When Res is hurling towards Mars he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars? Students will design a parachute using coffee

Students will learn about animals that are native to their area and design and engineer their own animal bridge to help a specific animal species of their choosing to cross the road safely.

Students will construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.

This is a lesson on measurement and problem solving. The king needs to find a birthday present for the queen, but what do you get for someone who has everything. He decides to build her a bed (before

In this lesson students will engineer a moveable trunk like the one Stella the elephant has in The One and Only Ivan.

Students will use the story The Mice Who Lived in a Shoe to design and build a new house for the mice. They will work collaboratively to complete this project. The house will have to protect the mice

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

In this lesson, students are introduced to a crime scene where they must work in groups and rotate through four stations to solve the murder of Geoffry Dormer. The stations include fingerprint

This STEM lesson focused on plant parts and plant growth. This correlates with AZ 4th grade standards. Students will read Seeds of Change, design a simple hydroponic system and plant seeds. Lesson

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

Electricity and magnetism are fundamental to the workings of nearly every gadget, appliance, vehicle, and machine we use. This great 6th Grade lesson covers magnetic fields where students will be able

Students will be asked to design and build a playground using the given materials construction paper, toilet paper/paper towel rolls, jumbo/regular popsicle sticks, and glue/tape. They will learn

Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard

Students will focus is on the historical time period of 1763- 1900 CE. The objective is to select a historically accurate person and research the person's story. Then students will plan, create
