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 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
Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.
This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar
This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life
In this lesson students will learn how to maintain their drones: replace batteries and propellers. The students will conduct a propeller altering experiment to determine the effects of changing the
This is a four day lesson where students work in groups to design a fixture using LEGO bricks that holds a marker in an upright position while attached to their Edison Robots. Students code the robot
Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.
Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.
In this lesson, students will take apart and identify internal components of a computer, tablet or phone. Then, students will write responses to critical thinking questions related to the design and
Students will learn about the light sensor on the Circuit Playground Express and how it can be used as an automatic switch to turn a device on or off. They will learn about the thermometer sensor on
Students will learn and recall about the different parts and components of an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. Students will be able to program an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express
Students will explore how gravity plays a role in orbits and the attraction between objects in space, using online simulations. In addition to the online simulations this lesson contains ideas for
Students will be able to collaboratively build, and program a simple robot using Lego Spike Prime kits. Students will demonstrate basic skills in robotics and coding by successfully constructing their
This is an introduction to coding and computer science by way of making and design, using the revolutionary new micro:bit microcontroller board. The bootcamp lesson is designed to help everyone
Students will level up from player to designer to earn their publishing license... all through play! They will become experts in repairing, creating and publishing video games using the Gamestar
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
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
Students will use a Sphero bot to collect data on the actual speed of the Sphero bot and use the data to make predictions as to how far the bot will travel in a given time frame.
This lesson provides a quick and easy to understand introduction to Binary code. In this lesson, we focus on binary numbers whereas, subsequent lessons can focus on the binary alphabet.
Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases
Students will be divided into 6 groups, one for each of the major systems in the human body, and create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.
In this lesson, students will combine the fields of coding and robotics with music to program an Ozobot to "sing" a familiar song. Students will learn about music concepts such as notes and octaves
Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy
