The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform
Students are constructing a cardboard control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors. In this lesson, students will begin working on the electrical
Students are constructing a cardboard remote control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors.
Students will build landing gear to successfully land a rover on Mars
The goal of this engaging science lesson is to deepen students' understanding of magnets, electromagnetic forces, and their practical applications in real-world technology. Aligned with the 7.P2U1.1
This lesson allows students to visualize the vast scale and immense sizes of object in the solar system. This activity can be calibrated by the math levels of your students, so they are not left
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
In this lesson plan, students will make use of their knowledge about gravitational force and factors affecting it to design a stuffed mini parachute that will land the slowest from a given height
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 learn about kinetic and potential energy using cardboard cars and catapults, including the science and math concepts behind them, as they prepare for the associated activity in which they
Using Vernier motion sensor technology (not included) students will model their position vs time on Vernier Graphical Analysis.
Students will create an inclined plane using Pythagorean Theorem and will experiment with rolling objects and try to find a solution to reduce the speed through friction, or air resistance or weight.
In this lesson students will use the Engineering Design Process to build a zipline carrier that will take their passenger down the zipline in a given time period, adjusting and altering their design
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
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
Students are provided with recycled materials and given the challenge to built a boat that will carry weight and sail across a container without sinking. Students will learn about buoyancy and what
This lesson will introduce students to the phases of the moon and how they are created by the position of the Earth, moon, & sun during the month. There is an embedded hands on activity that is
An introductory lesson regarding the size and scale of the Universe and objects within. Designed for high school Astronomy but easily useable with ages down through 7th grade.
In groups of 2-4, students will work through the Engineering Design process on building a tower as tall as possible with 100 index cards, that supports the weight of an object, chosen by the teacher.
Using Newton's Laws, students will create a contraption out of given materials to protect an egg from a 10 foot drop.
Could Iron Man actually survive a super hero landing? In this lesson, students follow the engineering design process to create a "suit" for an egg to protect it from being dropped on the ground. They
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
