Students will learn about the light sensor on the Circuit Playground Express and how it can be used as an automatic switch to turn a device on or off. They will learn about the thermometer sensor on
Students will learn and recall about the different parts and components of an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. Students will be able to program an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express
This lesson is designed around competition. Competition is a driving force behind natural selection. If something can survive to reproduce, the traits are passed on. Students will be completing
Students will use the Sphero bots to collect and graph data to make a prediction.
Students will explore how gravity plays a role in orbits and the attraction between objects in space, using online simulations. In addition to the online simulations this lesson contains ideas for
As a follow up to the lesson The Stories Shadows Tell, students engage with an informational text to understand the relationship between the position of the sun (East vs West) the time of the day, and
Students design and create a sculpture out of recycled materials and then calculate the surface area and volume of the sculpture that they created. They will then utilize the surface area to try and
In this engaging lesson, students explore the concept of position (Hayu') vs. time (nkez) graphs through a hands-on car motion (Buggy) activity. Using the Buggy on a marked track, students measure and
In this lesson, students will learn about Wilson Bentley, the "farmer scientist" who pioneered photomicrography to photograph snowflakes and share them with the world. Students will then design and
Students will gain an appreciation of M.C. Escher's tessellation artwork and process and be inspired to create their own tessellation.This lesson combines math, art and technology by using an
In this lesson series, students will explore the process of photosynthesis by collecting data through measurements. Student previously engaged with an experimental lab setup for gas collection, and
In this unit, students will use their knowledge of weather and climate patterns to construct, place, and collect data from a rain gauge for one month. The beginning of the school year would be the
Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.
This is an introductory activity to reaction kinetics at an AP Chemistry level. Students use model kits or Legos in an activity that allows them to model how changing the concentration of reactants in
In this lab, we will be completing a set of tasks that will help us develop a better understanding of the formation and parts of both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Engineers create and use new materials, as well as new combinations of existing materials to design innovative new products and technologies—all based upon the chemical and physical properties of
Students will use the Sphero Indi's to navigate across the table or floor using the colored tiles. Students will learn basic sequencing and pattern recognition based off the different colored pads
Using the Sphero Bolts/Sparks to joust as a Medieval Knight. Students will understand the basics of Sphero Bolt and its programming environment.
This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to develop a safe community for refugees and countries in crisis. Throughout the unit, you will
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
After learning about emission spectra, electron energy levels, orbitals and configurations, and periodic trends for atomic radius and ionization energy; this is concluding activity that require
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
Students are learning to construct a tetrahedron kite using basic materials, understand geometric concepts related to the tetrahedron shape, and learn about basic principles of aerodynamics.
Students create a city and a plan for a route fro Thanksgiving parade with floats coded by robots. The students build the buildings along the parade route using area or addition/subtraction houses
