Multiple-day Respiratory System lessons that cover the anatomical design of the respiratory system. Includes a basic model project to simulate breathing action and diaphragm. Includes muscles of the
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
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 multi-day lesson students will learn about prosthetics, design and build a model of a prosthetic limb, research prosthetics today and then have a Socratic Seminar to both share and debate
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
Students get to investigate how energy transfers using different phenomena. They practice using a Colorado PhET simulation on the differences between potential and kinetic energy. Students will
Students learn about the chemistry that exists in some of the world's oldest surviving paintings. This lesson is the final part of a 3 part painting series, and focuses on binding agents in paint
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
A middle school STEM lesson using art to introduce slope.
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
Students studying 18th century portraits and way of life for diverse people in the founding era will use AI photo generators to create portraits of themselves. They will use the generation of their
This lesson begins the students' adventures into the wide world of drones. The lesson starts by exploring how drones (UAVs) are used in different fields. This lesson helps to gauge interest in
This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course
The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM
In this lesson, students are introduced to the use of synthetic pigments (biomimicry) in things they use everyday to make art. Students use solvents to separate colors and study chromatography in
