This lesson uses a diagram of a football being punted to demonstrate the forces of motion and the transfer of energy. Students are then challenged to apply what they learned to engineer a mechanical

This lesson is designed because kids love to compete and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed. Students must use at least one rubber

It can be challenging to sort through the various robot options out in the market for educators. This lesson is for educators who have used robots or are new to using robots. The intention is to use

This is the part one of the composting lesson that is aligned to the ELA standards of narrative reading and writing. In this lesson, students build their experiences by preparing the bucket composters

This four lesson unit helps students explore the steps involved in the initial building of a new school: selecting a site based on the boundary and size of the land and then explores light energy and

Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.

In this hands-on STEM lesson, students will have the opportunity to explore light and color theory by building their own adjustable color mixing circuit with an RGB LED. Variable resistors will allow

This lesson is a continuation of learning where we will be able to place a greenhouse on the school grounds. The students are an active part of this process. This lesson includes discovery of how much

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

This lesson will help students learn how to code on micro:bits and create on this mini coding board. Students do not need the physical micro:bit to complete this lesson. On the website, there is a

Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this

This lesson is a follow up of lesson 1 of 2. Students will extend the focus of their cause by creating a logo and swag to be presented at an "EXPO" held at your school.

This lesson can be applied to multiple content areas. Following a discussion about what a cause is and looking at examples, students will work in groups to create a name, mission statement, and vision

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.

In this lesson, students will continue to build on their knowledge of electric circuits by testing materials for conductivity. Students will use Makey Makeys and random supplies to generate a

Get ready to engage with some hands-on activities that will illustrate the mechanics of calculating both kinetic and potential energy and unravel the equations for these essential parts of physics.

This lesson begins the students' adventures into the wide world of drones. The lesson starts by exploring how drones (UAVs) are used in different fields. This lesson helps to gauge interest in

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

Students engage in the Engineering Design Process and e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.

Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students

In this lesson, students will explore how energy works using circuits and stored energy.
