This Lesson Plan demonstrates how sound waves work. It also helps kids work with their peers and expand their understanding of how sound waves can cause vibrations which can cause matter to move
Mixtures and Solutions: Students investigate how various mixtures can be separated. While making a mixture of salt and water, connections are made to global water supplies and the amount of fresh and
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
2nd grade students will work collaboratively to describe, illustrate, and communicate their understanding of the states of matter involving liquids, solids, and gases. The lesson includes extension
Day 2 - The students are then challenged to design controlled experiments to identify the substances responsible for the observed chemical and physical changes.
Day 1 - The purpose of this inquiry-based demonstration is to have students make observations about the changes that occur when several substances are mixed.
Students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge.
Design robot cars that can park themselves safely without driver intervention. This can be done with LEGO EV3 or Spike Prime robots. Also possible with other robots, but instructions are not included.
Assign your students elements from the periodic table and have them create tiles for their element(s). Once all the tiles are complete, you will have a unique periodic table for your classroom! While
In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
Students start to build 3d models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.
Exploring chemical reactions is highly engaging for the students if taught in a student-centered lesson. This lesson was inspired by the activity of 6th-Grade Amplify Science, Exploring Chemical
Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare
This lesson delves into Matter and why it matters. What makes it what and how we can change these substances.
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
Students will listen to a read aloud of Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Suess. Students will be able to create Oobleck slime and explore non-Newtonian fluid called a dilatant. Students will learn
In this lesson, students will construct a solar updraft tower. They will use heat lamps to warm the air inside the tower, resulting in the propeller spinning. This lesson helps students gain a better
This STEAM project will have us exploring some of the issues or problems associated with food and creating solutions to educate and persuade our community about how our food is produced and making the
In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
In this lesson, students will conduct an investigation to see how temperature can affect the state of matter.
In this lesson students will learn about the 3 types of matter and go on a matter scavenger hunt. After the scavenger hunt students will make graphs to show the different types of matter that they
Engage students in an interactive lesson exploring Brownian motion. Through hands-on experiments and discussions, they'll discover the random movement of particles and its applications in science and
Teaching with phenomena is a great way to connect real world events with inquiry based learning in the classroom. In this lesson students will observe and investigate a phenomenon that involves the
The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density
