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
In the captivating lesson, "Dive into the World of Atoms," sixth-grade students embark on a journey into the microscopic realm to discover the fundamental building blocks of matter. The class kicks
Using my backyard chickens as inspiration, this 5th grade lesson asks children to graph egg production and build a model of a chicken coop and run.
Lesson plan integrating Arizona Science and ELA standards for comparing and researching animal cells and plant cells, followed by a creative video project where students personify the parts of a
This lesson uses common foods to study the chemical compounds found in foods, both natural and synthetic.
Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a
Students will survey the area around their school for Buffelgrass.
Students will compare Eind vs. Solar by using two kits from Thames & Kosmos.
Students use a 2-D physics sandbox, called Algodoo, to simulate the factors that might affect the period of a circular orbit of a planet about a star. Students develop Kepler's 3rd Law conceptually by
Creating a photosynthesis model out of clay or play-doh and making a video/podcast as an expert panel to provide information and discussionm.
In this 3 day lesson plan, students will discover the relationships between the sun, earth, moon, solar/lunar eclipses and the tides.
Students will investigate the geological features of the Santa Catalinas. Specifically the phenomenon of Catalina Gneiss. Students will research the formation of the Tucson basin and Santa Catalinas
Create potential for masses or charges. Students get to create 3D models of these potential and gain a deeper qualitative representation of why masses or charge move towards lowest potential.
This project allows students to research and "sell" the Sharks and their competitors on their energy or fuel source. A strong emphasis on research is embedded with the ability to interject with daily
In this lab students will observe how five different ice cubes react while melting. Each ice cube is made of a different liquid (matter). They will then collect their data on length, height, and
Using The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as provocation, students will develop a project integrating math, science, engineering and ELA standards. Students will build a robot prototype and take it through
This set of lessons allows students to model the decay chains of radioactive isotopes and relate the mathematical patterns and scientific concepts together in a innovative and interactive way.
This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar
A middle school STEM lesson using art to introduce slope.
This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life
Get ready for the opportunity to experience the life of a scribe in 2000 B.C.E. During this productivity lab and inquiry, students explore how new knowledge and new technology can impact a workers
This lesson will help students learn how to code on micro:bits and create on this mini coding board. Students do not need the physical micro:bit to complete this lesson. On the website, there is a
Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this
The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform
