This lesson could be a Part II for the 3D modeling atomic theory lesson using Tinkercad, or this lesson can be delivered independently. In this lesson students fill out an atomic theory timeline and
Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline
Students will focus sunlight through a pinhole onto a sheet of paper. Knowing the distance between the projection and the pinhole allows students to calculate the diameter of the Sun using ratios.
Making a wave machine to learn about the parts of the wave. This is the foundational learning piece before heading into the seismic building challenge.
In this lesson, you'll witness the sparkle in your student's eyes as they become Candytopia explorers and chemists, making observations, grouping candies, and creating their own Candy Periodic Table
This lesson incorporates science, math and writing. Students will get to make and taste grilled cheeses and determine what ingredients and what methods they think will make the best grilled cheese
This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and
Students will read the original version of The Three Little Pigs and then explore different versions of the story. After exploring, they will complete a compare & contrast chart on two or three of the
Students will read and explore the idea of leprechauns and traps. Then, using the Engineering Design Process students will have to build a leprechaun trap.
Today we will learn how ice cream is made and then make some ourselves. To do this we will: Listen to an informational text describing how ice cream made and compare that information with our prior
Today we will make new crayons from old and broken crayons. To do this we will: listen to an informational text describing how crayons are made. make a solar oven. describe the steps we take to make
Within this lesson students will present their master-planned community to a test audience and potential clients. Focus on presenting to the client rather than reading information off the slide
Students will select one building from their master-planned community to construct a 3D model that absorbs/releases 8% less than the surrounding testing environment.
Students use GIS and analyze another digital map before constructing a model to explain human impacts on different biomes across the globe.
Students play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.
This STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the differences between substances (in the solid, liquid, and gas states), and energy transfer. It is intended to last
Lesson 2 of 4 Students will investigate and research key factors that impact urban heat islands. Equipped with evidence, students will draft a scaled drawing of a master-planned community applying
This challenge focuses on teamwork and the engineering process. Students will work in groups of 3-4 to research, design, build, test, and reflect upon their cooling structure. Work will be completed
This lesson plan will help students gather and analyze data from a climate of a small-scale area such as the football field, parking lot and botanical garden.
This lesson is the final lesson after teaching all four of Earth's Spheres. The lesson is designed to show the interaction between the Earth's spheres. Students will be assigned two spheres and then
Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
In this five days lesson plan or a class project, I used a picture book, "Seeds of Change: Exploring Wangari Maathai's Tree-Planting Efforts". This lesson plan is great for 6th -8th-grade students. In
In this lesson, students will learn about soil erosion and how it impacts the earth and its habitants. They will also learn about the problems that arise from soil erosion and explore some ways to
This hands-on and engaging lesson followed a unit on the Gingerbread Man. Students were challenged to build a bridge to get the Gingerbread Man safely across the body of water, so he doesn't get eaten
