Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard
Students explore the solar system by conducting research and display their knowledge through creative writing and poetry.
How is Res going to collect samples from Mars? Can you use Edison to design a collector that can help Res collect Mars samples? In this lesson students will use Edison to design a sample collector
Students research NASA mission patches from the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle missions, learning what the elements on the patches mean. Students will then create their own personal
Students will use known geographical features to identify landforms on images from the Mars Orbital Reconnaissance Satellite.
Students explore the solar system and space concepts (including microgravity, eclipses, etc.) using technology. Student choice is given with a choice board.
The "Virtual Reality (VR) Exploration: Building a 3D Solar System" lesson is an exciting and immersive STEM experience designed for 8th-grade students. In this lesson, students delve into the world of
This lesson is an integration of ELA and STEM. The students will be introduced first to the reading of a short story as a springboard for the STEM lesson. Designing and assembling planes helps
NASA needs Resilience to take pictures to send back to Earth for observation. Resilience needs a cell phone holder that can take pictures or videos from multiple views. Can you use Edison to design a
When Res lands on Mars she will encounter various terrain that she must navigate successfully. Can you create wheels that will help navigate her through the terrain? This is part one of a four part
An integrated fourth grade math and geography lesson. This lesson is aligned to the ADE/NGSS Cross Cutting Concept of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity. The fourth grade social studies/geography
Get ready to embark on an exciting adventure that connects you to the incredible world of the humpback chub, an endangered fish species found in the mighty Colorado River. In this exploration, we will
