Students will learn about a variety of fossils and graph what they have learned. Students will also research about a dinosaur of their choosing and write about it.

This lesson gives students an opportunity to apply the concept of measuring to a real world experience of measuring plant growth over time.

This lesson delves into Matter and why it matters. What makes it what and how we can change these substances.

Students will understand how we see objects. They will learn that your eyes see objects when light hits an object and reflects off the object into your eye. They will also be able to identify the

Students will work to discover an understanding of the part light plays in seeing color. They will work with looking at colors in red and blue light. They will expand on what they explore during these

Students will learn the real primary colors by analyzing a decomposed image and experimenting with different paint colors to understand the primary colors of paint are cyan, magenta, and yellow.

In this lesson, students will understand the basic functions and components of an Edison robot. They will collaborate with peers to demonstrate basic programming concepts by providing simple commands

Students will understand the concept and properties of buoyancy and density, through a hands-on exploration with the Lakeshore Design and Play STEAM Kit Boats by assembling boats using a foam hull

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.

Student will have the opportunity to build their own Vermicompost bin in this hand on lesson. This is a great opportunity to bring in a Community Expert ( I did ! ) to share their love of Urban

Students will use live seedlings and available information about seedling and the Sun's energy to determine the best location for the plant to thrive.

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.

The lesson is designed to engage 3rd-grade students in hands-on exploration of scientific and mathematical concepts using the Dash robot. The lesson aligns with the Arizona Science Standards for 3rd

This lesson is a dissection of a flower native to Arizona. Students will identify the parts of the Arizona Yellow Bell, while learning what characteristics are needed to make a flower in Arizona

This lesson plan will encourage students to reconstruct one of the most ancient engineering designs. Not only will they explore how canals have shaped human survival, but also how we continue to use

How could a zombie outbreak happen? In this lab, students will observe how quickly an unknown disease can spread by mixing water from a cup with their peers' water. Contaminated students have iodine

Could Iron Man actually survive a super hero landing? In this lesson, students follow the engineering design process to create a "suit" for an egg to protect it from being dropped on the ground. They

This is a fun lesson that will get a taste test at the end! Students will work through the scientific process and watch these seeds sprout RIGHT in the classroom.

Students collaborate with partners to create a game in which they practice their multiplication and division facts.
