This hands-on and engaging lesson followed a unit on the Gingerbread Man. Students were challenged to build a bridge to get the Gingerbread Man safely across the body of water, so he doesn't get eaten
This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable
This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that
As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.
This lesson shows how matter can be subdivided into particles too small to be seen by creating ice cream in a bag from measured ingredients.
Students will continue from their research and start an investigation to help with their solution. They will first learn about compost and what it does. They will then develop and investigation and
In this investigation students will explore how vibrating matter creates sound and how sound can make matter vibrate.
In this lesson on "Friction Fires and Its Associated Phenomena" the objectives are as follows: Students will be able to explain the process of friction fire, including the materials and techniques
This lesson is the first of two about vermicomposting. It explains what vermicomposting is and how to start a worm bin. The second lesson will discuss harvesting compost and moving worms to a garden
In 5th grade Social Studies we learn about the American Revolution and study evidence of Espionage used by the Patriots to win the Revolution. Prior to the activity students will read a variety of
Students use color theory, write recipes, and use an iterative design process to create a natural dye.
Students examine the relationship between a ball's bounce height and its drop height to see a linear relationship. They then calculate the slope of their data to compare "bounciness" with other groups
Students think about dipping a cube in paint, then count the amount of faces that are painted (either 1, 2, 3, or none) they then make a table with the data and are asked to find any patterns they may
Students will construct paper bridges with pennies acting as weight to see the proportionality between the amount of pennies it takes to collapse the bridge. Students graph their results to see a
This lesson plan provides material for two 90-minute periods. Day one provides guided opportunities to explore chemical equations and day two consists of 10 hands-on stations practicing and applying
Students will be reading an article and answering questions on Solar Panels to help them complete their model of how the solar panel converts the sun's energy into electricity,.
It is a lesson that is based on Mathematical computation and Project based learning. Students have to find the proportional relationship between the surface area of the house and the paint to be used
In this lesson students will be able to make their own slime using chemistry and chemical reactions then use their slime as a model for fractions while reading a short story called, "Slimey is Half."
In this lesson, teams of 3-4 students will design and create scale models of four landforms that they chose. This lesson takes place in a classroom for 60 minutes, with an emphasis on the target
This lesson allows students to explore and build a tangible understanding of how and why changing side lengths impacts the overall volume of a rectangular prism. Students will explore how ratio
Students will be learning about the Fibonacci mathematical design pattern. They will learn about the 3 different mathematical Fibonacci sequence designs, vocabulary, and creating their own art
This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture
In the lesson plan, students will embark on an exciting engineering challenge as they construct and program their own robot rovers to strategize a mission to the Moon. Throughout the lesson, students
