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 understand the concept of levers as simple machines and will identify and classify everyday objects as levers. Students will apply basic mathematical concepts to measure and compare the
In this lesson students model a fast change to Earth's surface by creating a landslide and a slow change to Earth's surface by simulating coastal erosion.
In this lesson, students will learn about Wilson Bentley, the "farmer scientist" who pioneered photomicrography to photograph snowflakes and share them with the world. Students will then design and
Students create a city and a plan for a route fro Thanksgiving parade with floats coded by robots. The students build the buildings along the parade route using area or addition/subtraction houses
This lesson plan has three main objectives. The first is that students will be able to recreate a map of the canal with 3D structures along the way. The largest structure being Casa Grande, or the
This lesson plan consists of two parts. The beginning of the lesson will introduce students to the 4 parts of the water cycle. During this time, they will be able to identify at which part the water
This is a multi-day lesson on the lifecycle of a pumpkin starting with how long it takes for pumpkin seeds to produce a sprout. There is also an art element using geometric shapes to introduce the
A coding activity for the STEM teacher that has to participate in Literacy Night at school! This activity/lesson will introduce students to coding as a fundamental element of literacy and ties in well
Students will use the engineering design process to plan and build a robot using recyclable materials and identify geometric shapes in the robot.They will also use tally marks to keep track of the
What is a geometric shape? Observe and discuss a variety of geometric shapes. Similar/different? Mathematical geometry vocabulary/activities with shapes Engineering a geometric playground Share or
In this lesson, students will read about volcanoes (using teacher chosen books and Readworks.org passages) as well as watch videos to see them in real life. They will then create their own volcano and
In this lesson, students will design and test solutions to protect their homes during monsoon flooding.
Students will use technology (or paper/ pencil) to create a monster using specific polygons. They will measure and describe their monster to a partner who will then re-create that monster based on the
Students will use the internet to collect data on a given State (or place) for 5 days. They will then make predictions on the weather and how to keep people in that community safe. They will then
In this lesson students will explore the water cycle. They will learn how the water cycle works. Students will be able to make their own project while observing the water cycle in ziplock bags.
Context: culminating activity at the end of a unit Students will create 3D Models of a waterform. Learners will record a photo of their model, write and type or record information about their model
