Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also
In this lesson, you'll witness the sparkle in your student's eyes as they become Candytopia explorers and chemists, making observations, grouping candies, and creating their own Candy Periodic Table
This lesson incorporates science, math and writing. Students will get to make and taste grilled cheeses and determine what ingredients and what methods they think will make the best grilled cheese
This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and
Students will read the original version of The Three Little Pigs and then explore different versions of the story. After exploring, they will complete a compare & contrast chart on two or three of the
Students will read and explore the idea of leprechauns and traps. Then, using the Engineering Design Process students will have to build a leprechaun trap.
Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will: Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans Build
Today we will learn how ice cream is made and then make some ourselves. To do this we will: Listen to an informational text describing how ice cream made and compare that information with our prior
Students will use the engineering design process to plan and build a robot using recyclable materials and identify geometric shapes in the robot.They will also use tally marks to keep track of the
Today we will make new crayons from old and broken crayons. To do this we will: listen to an informational text describing how crayons are made. make a solar oven. describe the steps we take to make
Students will select one building from their master-planned community to construct a 3D model that absorbs/releases 8% less than the surrounding testing environment.
This STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the differences between substances (in the solid, liquid, and gas states), and energy transfer. It is intended to last
Lesson 2 of 4 Students will investigate and research key factors that impact urban heat islands. Equipped with evidence, students will draft a scaled drawing of a master-planned community applying
This lesson uses knowledge gained in parts 1 and 2 of this lesson. This lesson can be done independently if you do not have the other materials. Students will use many types of Snap Circuit sets to
This lesson includes slides sharing an introduction to 3D printing and how it works. Students will then research ways 3D printing is used in the real world.
Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and
In this lesson students will demonstrate their deeper understanding of how the concept of slope is applied to the real-world construction of the wheelchair access ramp. Students will use the knowledge
This hands-on and engaging lesson followed a unit on the Gingerbread Man. Students were challenged to build a bridge to get the Gingerbread Man safely across the body of water, so he doesn't get eaten
This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable
This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that
As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.
Students will learn about the four types of seismic waves during an earthquake. Students will then use that information to design a house that can absorb a majority of the seismic waves, limiting the
This is a series of lessons where students will observe natural activities in the garden for five days. From the observation, they will identify the factors that have high probability of causing
In this lesson, students will participate in a hands-on activity to learn about area and perimeter while also learning about structures and functions of plants by designing a garden space that
