction to 3D printing and how it works. Students will then research ways 3D printing is used in the real world.

Students will design a wind powered coach to take Cinderella to the ball using paper, straws, and life savers. They will be able to work with a group to design, test, and revise their idea before
