This lesson is day 3 of a 3-day plan. Students use outside resources to modify and test helmet effectiveness with pocketlab sensors. In this hands-on lesson, students will create a prototype and run
Students will learn the principles of flight while also incorporating the Engineer Design Process as they construct gliders using pressed Styrofoam. In this hands-on lesson, students read a book about
In this engaging lesson, students will develop an understanding of how solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy. They will investigate factors affecting the amount of electricity generated
Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be
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.
This thematic unit has four lessons which will introduce students to phenomena we encounter in the real world. Students will learn about high interest phenomenon’s through hands-on investigations

This hands-on lesson digs deeper into the study of weathering and erosion. It should be taught after students have an understanding of the sun’s energy and some of the ways it impacts the Earth. The
What does polarized light mean? How can some light waves be blocked while other light waves are transmitted? This lesson plan explores the phenomenon of polarized light and how light waves interact
How do light rays reflect and refract? Does light travel at different speeds in different mediums? This lesson reviews how light waves can be reflected and refracted, and how light waves can change
In this hands-on lesson, students will conduct an experiment measuring and comparing temperatures using an IR Temperature gun around the classroom.
This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that
In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the
In this engaging lesson, students will connect the path of a straw rock to the arc of a parabola. By changing the angle of the launcher, they will discover the relationship between distance and height
Students will dive into the world of three-dimensional structures, shapes, and basic engineering principles through this hands-on lesson using Magna Tiles.
