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
This hands-on lesson engages students by having them give each other instructions to complete a task. They read about coding and code for a Sphero bot to navigate a course using math to calculate
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. Link to 1st lesson and helpful
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. Links to the 2nd lesson
In this engaging lesson, students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge. Link to view all lessons is included!
In this coding lesson, students explore how rearrangement of lines of code relates to sequences of geometrical transformations. Students use principles of coding to make a robot follow a series of
Studnets will be inspired to make a Lego Balloon car after listening and watching about lego cars. Students will be amazed as they engineer their very own Lego cars and making them move using a
This lesson is designed for students to explore the idea of natural selection using a popular food item: goldfish crackers! Students explore the idea that populations of organisms can be affected by
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.
Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math
In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
Students will learn how robots help complete repetitive tasks for humans. Robots use a series of steps that are programed into their circuits. It must be done systematically and include each step, in
Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating ELA, Math, and Computer Science. With prompting and support, students will be able to ask and answer questions about key details in a text
In this lesson, students will watch a video discussing how birds have different beaks depending on what they eat. Students will then have the opportunity to examine the differences in chickens and
In this hands-on lesson, students match a subitize card to the corresponding number using a Bee-Bot. Students may work in small groups of 2-4 to program an algorithm on the Bee-Bots. They will be able
Bee-Bot is ready for math! In this engaging lesson, students break apart numbers and make different combinations of numbers to make a whole number. Students will be using a Bee-Bot to code and show
This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step-by-step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring
Students get hands-on learning about 2D cross sections of 3D objects with this creative food lesson! From brownies to pickles, students will use food to describe what a cross section is of a 3D shape
In this hands-on lesson, students will use technology (or paper/ pencil) to create a monster using specific polygons. They will measure and describe their monster to a partner who will then re-create
Mad For Magnets is a lesson plan for K-4th grades. Scholars will learn about magnets, how they attract and repel, north and south poles to apply to the assigned challenge. Scholars will design and
Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence
Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots
