This lesson provides the opportunity for kindergarten students to develop a mock oil spill and develop methods to help ocean life after an oil spill. Student will hypothesize methods that can

In this lesson students will explore bugs and their attributes. Students will also understand the difference between an insect and a bug, use math skills such as counting and symmetry, and also have

A look at all of the anatomy homeostatic responses that the body has. Each section has a lab or calculations

In this lesson, students will work individually to build a working periscope. They will make a simple one out of card stock and then being creative with whatever supplies their teacher gives them

This lesson is to help students create geometric shapes by writing codes to allow their robot to create the assigned shape.

In this lesson, students will design and build their own mini golf hole (first on scaled paper, then using cardboard and recycled materials). One obstacle must be made out of a net. Students will get

This lesson is about the Petrified Forest National Park here in Arizona. It teaches students about the National Park. It also has a lab showing students how things like wood become Petrified.

In this lesson students will explore human regenerative medicines through the planarian's ability to regenerate. Planarians have specials cells that allow themselves to modify and regrow into any kind

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

Students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator, graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their linear line and then, hopefully

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be

How do light rays reflect and refract? Does light travel at different speeds in different mediums? This lesson reviews how light waves can be reflected and refracted, and how light waves can change

This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that

Students will dive into the world of three-dimensional structures, shapes, and basic engineering principles through this hands-on lesson using Magna Tiles.
