In this hands-on engineering and science project, students will become earthquake engineers tasked with designing and constructing earthquake-proof structures using toothpicks and mini marshmallows
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data
First students will research information to describe climates in different regions of the world. Then students will design a prototype of different tools used in understanding climate.
This epic road trip is an end-of-year project where students are given the opportunity to reflect on their learning and select 6 unique stops in Arizona that a tourist should visit. Students are led
This is a fun unit that will discuss drones and building an obstacle course created by students to fly the drones through.
In this multi-day lesson students will learn about prosthetics, design and build a model of a prosthetic limb, research prosthetics today and then have a Socratic Seminar to both share and debate
This lesson plan helps students understand exponential functions by using an LED circuit. LED luminosity decreases at an exponential rate as more are added in series. As students add more lights to
This lesson allows robotics students to redesign a working floor vacuum and design it to fit the needs of a robotics lab - it should be able to pick up heavier and larger objects or loose parts off
This lesson explores the concept of density. Students will observe a phenomenon involving floating and sinking. They will design their own investigations and they will learn how to use the density
This lesson is a 6-14 day unit consisting of 30 minute lessons taking students through the introduction of energy flow from the sun through the food chain. The lessons culminate with students showing
In this lesson designed for 7th grade, students will explore increasing and decreasing magnetic field of electromagnets by changing the iron core, wire gauge, or wire coils to determine which variable
Students will understand the concept of levers as simple machines and will identify and classify everyday objects as levers. Students will apply basic mathematical concepts to measure and compare the
Students read the story "Just a Second" to introduce students to geologic time. Next, they are given an activity to understand how long is 4.6 billion years. Then students complete a lab that allows
After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to
This is the part 2 of composting lesson aligned to narrative writing. In this lesson, students embark in the experience of observing the decomposition process of the materials, identifying the factors
This is the part one of the composting lesson that is aligned to the ELA standards of narrative reading and writing. In this lesson, students build their experiences by preparing the bucket composters
This four lesson unit helps students explore the steps involved in the initial building of a new school: selecting a site based on the boundary and size of the land and then explores light energy and
Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.
This lesson was developed to spark student interest with a game component while learning to use the features in productivity applications and Canva. The focus is on learning the applications and
Structured activities to support learning up Quantum Model as improvement over traditional "solar system" atomic model, or Bohr's atomic model. Students learn to relate Quantum numbers to describe
Students learn about the chemistry that exists in some of the world's oldest surviving paintings. This lesson is the final part of a 3 part painting series, and focuses on binding agents in paint
Kindergarten students develop an understanding that the world is comprised of living and non-living things. They investigate the relationship between structure and function in living things; plants
Students will be able to recognize that living things are made up of parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to
This lesson was developed to spark student interest with a game component while learning to use the features in productivity applications. The focus is on learning the applications and process of game
