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
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
Explore Coal Mine Canyon's wonders! Watch a documentary, read about geology, draw the canyon, and use tech to learn about geological layers. Fun, interactive learning awaits!
Students will be able to obtain, evaluate, and communicate evidence about how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations. Additionally, they will be able to
This lesson plan has three main objectives. The first is that students will be able to recreate a map of the canal with 3D structures along the way. The largest structure being Casa Grande, or the
DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the molecule of life. DNA exists in every single organism, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal, and is the only known molecule that has the ability to
Students learn about kinetic and potential energy using cardboard cars and catapults, including the science and math concepts behind them, as they prepare for the associated activity in which they
This is a multi-day lesson on the lifecycle of a pumpkin starting with how long it takes for pumpkin seeds to produce a sprout. There is also an art element using geometric shapes to introduce the
In this project, students will create a professional blueprint of their real-life home. Students will then do research to find at least ten places in the home that impact the environment (positive or
Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process to create a Valentine's Day mailbox to collect Valentine cards in the classroom. Designs will include a theme, geometry examples (angles
Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process Steps to design the bedroom of their dreams. Students will use mathematics (perimeter, measurement, area) when constructing their Dream
Students will understand the basic concepts of magnets and magnetic interactions. Students will be able to apply their knowledge to create and solve simple design problems using Magna-Tiles. Students
Understand geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. Apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
A coding activity for the STEM teacher that has to participate in Literacy Night at school! This activity/lesson will introduce students to coding as a fundamental element of literacy and ties in well
Students will be paired up, or a group of three if one odd number, and create a Mom and Dad creature with Dominant and Recessive Traits that get passed on to two offspring through the flipping of a
Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students
In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance
For this lesson students will be exploring/applying the concept of equations of circles. The teacher will place a giant graph in the room and students will make a circular art design to put on the
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
Students will learn how fingerprints are used to solve crimes. Students will then take their own prints, examine patterns within their prints, and compare/contrast the percentages for each type of
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
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
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.
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
