This is part 2 of a two-part series. This lesson looks deeper into early electronic encryption tools and how they relate to cryptography today. The tools discussed are: Hebern Rotor Machine, Enigma

This lesson is a follow-up to the lesson titled "Creating Sustainable Solutions with Bioplastics Part 1". In this lesson, students evaluate different ingredients for bioplastics and create a minimum

In this lesson students evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of conventional, petroleum-based plastics, bioplastics, and their different varieties. The lesson is driven by class/group research

Students will delve into the intricate web of Earth systems, recognizing their interconnected nature and unlocking the secrets of Japan's geological features through observation and data collection

Students will unravel the intricacies of environmental impact analysis, gaining insight into its pivotal role in evaluating the sustainability of chemical processes. Through a blend of explanation

This lesson builds on the Part 1 of Urbanization Impacts in the HS Environmental Science classroom. In this lesson, students are utilizing their knowledge to create models of solutions to the

Students will combine science and art by using an alternative photographic process called cyanotypes or sun prints. After a short introduction to the history of cyanotypes and the process of creating

This lesson is to help students create geometric shapes by writing codes to allow their robot to create the assigned shape.

This is a lesson geared toward junior high and high school classes to introduce students to the idea of cryptography and encryption. This lesson could be simplified for younger students by removing

Over the course of three class sessions, spanning 90 minutes each, students will engage in an immersive project focusing on the outdoor air quality prevalent in four states situated in the

Students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator, graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their linear line and then, hopefully

Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs. The change in potential energy (changing height) is the work they do (fighting gravity)

This lesson plan is designed to give students the opportunity to learn about and implement bar graphs, line graphs, and picture graphs. Students will make physical graphs as well as digital graphs

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

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

This lesson allows robotics students to redesign a working floor vacuum and design it to fit the needs of a robotics lab - it should be able to pick up heavier and larger objects or loose parts off

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

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 listen to the story "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in order to understand the engineering project. Students will be introduced to the science concept of force and

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.

This lesson has students create a dynamic poem, using at least 3 particular Literary Elements, that describes the form and function of a particular Anatomy & Physiology term. The students will also

Engage 1st graders in hands-on exploration of simple machines! From classifying to building, this interactive lesson fosters STEM skills and real-world connections.

This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students

In this lesson, students will learn about desert plant and animal adaptations and the concept of biomimicry. Students will discuss examples of biomimicry in nature and in the real world and will
