This is a series of lessons where students will observe natural activities in the garden for five days. From the observation, they will identify the factors that have high probability of causing
This lesson shows how matter can be subdivided into particles too small to be seen by creating ice cream in a bag from measured ingredients.
In this introductory 5E lesson to organism adaptations, 5th grade students examine the case of the peppered moth to answer two inquiry questions: 1. (to Explore) Can organism’s traits help it in its
Students will use knowledge of forces and motions to create a pinball machine using simple machines.
Students will brainstorm, and make predictions of why an airplane can fly. The teacher will present the knowledge of aerodynamics to the students using video , and giving them opportunity to process
Students will use the engineering and design process to create a marble maze.
Urban Gardening; Part IV: Outdoor Container Gardening vs Indoor Hydroponics: An Experimental Project
This is the culminating lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production. In this lesson students will apply the Engineering Design Process as
Student partners or teams build a model of a watershed with topographical features; tributaries, mountains, lakes, rivers and valleys. Students experiment to see where the water goes when “rain” falls
In this lesson, students will apply the knowledge of calculating volume to determine the amount of soil they need to fill their planters. They will also use their skills to multiply and divide the
This is a series of lessons that discusses the process and factors that may affect and may not affect seed germination. This also builds the background of the students about the needs of the plants
In 5th grade Social Studies we learn about the American Revolution and study evidence of Espionage used by the Patriots to win the Revolution. Prior to the activity students will read a variety of
The lesson is designed for use as part of a unit on energy transfer within a system. Before doing this lesson, students should have a basic understanding of potential and kinetic energy. Students will
For this lesson, students will learn about simple machines (wheel and axle). They will learn what they are and how they work. The students will then use criteria and constraints in order to
Context: This lesson takes place in a classroom for two or more class periods Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on the experiment of making an indestructible Edison robot Creative
This lesson is from Arizona Game and Fish Department. The lesson has students look at data on elk-vehicle collisions on State Route 260. The road is being widened to a two-lane divided road with elk
Students will begin the year working with a hydroponics system to observe plant growth. To start the students will be given a seedling and determine what the plant is as it goes through the life cycle
This lesson explains how I organized and set up for a robotics camp I hosted in June 2023. It talks about the preplanning that was involved and how I planned for ten days of activities.
In the final part of A Light in the Dark (pt. 3 of 3), students create their solution to the problem based on their chosen theme. Students present their final solutions to be evaluated.
In this continuation of A Light in the Dark (pt. 2 of 3), students research their questions and consolidate their learning, then determine their next steps in the process to solve the problem.
This lesson introduces the unit exploring light pollution and possible solutions students can create. Students will explore what light pollution is. Students will determine next steps in the process.
