This is a week-long unit which includes the following lesson objectives: -Explain that a watershed is an area that collects water and delivers it to a specific area like a lake or an ocean. -Show how
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."
The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to
This is an activity to enhance student understanding and comfort with taking photographs, editing them, providing feedback on them, and submitting them for display. Students use a camera device (iPad
In the final part of A Light in the Dark (pt. 3 of 3), students create their solution to the problem based on their chosen theme. Students present their final solutions to be evaluated.
In this continuation of A Light in the Dark (pt. 2 of 3), students research their questions and consolidate their learning, then determine their next steps in the process to solve the problem.
This lesson introduces the unit exploring light pollution and possible solutions students can create. Students will explore what light pollution is. Students will determine next steps in the process.
This lesson intends to expand the student's knowledge of electricity through an exciting hands-on experiment. "The Amazing Power of Fruits allows the students to collaborate as a team and demonstrate
Hydroponics in the Classroom This lesson is divided into three parts introduction, exploration and reflection/making connection. The first part is discussing and providing ideas to students about
A 6th grade ELA lesson using a novel study of “My Side of The Mountain” to teach and master summary and theme. This lesson plan series uses Technology, Engineering and English Language Arts concepts

Students will understand the significance of handwashing, be familiar with the proper handwashing techniques, and recognize the positive impact it has on personal and public health; Students will
Students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge.
Students explore different types of bridges and then practice building them with K'Nex sets.
Students explore designing bridge prototypes with spaghetti to find weak points and redesign a new prototype.
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.
Students will engineer their very own Lego Planter by using legos and lego bases. First they will listen to a story about planting and what planter are.
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.
Understanding and studying energy transfer produced by molecules collisions can be difficult and abstract for them. To make it easier for them to visualize, creating a Newton's Cradle will help them
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
Students will learn about catapults and will design a catapult to help Sir Gus defend the castle.
