Students will construct an explanation using evidence to demonstrate that objects can affect other objects even when they are not touching. They will explore electric, magnetic, and gravitational
This lesson serves to provide an extension to lesson one. In this lesson, students will have the opportunity to build their own model of the solar system to scale, utilizing math concepts of exponents
This lesson serves as visual example of the concept of exponents and how scientific notation is utilized in science. Additionally, students will utilize scientific notation to measure distance of
Students will have fun building and testing with KidSpark observing and calculating forces such as load and effort.
In the 5th-grade Paper Plane Aerodynamics lesson, students embark on an exciting journey into the world of flight. Through hands-on activities, they explore the fundamental principles of aerodynamics
In this integrated STEM + Math lesson, students will learn about and then create blueprints. This lesson demonstrates how blueprints can be used as part of the process in solving real world challenges
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
Students will use a budget sheet to 'buy' materials for the challenge. They will be applying their knowledge of decimals to add up their total as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills
Teaching with phenomena is a great way to connect real world events with inquiry based learning in the classroom. In this lesson students will observe and investigate a phenomenon that involves the
The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density
In this lesson, students will incorporate science and math concepts as they investigate properties of matter. They will apply mathematical concepts and formulas in a hands on activity where they
This is a 5th grade force and motion lesson plan. It uses roller coasters to help students develop real-life connections to the ideas of motions, and balanced & unbalanced forces. It allows them to
Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while
Students will use the engineering process to build the sturdiest bridge they can out of foil. Bridges will be tested by putting pennies on them to see how many pennies they can hold before collapsing
Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
Lesson 2 of 2. Create a shelter that can withstand an earthquake. Students research earthquakes and then use a prototype to create a earthquake proof shelter.
Lesson 1 of 2. Students will create a prototype water disaster shelter for displaced families. Must meet different criteria and allows for brainstorming and creativity. Helps students understand
This lesson looks at the Fibonacci sequence and the story of Fibonacci. It looks at the numbers, the rectangles and places in nature and art where they can be found.
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
Designed for three hour-long before-school STEAM Club for scholars from Kindergarten to Fourth Grades. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
1. Present the project and explain the basic steps that the students will be completing over the next 2 to 3 class periods. • The students will be working and pretending that they work for an
