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
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
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 explores the concept of density. Students will observe a phenomenon involving floating and sinking. They will design their own investigations and they will learn how to use the density
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
In this lab students will observe how five different ice cubes react while melting. Each ice cube is made of a different liquid (matter). They will then collect their data on length, height, and
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
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
Students will be able to utilize multimedia resources, such as online simulations and interactive videos, to explain the process of natural selection and provide examples of how it leads to species
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
Saguaro cacti are collapsing in the Phoenix due to extreme heat and the urban island effect. Is there anyway to save them?
Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and
Description: In this engaging lesson, students dive into the fascinating world of bone anatomy by creating styrofoam models of bones and simulating fractures. Through hands-on activities, students use
This is part 2 of a two-part series focused on the effects of grafting tomato plants to potato root stock in order to create "pomato" plants. This lesson is written for junior high students but can be
This lesson is intended to be the second lesson within a series. After the first lesson, exploring the transfer of power within a system, Students utilize this lesson, lesson 2, to explain how and
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
