This lesson plan is designed for students to investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The lesson starts with a phenomena video and hypothesis question. It is followed by a

Students investigate options for covering a unique shaped pool with circular solar pool covers. This lesson includes using a scaled drawing to create calculations and creating a proposal.

Students will design a keychain in Tinkercad, strengthening their understanding of metric units and design, while also using the following mathematical vocabulary: volume, prism, cylinder, millimeters

Students will conduct a lab activity to gather information about how the heart rate can be affected by rest and by exercising. They will learn how to calculate their own target heart rates using a

This STEM activity is designed to explore force, motion, friction, and speed with a student-friendly and engaging activity. Students will plan and create a marble maze using simple materials. Material

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

What is the life cycle of a butterfly? How do butterflies use their wings? Answers to these questions and more are in this engaging lesson. The challenge for the students is to create a butterfly

In this hands-on lesson, students code Edison robots to run races and play tug of war. They will run experiments, measure results, and graph the data. Videos and additional resources are included!

In this engaging lesson, students explore the forces of flight and use the Engineering Design Process to improve the flight times and distance traveled with a paper airplane. Resources are included

Students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts of balanced and unbalanced forces in this lesson. They will be able to identify the effects that balanced and unbalanced forces have on the motion

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a paper windmill. They put it to the test by using a fan to see how their fan holds up to the wind. This is a great way to cover science, engineering

This lesson starts by discussing/learning what is matter, the states of matter, and the properties of matter. It continues with what is mass and how to measure it. Two labs follow: density of solids
