This engaging lesson is the 2nd lesson in a series of 2 focused on data science inquiry. Students use their My Data Portraits from Lesson 1 for data collection, analysis, presentation, reflection and

This is lesson can be used alone to introduce the engineering design process. This lesson is 1 of 2 in an Engineering and Sustainable Design Unit focused on sustainability and sports. Students learn

This is about a one hour lesson where students work in small groups of 2-4 to get their robot around their table using estimation of centimeters. Students will write a program in Blockly that gets the

How can we design and engineer sports venues of the future that practice sustainability? According to the Green Sports Alliance, 17% of the world's population follows science but about 80% follow

This is a multiple-day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will

This lesson allows students to explore the Law of Conservation of Mass through a balloon lab activity using baking soda and vinegar. Students will be able to develop a model to describe their findings

Students will become a DESIGN TEAM. The team will be using the 4 C’s and the steps of the Design Process to produce an item for a chosen client. Students will focus on empathy to decide on components

This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This lesson must follow Microbial Serial Dilutions. You can also use this lesson to screen for

In this hands-on lesson, students will have a teacher read aloud: "Rosie Revere, Engineer" and discuss the importance of perseverance and imagination while creating, building, and testing. They will
