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
In this hands-on lesson, students will conduct an experiment measuring and comparing temperatures using an IR Temperature gun around the classroom.
Students need to learn basic internet safety, which starts with developing strong login and site passwords before doing any research on the internet. Creating and managing strong, secure passwords is
This lesson provides context for the 6th grade physical science standards dealing with matter. It enables students to anchor their learning in real world issues as they combine data literacy and art
In this lesson, students use real-world data to explore criteria for air pollutants. If students continue to the next lesson in this series, they create data-based art to deepen and demonstrate their
In this lesson, students explore gravitational potential energy changes with the mass of an object and the height from which it is dropped. Students record the drop in slow motion to capture the
This lesson is about exploring Arizona's state bird, the cactus wren, that lives in the desert, has special body parts and behaviors that help it survive in its harsh environment. Students will learn
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
Students will create a "football" to practice kicking accuracy. They will collect data and create a graph showing their results. After students will learn about a kickers role in the NFL, what a field
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data
This is a continuation lesson in which we compare student data to the previous day's data using GeoGebra to help us generate dot plots and calculate statistics.
Students will create dot plots (both physically and using technology) to represent class data, determine important statistics, and interpret those statistics in context.
This is the part one of the composting lesson that is aligned to the ELA standards of narrative reading and writing. In this lesson, students build their experiences by preparing the bucket composters
