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
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
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
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
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
In this lesson designed for 7th grade, students will explore increasing and decreasing magnetic field of electromagnets by changing the iron core, wire gauge, or wire coils to determine which variable
