This lesson allows students to work in teams to determine the specific function of an organelle in the cell. Rather than having students try and memorize the function of each organelle, the focus is

In this hands-on lesson, students match a subitize card to the corresponding number using a Bee-Bot. Students may work in small groups of 2-4 to program an algorithm on the Bee-Bots. They will be able

In this engaging lesson, students will program a Bee-Bot and answer prompts that describe familiar topics, likes, dislikes and family members. This is a beginning of the year activity. Students will

In this hands-on lesson, students program a Bee-Bot and name the student, teacher, principal, or important places at your school. This is a beginning of the year activity. Students will be coding a

Bee-Bot is ready for math! In this engaging lesson, students break apart numbers and make different combinations of numbers to make a whole number. Students will be using a Bee-Bot to code and show

In this lesson, students will design and test solutions to protect their homes during monsoon flooding. They will discuss flooding in Arizona and then research ways to protect their homes. Students

This lesson will allow students to learn more about 3D printing design and the engineering process. Students will brainstorm different needs in their community and people who could benefit from

Students will identify a problem, time-telling, and use it to create sundials. They will conduct an experiment and use the data to show how the sun moves in relation to the Earth in the sky. After

This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by avoiding their predators. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able to

Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by finding the sources of food. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able

This lesson, which is a follow up to the lesson about heating, asks students to observe the properties of objects after they have been heated and cooled to draw conclusions about the effects of

Students are introduced to a project that asks them to use classroom materials to create a new form of vision technology. Students review how the eye works, create a plan, and share that plan with

Students after learning how to use EDBlocks and EDScratch programming for Edison Robots will go to a younger class and teach those students how to do it too.

In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the

In this lesson, students observe the changes in states of matter caused by heat, or the lack in changes in some objects. Students relate this to the Driving Question of what happened to the Niagara

Your job is to build an aqueduct that will supply the Roman cities with clean water to private homes, public baths and glorious fountains. With this success, the citizens will drink clean water
