Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.
A 4-8 grade STEM lesson 4 of 4 skills improvement and evaluation. Career outlook for UAV/Drone Pilots, paths to becoming a commercial drone pilot. A review of flight dynamics, and the steps that had
Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic
GROWING CRYSTALS PART 1, A lesson that focuses on the different types of formation of crystalline solid, its properties and the attractive forces responsible to it during chemical bonding. It is
This lesson plan describes the different process points of construction of a Truss Bridge and why these bridges are useful. This lesson plan includes objectives, assessments and some samples of Truss
This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks
This is a detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in
This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
Simple Machine: Pulley, helping Rapunzel escape the tower
Using pumpkins, design and create Cinderella's carriage. This lesson can demonstrate Potential Energy turning into Kinetic Energy
What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along
Students will observe and investigate the shapes of bubbles. They will then create their own wand in a different shape to see if bubbles are always round or if they can create a different shape.
Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They
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. This hands-on lesson is scheduled to take around 15
Students will construct a straw rocket launcher that utilizes air pressure as the force to push the rocket through the air. A STEM journal will guide them through planning an investigation. Students
In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how
Students design and test a device for an egg drop in this engaging and hands-on lesson. They will document their data, make modifications to designs, and assess what the outcome is of their own drop
Students design and build air powered gliders in this engaging lesson. This is a fun way to teach and apply principles of force as they apply to flight including lift, gravity, thrust, and drag
Aerospace to Sports explores the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls. Students learn about how the industry employs engineering
Students will set off and observe Wack-a-Pack. Then students will create their own version using Alka Seltzer tabs, water, balloons, and Ziploc bags. They will explore effects of pressure on
Bridge Design Challenge For this design challenge, each group will build a bridge out of 200 popsicle sticks and 1 bottle of Elmer’s glue. The bridge will span a 12 inch gap between tables. After the
Students will test the relationships between mass, speed, and kinetic energy using a toy skateboard.
