Students will dive into the world of three-dimensional structures, shapes, and basic engineering principles through this hands-on lesson using Magna Tiles.
Students will create a community city by applying the concepts of area and perimeter using geometry shapes. This hands-on lesson incorporates the engineering design process and gives students an
The lesson connects STEM and Literacy with this amazing Read Aloud STEM Activity. In the story, the character shares her passion for math. She finds lots of places that she sees math in her world. One
Students will listen to the read-aloud, "The Most Magnificent Thing" by A. Spires and complete a STEM challenge. Students engineer a doghouse with moving parts, such as a working door, house roof and
This lesson is about exploring Arizona's state bird, the cactus wren, that lives in the desert, has special body parts and behaviors that help it survive in its harsh environment. Students will learn
Students will explore the concepts of sound and rhythm through a STEM-focused lesson plan that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with music. Students will engage in hands-on
In this primary Kindergarten-1st grade STEM lesson, students will learn to define algorithm, bug, and debug in reference to programming. Through engagement with a virtual simulation, students will
Students will ask questions and carry out a collaborative investigation to determine which ingredients produce the best Cloud Dough. Students will use their 5 Senses to modify and adjust the recipe as
First students will research information to describe climates in different regions of the world. Then students will design a prototype of different tools used in understanding climate.
This epic road trip is an end-of-year project where students are given the opportunity to reflect on their learning and select 6 unique stops in Arizona that a tourist should visit. Students are led
In this lesson students will discover harmful effects and chemical makeups of artificial ingredients, specifically food coloring and red dyes. Students will experiment with and demonstrate capillary
It can be challenging to sort through the various robot options out in the market for educators. This lesson is for educators who have used robots or are new to using robots. The intention is to use
Kindergarten students develop an understanding that the world is comprised of living and non-living things. They investigate the relationship between structure and function in living things; plants
Students will be able to recognize that living things are made up of parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to
Students will develop and use models to explain the growth stages of a corn plant, identifying internal and external structures and functions. They will also generate measurement data by measuring
Kindergarten students explore earth materials to find out how the sun and other heat sources change their temperature. The students use what they learn in order to choose earth materials that would be
This lesson is a continuation of learning where we will be able to place a greenhouse on the school grounds. The students are an active part of this process. This lesson includes discovery of how much
In this unit, students will explore the interdependencies in a system and uncovers circular causal connections. Students will use a stock-flow game, specifically the “Mammoth Game” to simulate how
This is the first of two lessons. The focus is to engage students in the hands-on activity of growing corn in water and study the germination process. Students will discuss and learn about the
In this unit students will observe how elements within a system changes over time, generating patterns and trends that affect the ecosystem of bees. Students will use Stock-Flow Maps to show the
Using The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as provocation, students will develop a project integrating math, science, engineering and ELA standards. Students will build a robot prototype and take it through
