Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.
Part 1: Rotation and Revolution (of Earth) Phenomenon: Why do we experience periods of day and night? This is a 1-3 day lesson with five activites primarily focusing on rotation of the Earth which is
In this lesson students will learn about the Makey Makey. They will create conductive touch points, record voice in scratch, and connect Makey to create an interactive poster. This can be used for any
This lesson is an introduction to Micro:bit. Students will learn parts of the device, as well as how to program and download a simple dice randomizer. Once the program is downloaded to the microbit
The lesson is adapted from resources created by the Green Drone AZ Project. This is module 1 of 4 featuring focused activities to address real-world environmental challenges within Arizona communities
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the concept of solar angle and how Earth’s tilt on its axis and revolution around the sun are responsible for seasonal changes in temperature, daylight
In this activity, students will build a shelter that protects them (cotton balls) from a volcanic eruption of lava and ash.
Students create a scale model representing earth's history in order to analyze how life has changed on earth over time.
Students use an interactive map and ArcGIS software to analyze the impacts of climate change on global populations.
This lesson walks students through the movement of air in the atmosphere and the energy that drives it. It contains a PowerPoint, activity, worksheet and assessment.
Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.
A lesson to teach students how to collect, organize, interpret data, make inferences, raise awareness, and suggest possible solutions on the water quality of the waterbodies in the state of Arizona.
In this lesson, students will be creating a working model demonstrating Earth’s rotation and revolution. Students will be able to explain the differences between Earth’s rotation and revolution
In this lesson, students will take apart and identify internal components of a computer, tablet or phone. Then, students will write responses to critical thinking questions related to the design and
Students will research and estimate the potential cost and benefit of building a very large solar energy facility is the Arizona desert. The main objective is for students to build math and modeling
Students will explore the phenomenon of length of day that is created by Earth's tilt on its axis in relationship to its orbit around the sun. Students will collect and analyze data about the length
This investigation provides a fun and engaging way for students to learn about data collection, graphing, and proportional relationships while exploring the power of renewable energy. By applying
Students will use empty soda bottles and a heat lamp to model the greenhouse effect that is essential for life on Earth. They will collect data and use it to create a graph of their findings.
This is the first of a series of lessons where students will build a robotic rover using the BBC micro:bit. In this lesson, students will determine the proper diameter for M3 bolts by making test
In the unit, students will identify ways abiotic and biotic components work together in an ecosystem and what happens when it's disrupted through a analyzing wildlife roadkill in Arizona. Students
Coding a robot to solve a math problem has made math even more fun! In this lesson, students will work with a partner to write a code that will enable the robot of their choice to successfully solve
In this lesson, Kindergarten students create a program that will teach their robot how to solve a simple addition problem. This lesson reviews prior learning students have already received regarding
In this lesson, students will work in groups to design a model that will demonstrate the best erosion techniques for the model of a road experiencing flooding or heavy rainfall. Students will be given
