Students will first build and collect data on how fast their solar car is. Then students can change items to increase the efficiency of the solar panel to increase the overall speed of the solar car.

My Simple Vibrobots is an activity that takes place in the classroom. Students may be grouped by 4-6 members to produce designs for 3 vibrobots which can move faster, stand upright and less or no

This lesson helps kids have an understanding of how our eyes capture light. A camera captures pictures of objects using a similar way so in this experiment, kids will be making a camera using simple

In this lesson, students will design and create a digital greeting card for a specific audience and purpose using coding skills learned in Scratch.

Students will take the rover models they built using LEGOs in Design a Rover Part 1. They will improve on their design in Tinkercad and build a model that will be printed utilizing a 3D printer. Their

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.
