Students will learn about engineering and design, planning and construction of a bridge.

Students will learn about engineering design and redesign a water delivery systems.

Students use various material to build a boat to sustain a given amount of weight.

In this lesson students will learn about the 3 types of matter and go on a matter scavenger hunt. After the scavenger hunt students will make graphs to show the different types of matter that they

This lesson combines plant science with measurement and line plot graphing. Students will research plant needs through books and media to plan and conduct an experiment which tests different growing

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

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.

This thematic unit has four lessons which introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, students will learn how to

Students will learn about animals that are native to their area and design and engineer their own animal bridge to help a specific animal species of their choosing to cross the road safely.

In this lesson, students will be introduced to 3D printing. Students will be put into groups and challenged to engineer a structure using a 3D pen. Whichever structure is both the tallest and

Students will plant seeds and measure their plant growth over time. They will record their data in a chart and create a line plot and bar graph to visually represent collected data.

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 story The Mice Who Lived in a Shoe to design and build a new house for the mice. They will work collaboratively to complete this project. The house will have to protect the mice

Students will apply concepts of money and solve real-life money word problems by creating a robot taco truck and driving it to other groups of students to sell their favorite foods.

This lesson is an introduction to the parts of a plant and how the parts help the plant get nutrients for grades K-2. Students will have an opportunity to plant and care for a plant at the end of the

Mad For Magnets is a lesson plan for K-4th grades. Scholars will learn about magnets, how they attract and repel, north and south poles to apply to the assigned challenge. Scholars will design and

This lesson, which is a follow up to the lesson about heating, asks students to observe the properties of objects after they have been heated and cooled to draw conclusions about the effects of

In this lesson, students observe the changes in states of matter caused by heat, or the lack in changes in some objects. Students relate this to the Driving Question of what happened to the Niagara

In this parts of a plant lesson students will be able to identify and describe the basic parts of a plant. Students will learn about seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. Epics books will be

In this lesson students learn about forces and motion by designing cars with materials provided in the Lakeshore Learning Design & Play: Cars materials. Students will measure distance driven, reflect
