This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider
The challenge is for students to send a secret Morse Code message. This lesson has three parts: learning about Morse Code, understanding how radios work, and programming a Micro:Bit to send Morse Code
Students will upload their pictures into the Stop Motion app on the Ipad to edit with sound effects. Students will then be able to select a green screen background to use when they upload the film
Lesson 3 of 4 - This lesson focuses on students will begin taking photographs of their Lego “set” using the Ipad or Chromebook on a tripod to capture stop-motion movement with the individual pictures
A Stop Motion Animated Movie with a Green Screen background based off of a Lego Challenge built in Lesson 1. Students will create a storyboard and script. This is Lesson 2 of 4 lessons.
Part 1 of a four-part series of lessons that begins with a Lego Challenge which will become the set for a stop motion video created by students.
Different activities to do with students and families at a STEAM night. Programming robots, following an algorithm and creating a solution based on a theme of your choice. Plus STEM challenges and
In this first part of a three part unit, students explore the phenomenon of an LED light and a coin battery. They will discover the difference between a closed and open circuit, using a STEM journal
Students will construct geometric shapes in an engaging way with their Edison robot, then use their protractors to measure the angles they drew.
In this engaging elementary school lesson, students use the engineering design cycle to identify and solve problems, incorporating technology while reflecting on their process and sharing their
In this lesson you will have the opportunity to have students build a domain from the movie/book The One and Only Ivan. Students will have the chance to build and rebuild their domain if needed. As
A 4-8 grade STEM lesson 4 of 4 skills improvement and evaluation. Career outlook for UAV/Drone Pilots, paths to becoming a commercial drone pilot. A review of flight dynamics, and the steps that had
Digital Storytelling with Scratch is a lesson for 3rd Grade (and upper elementary) students to use Scratch 3.0 and elements of storytelling to convey their story to an audience.
Wildfires are a huge issue in Arizona during the dry season as there is plenty of dry fuel and very little water. Once an area has been devastated by fire, it is further destroyed by summer monsoons
This STEM lesson combines Math, Science and a bit of Engineering. Students will walk through the process of raising chicks to hens. Using pretend chicks and research to collect data about how they
What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along
Students will be learning about adaptation. Students will participate in a project where they will see if seeds can grow in a bag without soil and natural sunlight. They will also compare and contrast
Students will discover: I put rotted food into a container with earthworms, where did the food go?
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
Students will read an article about new innovative inventions. Students will research an issue they care about; for example, climate change, trash, world hunger, forest fires, pollution, etc. Students
This lesson is based on a Navajo Story: The Three Little Sheep. The story connects to the famous, "The Three Little Pigs". Students become engineers and create different dwelling models: a grass hut
Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is
In this lesson students will learn about weathering and erosion. They will also plant seeds to take home and to also grow at school. The lesson title is Gardening from School to Home Lesson #3.
This lesson is an introduction to CAD, possibly leading up to 3D printing. The idea is to be familiar with CAD and more specifically the TinkerCAD application.
