Students will explore beginning coding thru binary coding and creating a name bracelet.
Students will learn and recall about the different parts and components of an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. Students will be able to program an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express
This lesson is designed around competition. Competition is a driving force behind natural selection. If something can survive to reproduce, the traits are passed on. Students will be completing
Part one of a four part project exploring the movement of the brain upon impact in everyday activities. This lesson uses Pocketlab Voyager sensors to analyze brain movement in high impact activities
In this lesson students learn about how to generate power from wind turbines. Students test the efficacy of their creations and attempt to modify their turbines for better output. Depending on skill
Volcanoes: Studying Viscosity of Lava & Magma and how it relates to The San Francisco Volcanic Field
This lesson allows students to explore why volcanoes are shaped differently and why they erupt differently. Students will investigate viscosity, silica content of igneous rock samples, and perform
Students will explore how gravity plays a role in orbits and the attraction between objects in space, using online simulations. In addition to the online simulations this lesson contains ideas for
This lesson is intended to teach students about how mass and unbalanced forces affect the motion of objects (inertia) and Newton's First Law of motion. Students will have student-to-student
The lesson helps students investigate the purpose of conductors and insulators in various practical applications. The first part of the lesson is to introduce vocabulary and explain its relationship
This lesson is simple lesson plan for 4th grade students. It will challenge students to investigate and demonstrate that electricity is a flow of electrons around the circuit. This lesson will be 50
In this lesson plan, students will be able to build a simple electric motor and study how simple changes affect the motor's rotation. They will learn how energy comes in many forms, and how electric
In this lesson plan, students will be able to investigate battery cells as they construct their own simple batteries: They will know that batteries are a common store of energy for many devices that
Students will be able to collaboratively build, and program a simple robot using Lego Spike Prime kits. Students will demonstrate basic skills in robotics and coding by successfully constructing their
By the end of this lesson, students will understand the unique adaptations of desert tortoises and the importance of conserving their habitat. Students also engineer a habitat for the desert tortoise.
Students will be exploring the different structure and functions of both plants and animals. After some researching and hands on activities students will create a glider inspired by a bird of their
As a follow up to the lesson The Stories Shadows Tell, students engage with an informational text to understand the relationship between the position of the sun (East vs West) the time of the day, and
In this lesson, students will learn about Wilson Bentley, the "farmer scientist" who pioneered photomicrography to photograph snowflakes and share them with the world. Students will then design and
Students will use science skills to engineer habitats for polar regions as they learn about the polar regions through hands on experiences.
Today students will continue their studies of simple block programming with the use of the Edison robot. Students will start using the barcode and then transition into block coding using Edscratch
Students in 4th grade learned about natural disasters through this interactive STEM lesson focused on the creation on a 'tsunami-proof' home. Students used the Engineering Design Process to create a
Launch into a fun activity! Students will be building a rocket, then blow into the straw inserted and watch how high their rocket flies. This fun activity can be done indoor or outdoor. Students can
Students will gain an appreciation of M.C. Escher's tessellation artwork and process and be inspired to create their own tessellation.This lesson combines math, art and technology by using an
