Introduction to Robotic programming using the Wonder Cue robot with the blaster. Using Block coding or Javascript, teach the students to create a series of instructions that move the robot through a

In this lesson students will identify what groundwater flow is, how it affects our water shed and do a two part experiment tying all the information learned in the lesson into a hands-on experience.

Students will build an obstacle course for a robot to traverse using geometry concepts. They will build prisms & cylinders and calculate volume and surface area. Once their obstacle course is built

Students will calculate the better buy to fill a gardening cube with soil. They will need internet access and/or store ads. They will also need to have completed the volume of their gardening cube

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house from Sketchup to Graph. Materials: Oversized Graph

Students calculate the Pythagorean Theorem using the Grid Edison Robot Mat. They discover that the shortest distance is the straight line from point to point. The numbers obtained are then used to

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students will read the novel, "The Lion of Mars", design & launch paper rockets, and then design a sustainable Mars Colony inspired by the novel.

Students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes.

This lesson is an introduction to CAD, possibly leading up to 3D printing. The idea is to be familiar with CAD and more specifically the TinkerCAD application.
