In this engaging lesson, students will use Sphero robots and a Solar System map to learn intermediate level solar system geography. Students program the robots to move from one location on the map to
This lesson is designed because kids love to compete and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed. Students must use at least one rubber
This STEAM lesson is ideal for Tucson/Pima County Middle School Students who can participate in the annual KIDStruction building contest, but you can also duplicate many of the learning opportunities
Students read the story "Just a Second" to introduce students to geologic time. Next, they are given an activity to understand how long is 4.6 billion years. Then students complete a lab that allows
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
Students create a scale model representing earth's history in order to analyze how life has changed on earth over time.
Students use an interactive map and ArcGIS software to analyze the impacts of climate change on global populations.
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
This investigation provides a fun and engaging way for students to learn about data collection, graphing, and proportional relationships while exploring the power of renewable energy. By applying
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
In this lesson, students will work in groups to design a model that will demonstrate the best erosion techniques for the model of a road experiencing flooding or heavy rainfall. Students will be given
This lesson combines math, science and art in a sparkling and engaging activity. Student will learn about rock classifications and draw an example using geometry. Students will gain an understanding
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 be using simple equipment to demonstrate the 3 laws of motion. They will be incorporating technology, math, and the scientific method to demonstrate what they know.
Volcanoes: Studying Viscosity of Lava & Magma and how it relates to The San Francisco Volcanic Field
This lesson allows students to explore why volcanoes are shaped differently and why they erupt differently. Students will investigate viscosity, silica content of igneous rock samples, and perform
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
