Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
This lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real world objects by breaking them
This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students
In this lesson, students will learn about desert plant and animal adaptations and the concept of biomimicry. Students will discuss examples of biomimicry in nature and in the real world and will
The Navajo Code Talker Mockup Radio Transmitter Project is an ELA/STEM hands-on lesson designed for 11th-grade students. This project-based lesson that involves students working in small groups to
This lesson combines math, science and art in a sparkling and engaging activity. Student will learn about rock classifications and draw an example using geometry. Students will gain an understanding
This lesson introduces the students to what are antibiotics, how they work, and why they are important. At the same time, it also talks about how an organism becomes antibiotic resistant. The students
This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.
Students design and create a sculpture out of recycled materials and then calculate the surface area and volume of the sculpture that they created. They will then utilize the surface area to try and
Students will gain an appreciation of M.C. Escher's tessellation artwork and process and be inspired to create their own tessellation.This lesson combines math, art and technology by using an
In this lesson series, students will explore the process of photosynthesis by collecting data through measurements. Student previously engaged with an experimental lab setup for gas collection, and
Engineers create and use new materials, as well as new combinations of existing materials to design innovative new products and technologies—all based upon the chemical and physical properties of
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
In this virtual reality frog dissection, students get to explore the anatomy of a female frog inside and out. The frog’s respective organs are scientifically accurate models to scale, allowing
In this project, students will create a professional blueprint of their real-life home. Students will then do research to find at least ten places in the home that impact the environment (positive or
For this lesson students will be exploring/applying the concept of equations of circles. The teacher will place a giant graph in the room and students will make a circular art design to put on the
This is an adaptation of an HHMI BioInteractive activity. Students use graphics of scenes from two different areas where Rock Pocket Mice are evolving due to a change in environmental conditions (ie
This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
Students explore how rearrangement of lines of code relates to sequences of geometrical transformations.
Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math
