In this project, students will choose an environmental problem to research. They will look up why this problem is occurring and how it is harming the environment. Students will then come up with two
This lesson combines ELA (reading and discussing the story), engineering (design a balloon with materials given and attach the balloon to an EdBot), and technology (code an EdBot to run the parade
I use this egg drop/crash lesson as an introduction to Energy and Energy Transfer in physics. Students understand basic kinematics, but I generally conduct this lesson before projectile motion, but it
Pumpkin Jack Part One
This lesson includes fourth grade reading, writing, math, science, and engineering standards. The potential is endless with additional enrichment activities. Students participate in the nurturing and
In this lesson, students learn about seals. They will listen to a story about orcas and what they eat. Next, they plan and build an island for the seals to get away from the orcas. Finally, students
Through this project, students will explore the concept of the "robot brain" and its relation to AI. Understand the basics of circuits as a model for the functionality of a robot brain. Create a paper
Students will use engineering, art, technology, and 21st century skills to create Halloween costumes for their Sphero robots. Costumes will be showcased in a Halloween parade where students will code
Students will compare and contrast homes and technology from 50 years ago to the present day. Students will design a SMART home gadget that can be implemented into SMART homes of the future.
A coding activity for the STEM teacher that has to participate in Literacy Night at school! This activity/lesson will introduce students to coding as a fundamental element of literacy and ties in well
In this lesson students will combine their understanding of art and engineering to create their own twist on the famous Jeff Koons balloon sculptures. The students will then write an Artist statement
Students will discover the many different facets of building a business including product research, marketing, finances, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.
Students will be paired up, or a group of three if one odd number, and create a Mom and Dad creature with Dominant and Recessive Traits that get passed on to two offspring through the flipping of a
Students will use the engineering design process to complete 3 challenges. Each challenge gathers data and collects their engineering changes necessary to complete the challenge.
Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases
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
This lesson teaches graphing in a variety of ways and looks at how data can be made misleading. Students will begin with a story and creating a behavior over time graph. Then they will engage with the
Day 2 of this lesson plan for 1st-grade students plays a crucial role in bridging theoretical understanding with hands-on experience. It deepens students' knowledge of pollination, emphasizing the
In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot and collaboratively solve addition problems using critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They will then become detectives to solve the
In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot. They will collaborate with their peers and use problem-solving skills and critical thinking to learn about coding and how to create an
Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also
This lesson is used to introduce our unit on Energy in a 9th grade physics course; however, it can be adapted to various grade levels and contents. It can be completed over 1–3 days, depending on your
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
The students will create an interactive diorama using the Hummingbird Robotics kit on Natural Disasters. The students will choose their Natural Disaster that they want to bring to life, complete a

This outstanding multi-day lesson covers the anatomical design of the respiratory system. Students will work on a basic model project to simulate breathing action and the diaphragm. They will also

This is a fun and engaging lesson where students work individually, or with a partner, to build a treehouse. Creativity and collaboration among students in my 4th grade STEAM Club were evident in the

Up, Up and Away! Creating a Glider
Students will learn the principles of flight while also incorporating the Engineer Design Process as they construct gliders using pressed Styrofoam. In this hands-on lesson, students read a book about
