In this lesson, students apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law and describe the amount of current that flows through and the amount of voltage across a parallel circuit. They do these by exploring the
This lesson allows students to describe the amount of current and voltage, and apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law in a series circuits. They do this by using the PhET Constructing Circuits Kit: DC and
This lesson allows students to investigate the relationships between current, voltage, and resistance using an Arduino board and electronic components, and through the PhET simulation: Circuit
You are a computer programmer giving a computer step by step instructions. You will be programing a code giving the computer simple commands to be carried out by the computer. You are completing a
This lesson will help the students to identify methods to Analyze, Describe and Demonstrate a data set of their choice. In this lesson, we are using a digital evolution software called Avida, created
Understanding and studying energy transfer produced by molecules collisions can be difficult and abstract for them. To make it easier for them to visualize, creating a Newton's Cradle will help them
Exploring chemical reactions is highly engaging for the students if taught in a student-centered lesson. This lesson was inspired by the activity of 6th-Grade Amplify Science, Exploring Chemical
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power
This is the 3rd part of a 4 part lesson series where students will determine the thrust and stability of their water bottle rockets to answer their essential question: Using the Design Process how can
Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare
Students will learn about the history of the National Parks Service and the different biomes and environments within the United States. Then, they will choose a National Park to research and present a
This STEM lesson focuses on technology and engineering. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for groups of 3-4, it could be used for a
