Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for
This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted 9 - 12, dual enrollment and AP Physics.
A lesson on what diabetes is, what is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, creating a food diary, how the sugar gets into cells, how to count carbs, how people with Type 1 diabetes
In this lesson, students explore gravitational potential energy changes with the mass of an object and the height from which it is dropped. Students record the drop in slow motion to capture the
Intro to magnets purpose: students engage in practical experimentation. The primary objective of this lesson is to acquaint students with the concept that magnetic force can either draw objects closer
A look at the effects of dehydration and over hydration on the body and electrical conductivity of the heart. A look at what electrolytes are, basic heart rhythms seen on an EKG and how the heart
Students will collect and analyze data demonstrating how electromagnetic forces can be attractive or repulsive in this lesson. They test different items using a magnetic wand. Students will carry out
With this hands-on lesson, students will compare and contrast the growth of plants cultivated in an SPV lab environment with those grown in natural sunlight, understanding the impact of light sources
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
This lesson is designed because kids love to compete and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed. Students must use at least one rubber
Students are introduced to the current teams and given a brief history of their mascots. Then students research potential areas for an expansion team to start a new team (I do not limit them to just
Have you ever wondered what the real reason was as to why Galaga was such a popular arcade game? Look no further this lesson has you covered. Students will create their very own modern version of
MS MakeCode is the perfect stepping stone into the world of Scratch. Students will be able to create a working video game in one class period. As we all know classic video games were not built over
This STEAM lesson is ideal for Tucson/Pima County Middle School Students who can participate in the annual KIDStruction building contest, but you can also duplicate many of the learning opportunities
In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data
This is a fun unit that will discuss drones and building an obstacle course created by students to fly the drones through.
This lesson plan helps students understand exponential functions by using an LED circuit. LED luminosity decreases at an exponential rate as more are added in series. As students add more lights to
This lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real world objects by breaking them
This lesson allows robotics students to redesign a working floor vacuum and design it to fit the needs of a robotics lab - it should be able to pick up heavier and larger objects or loose parts off
