Students will be paired up, or a group of three if one odd number, and create a Mom and Dad creature with Dominant and Recessive Traits that get passed on to two offspring through the flipping of a
Students will use the engineering design process to complete 3 challenges. Each challenge gathers data and collects their engineering changes necessary to complete the challenge.
Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases
This lesson could be a Part II for the 3D modeling atomic theory lesson using Tinkercad, or this lesson can be delivered independently. In this lesson students fill out an atomic theory timeline and
Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline
Students will use engineering skills, critical thinking, math and balance, and collaboration to build a home for a visiting Hedgehog. The materials are straws, string, wooden blocks, material/fabric
Students will be divided into 6 groups, one for each of the major systems in the human body, and create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.
In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot and collaboratively solve addition problems using critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They will then become detectives to solve the
In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot. They will collaborate with their peers and use problem-solving skills and critical thinking to learn about coding and how to create an
Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students
"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a young boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. While the book doesn't explicitly teach STEM principles, it
Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also
This lesson is used to introduce our unit on Energy in a 9th grade physics course; however, it can be adapted to various grade levels and contents. It can be completed over 1–3 days, depending on your
In this lesson, first-grade students will explore the concept of resource sharing in nature using dioramas. The lesson is designed to help students understand that living things, such as plants and
Lesson Description: In this first-grade lesson, we will learn about the amazing world of spiders! We'll start by exploring the life cycle of a spider, from when it hatches to how it grows and changes
This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and
Students will read the original version of The Three Little Pigs and then explore different versions of the story. After exploring, they will complete a compare & contrast chart on two or three of the
Students will read and explore the idea of leprechauns and traps. Then, using the Engineering Design Process students will have to build a leprechaun trap.
In this lesson, students will research to plan and design an "energy store" (battery) that will utilize potential and kinetic energy to power a city.
Today we will make new crayons from old and broken crayons. To do this we will: listen to an informational text describing how crayons are made. make a solar oven. describe the steps we take to make
Within this lesson students will present their master-planned community to a test audience and potential clients. Focus on presenting to the client rather than reading information off the slide
What are we learning? We are learning about the history of the Mars Rover program and how scientists had to work together to solve problems and make sure the rover landed safely on the Red Planet. We
In this integrated STEM + Math lesson, students will learn about and then create blueprints. This lesson demonstrates how blueprints can be used as part of the process in solving real world challenges
