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
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.
Learning how to plot coordinates using Lego Prime Educational Set. This lesson integrates technology and mathematics.
This lesson guides students in building a hydroponics system using recycled materials.
Students will learn about the history of the Ferris wheel while engineering their own out of Popsicle sticks. Students may work individually to create their own spinning ferris wheel An emphasis on
Students will dive deep into the career choices of the Computer Science world. Then they will have a chance to share with their fellow students to learn about even more careers.
This Lesson demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After
Mixtures and Solutions: Students investigate how various mixtures can be separated. While making a mixture of salt and water, connections are made to global water supplies and the amount of fresh and
Students investigate the movement of electricity within a circuit and examine how a circuit can be used to power a device where electrical energy is transferred to complete a task by making wobble
Students will follow the Engineering Design Process to create a hoop glider out of straws and index cards and explore the forces of flight. Students will work on the 4Cs skills as they work together
