This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for

This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted 9 - 12, dual enrollment and AP Physics.

In this Engineering Design lesson, students use an inclined plane to create a safe and exciting zipline park for Zippy the Elf. This lesson reviews simple machines and has students explore the concept

Students will investigate the basics of a circuit by arranging the materials to make a lightbulb light up A digital product demonstrating student learning completes the lesson.

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

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.

Students will learn about hibernation and adapting to the winter cold. They will build shelters with different insulating materials so that their animals do not get cold. They will then do a gallery

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

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

The purpose of this lesson and laboratory exercise is for students to gain an understanding of chemical reactions and how they work. The students will have the opportunity to see a reaction between

Students read The 3 Little Javelinas and experiment with making adobe bricks dwellings. Students analyze temperature data and describe benefits and drawbacks to using adobe.

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.

In this lesson, students will continue to build on their knowledge of electric circuits by testing materials for conductivity. Students will use Makey Makeys and random supplies to generate a

In this lesson students use a pHet simulation to derive Ohm's law.

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

In this lesson, students are to use simple materials to create a structure that holds weight. It must be able to stand on its own. Students will first study and discuss gravity.

This hands on activity uses calorimetry to determine the calorie content of snack food. Different samples of snack foods are burned and the temperature change of surrounding water is measured. This

Students engage in the Engineering Design Process and e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.

In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.

Students have the opportunity to explore solar energy and the engineering process by creating solar ovens. This lesson integrates communication skills, the engineering process, data collection, and

This lesson walks students through the movement of air in the atmosphere and the energy that drives it. It contains a PowerPoint, activity, worksheet and assessment.

In this lesson, students explore the foundational concepts of electricity, delving into Ohm's Law and the principles of electric power. Through a series of engaging theoretical and practical exercises

Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.

This lesson plan will equip the students with the basic understanding of the forms of electromagnetic waves. It also includes a hands-on activity on assessing EMF radiation levels in classrooms that
