This lesson is on density of solids. It's one lesson of two. This lesson should be first since it introduces density but it can be revised and used after the density of liquids. The lesson has a short
Students learn about kinetic and potential energy using cardboard cars and catapults, including the science and math concepts behind them, as they prepare for the associated activity in which they
In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and
In this project, students will create a professional blueprint of their real-life home. Students will then do research to find at least ten places in the home that impact the environment (positive or
Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process to create a Valentine's Day mailbox to collect Valentine cards in the classroom. Designs will include a theme, geometry examples (angles
Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process Steps to design the bedroom of their dreams. Students will use mathematics (perimeter, measurement, area) when constructing their Dream
This is a density lab involving hot and cold water layering, salt density layers, and a PHET online lab simulation.
Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases
This lesson could be a Part II for the 3D modeling atomic theory lesson using Tinkercad, or this lesson can be delivered independently. In this lesson students fill out an atomic theory timeline and
Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline
Making a wave machine to learn about the parts of the wave. This is the foundational learning piece before heading into the seismic building challenge.
In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot. They will collaborate with their peers and use problem-solving skills and critical thinking to learn about coding and how to create an
Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students
Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also
In this lesson, you'll witness the sparkle in your student's eyes as they become Candytopia explorers and chemists, making observations, grouping candies, and creating their own Candy Periodic Table
Lesson Description: In this first-grade lesson, we will learn about the amazing world of spiders! We'll start by exploring the life cycle of a spider, from when it hatches to how it grows and changes
This lesson incorporates science, math and writing. Students will get to make and taste grilled cheeses and determine what ingredients and what methods they think will make the best grilled cheese
This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and
Students will read the original version of The Three Little Pigs and then explore different versions of the story. After exploring, they will complete a compare & contrast chart on two or three of the
Students will read and explore the idea of leprechauns and traps. Then, using the Engineering Design Process students will have to build a leprechaun trap.
Students will use the Engineering Design Process to plan and create the longest chain. Then they will use tools to measure their chains.
