After learning about Ancient Egypt, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Egyptian Pyramid Prototype. Each group will be challenged to build a 4 sided pyramid that
Students will experiment with electromagnets and building them using a 3-D model. They will collect data and analyze the data. Students will experiment with 4 different types of batteries and create
After learning about Ancient Rome, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Roman Aqueduct challenge. Each group will be challenged to build a working aqueduct using the
The first part of this lesson reviews the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles using graph paper. Algebraic representations are introduced and students define variables and write equations
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.
I can use the engineering process to create a shock absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” in a lander as it is dropped from various heights on the moon.
This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider

Students will design and build a tower with limited supplies. Students will measure their tower and add their data to a class dot diagram. Students will practice engineering, measurement, and graphing
This lesson will teach students about magnets by creating a magnetic city. Students will learn about the force to repel and attract. Students will share and present the project.
This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.
In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
In this lesson the students will learn to identify some common household substances whether it is acid or base using red cabbage juice.
Unveiling unseen forces: Explore magnetism, understanding the mysterious powers at play in our world. Get ready to uncover the hidden forces that guide compass needles, attract objects, and unveil the
This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks
How to get the egg to land safely. A fun STEM/engineering egg drop activity for 1st grade. This can also be tied to science standards with older grades (4th +).
This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song
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
Students will read the novel, "The Lion of Mars", design & launch paper rockets, and then design a sustainable Mars Colony inspired by the novel.
This lesson is about Rapunzel who wants to get down from her tower and explore the world. As engineers, you have to build her a structure to escape safely.
