This lesson is a 7th-grade STEM lesson with Arizona science standards. Students will be exposed to different forms of energy with sustainability concepts built into the lesson. Encourages students to
This lesson allows students to explore and build a tangible understanding of how and why changing side lengths impacts the overall volume of a rectangular prism. Students will explore how ratio
What is a geometric shape? Observe and discuss a variety of geometric shapes. Similar/different? Mathematical geometry vocabulary/activities with shapes Engineering a geometric playground Share or
This lesson will implement chain reactions and simple machines into a Rube Goldberg invention. Students will learn about the Rube Goldberg and his crazy inventions. They will then create their own
Students will be learning about the Fibonacci mathematical design pattern. They will learn about the 3 different mathematical Fibonacci sequence designs, vocabulary, and creating their own art
This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture
The basics of natural selection will be highlighted using the Natural Selection PhET simulation where students complete a series of challenges. As a result of this experience, students will be able to
The basics of natural selection will be highlighted using the Natural Selection PhET simulation where students complete a series of challenges. As a result of this experience, students will be able to
This Lesson demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After
In the lesson, students will be able to build and explore how fractional edge lengths impact the overall volume of a figure. Students will gain a tangible understanding of how fractional edges impact
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
In this lesson, students will build irregular figures using Magna-Tiles. Students will collaborate, discuss, and debate with peers to find multiple ways to calculate the volume and surface areas of
In groups, students build models of volumes and surface areas with Magna-Tiles and learn to distinguish and verbalize the difference between these two mathematical concepts. Students then use the 3
The lesson engages students by having them give each other instructions to complete a task and then has them read about coding and end with having the student code for a Sphero bot to navigate a
This is the second part of a fun introduction to engineering. In this lesson, students will create a board game with recycled materials based on a story they have made.
This is the first part a fun beginning introduction to engineering. In this lesson, students will create a board game with recycled material based on a story they have made.
Students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge.
Students work in groups of 2-3 and use Bee-Bot robots to practice using a map key and symbol cards to program the Bee-Bot to find locations on a map. Students program, test, and modify their algorithm
Students explore how rearrangement of lines of code relates to sequences of geometrical transformations.
Design robot cars that can park themselves safely without driver intervention. This can be done with LEGO EV3 or Spike Prime robots. Also possible with other robots, but instructions are not included.
You are a computer programmer giving a computer step by step instructions. You will be programing a code giving the computer simple commands to be carried out by the computer. You are completing a
Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
Students start to build 3d models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power
