This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider
Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.
Students will solder a solar panel, dc motor, propeller to a cap and produce cool air using solar energy.
Students learn about passive solar energy and design and build a model of a passive solar house.
This lesson has students investigate how forces and motion affect a car fueld by CO2 gas. Students have a design challenge to utilize their science knowledge to create a successful car.
In this lesson the students will explore the formation of rocks as the result of the flow of energy and cycling of matter within Earth.
In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.
Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
The students will create a solar car with the given materials. Once they are done creating, the car will be tested. The students will calculate the speed of the car by timing the how long it will take
Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They
Students will discover: I put rotted food into a container with earthworms, where did the food go?
This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
Students will construct a straw rocket launcher that utilizes air pressure as the force to push the rocket through the air. A STEM journal will guide them through planning an investigation. Students
In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how
This is a series of lessons that help students understand forms of energy, energy transfer, and energy transformations. Through a series of inquiry based lessons, starting with the phenomenal Newton's
The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of
Designed for three hour-long before-school STEAM Club for scholars from Kindergarten to Fourth Grades. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
Students will set off and observe Wack-a-Pack. Then students will create their own version using Alka Seltzer tabs, water, balloons, and ziplock bags.
This lesson compares and contrasts different hydroponic systems and their benefits and setbacks. Then, the plan walks the students through the hands-on activity of creating a Kratky bin for hydroponic
This lesson provides opportunities for students to immerse themselves into the world of Jurassic Park. The students will read the novel, Jurassic Park and be able to research one of the dinosaurs
This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper
1. Present the project and explain the basic steps that the students will be completing over the next 2 to 3 class periods. • The students will be working and pretending that they work for an
