Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using a one of six different flours provided. This lesson focuses on one of the data collection

Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using one of six different flours provided. This lesson is the first of three lessons that takes

After listening to the story Gingerbread Cowboy, students will use the Engineering Design Process to build a bridge for the Gingerbread Cowboy to safely cross the river.

In this lesson, students will build upon their prior knowledge of observational drawing by adding a digital microscope. They will explore, review photos they take, decide on a question to investigate

This is the first of two lessons on observational drawing as a means of scientific documentation. Students are provided the opportunity to draw a sunflower three different times (from memory, using a

What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate

Students will collaborate to design a school map to include living and nonliving 3 dimensional objects. Students will use a Cubetto or Sphero device to navigate through a student created map

In this kindergarten computer science lesson, students explore algorithms through a playful "Looping Train Adventure," connecting everyday actions to the way computers follow instructions in a

This lesson is called shape sculpture and the students will fashion a sculpture out of celluclay. Initially the students will create a 2D drawing of a cake design (or cupcake or doughnut depending on

Inspired by the picture book, "Count on Me," Kindergarten students will demonstrate the Engineering Design Process by collaboratively creating a model of a new toy for their playground, observing the

In this lesson, Kindergarten students create a program that will teach their robot how to solve a simple addition problem. This lesson reviews prior learning students have already received regarding

This lesson teaches students how and why it rains. They will have student-to-student interactions and hands-on learning opportunities. They will also be practicing their counting skills during the

Students will use science skills to engineer habitats for polar regions as they learn about the polar regions through hands on experiences.

In the Kindergarten aerodynamics lesson, young learners embark on an imaginative journey into the world of flight. Through a captivating exploration of flying objects like kites, birds, and paper

Students will listen to a story then participate in a Round Robin discussion. After the Round Robin activity, students will make a reindeer and race it against another student's reindeer.

Students will listen to Iggy Peck Architect by Andrea Beaty and describe what an architect does, engineering and the design process. Students will be able to design and engineer a strong bridge. They

Students will create a STEM Cardboard challenge after listening to the story Not a Box by Antoinette Portis.

This lesson combines ELA (reading and discussing the story), engineering (design a balloon with materials given and attach the balloon to an EdBot), and technology (code an EdBot to run the parade

Just like many things we do in our lives, pumpkin growth and coding follow a pattern. Children will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and fill in a practice page that talks about the pumpkin's life

In this activity students work together to create a model to show the relationship between plants and animals and where they live using play doh or clay. Students will explore things around them and

In this STEM Challenge, students add materials to help their rock roll better. Then, they examine how to push and pull their rock.

Students will use engineering skills, critical thinking, math and balance, and collaboration to build a home for a visiting Hedgehog. The materials are straws, string, wooden blocks, material/fabric

In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot. They will collaborate with their peers and use problem-solving skills and critical thinking to learn about coding and how to create an
