This hands-on lesson digs deeper into the study of weathering and erosion. It should be taught after students have an understanding of the sun’s energy and some of the ways it impacts the Earth. The
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 learn about nanotechnology in medicine and the use of nanorobotics. In this hands-on STEM lesson, students create nanobot using simple materials like toothbrush heads, motors, and
In this engaging STEM lesson for 4th - 5th graders, students explore nanotechnology through hands-on activities, discussions, and a creative project. They learn about the tiny world of nanoscale
In this lesson, students create paper rockets and measure the distance launched. Students are using the engineering design process and get to modify their design in order to increase the distance
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.
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 build a model of a riverbank inside of a liter bottle. They will use different materials to improve the riverbank and lessen the erosion. Students will research and investigate what
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
Students are introduced to the javelina through reading part of The Three Little Javelina, reading about javelinas and watching an informational video. They discover potential conflicts and root
Students read The 3 Little Javelinas and experiment with making adobe bricks dwellings. Students analyze temperature data and describe benefits and drawbacks to using adobe.
