Students use GIS and analyze another digital map before constructing a model to explain human impacts on different biomes across the globe.
This 2-Day STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the sun and solar system (including our planet, the moon, and asteroids), and is intended to focus on
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.
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 activity appeals to Kinder through middle school. Students use (DC) batteries to power lights, motors/fans, and speakers on a self-correcting Snap Circuit board.
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.
Students take on the roll of working for an ad agency, creating a new experience that tours the human body. Students will pick one body system and create an entertainment venue that has attractions
In this lesson plan, students will use Tinkercad to create a representation of a fraction in 3D. After, they will team up with other students to find the sum of the two fractions.
Students will use the Edison Robot as a base to create a robot capable of drawing a circle on a piece of paper. Design, modification, testing, and collaboration are all in the hands of the students
This lesson includes slides sharing an introduction to 3D printing and how it works. Students will then research ways 3D printing is used in the real world.
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 lesson will explore the idea of circuits as the students wire the components of a together to create a working wobble-bot.
Students will learn about Tony Sarg, the Puppeteer of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and will learn the history of the parade. Students will then design and create their own balloon character for a
This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable
This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that
Students will learn about the four types of seismic waves during an earthquake. Students will then use that information to design a house that can absorb a majority of the seismic waves, limiting the
Students research the impact natural hazards in a city in the southwest and create an artifact to prompt public action.
Bee Colony Collapse Disorder was first discovered around 2005. Since then, 60-80 percent of honey bee hives have been affected. Scientists thought they were making progress into identifying the
In this lesson, students will combine the fields of coding and robotics with music to program an Ozobot to "sing" a familiar song. Students will learn about music concepts such as notes and octaves
Students will use published scientific data and current evidence to identify the phenomenon known an urban heat island effect. Students will first analyze temperature data as well as land-use data
