In this lesson, students will: Identify inclined planes in our world; Discuss how inclined planes make work easier; Plan and construct a marble maze of their own design that uses inclined planes
In this lesson, students will: Identify pulleys in our world Discuss how pulleys make work easier Plan and construct an elevator of their own design that incorporates a pulley Provide and receive
This lesson serves as the introduction to an 8 lesson series or unit on simple machines. This series will present dozens of activities to introduce your students to simple machines, culminating in the
This is a junior high lesson on plant grafting that can be done in a classroom setting or with an after-school club such as botany. This lesson can be easily modified for any grade level. In this
Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.
Students will build a paper marble run out of recycled paper which maximizes the time of travel. Students will then analyze the run with energy diagrams (LOL) and determine how much energy was lost.
In this lab, we will be completing a set of tasks that will help us develop a better understanding of the formation and parts of both transverse and longitudinal waves.
Engineers create and use new materials, as well as new combinations of existing materials to design innovative new products and technologies—all based upon the chemical and physical properties of
This lesson, is one to make your students taste buds jump for joy as they get to create their very own edible eyeball cookie. This is a great STEM lesson to use when learning about the parts and
This lesson plan focuses on force and how it can be applied through the paper ball launcher. Students will build a launcher using the engineering design process and use the model to hit a target at
This is the 3rd lesson in a 4 part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will design and build a roller coaster that fits the criteria and follows a budget. Students will
This is the second lesson in a four part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will learn about friction and gravity. Students will test different materials to determine which
This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They
This lesson shows how to make an electric car using a small motor and battery. Students created a car, attached a battery and on/off switch, and collected data. The data collection sheet is included
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
The owl pellet dissection is an engaging lesson where students will be looking closely at regurgitated pellets and discovering energy transfer through the owl and their prey. Students will be creating
In the Kindergarten aerodynamics lesson, young learners embark on an imaginative journey into the world of flight. Through a captivating exploration of flying objects like kites, birds, and paper
Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.
Students are learning to construct a tetrahedron kite using basic materials, understand geometric concepts related to the tetrahedron shape, and learn about basic principles of aerodynamics.
Students create a reindeer to learn about force and see how far their reindeer can fly. They can track their distance and make improvements on their reindeer. Enrichments students can see how weight
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
In this third-grade lesson, students will make educated guesses about the "mystery object." Students will record what they notice and wonder about Mexican Jumping Beans. Students will create a game
This interactive 4th-grade lesson plan focuses on erosion and weathering, key concepts in understanding Earth's geology. In "Dynamic Earth," students use an interactive simulation to explore how
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
