Introducing how EdScratch programming works with the Edison Robots. Activities and ideas linked in the lesson.

Lesson two of four: Showing students there are lots of possibilities when building Robots. Helping them see there is no right or wrong way.

In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the

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

With the cereal box the students created in lesson 1, they will design and create a new cereal. They can create a logo and an advertising plan.

For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype

In this activity and experiment SW use a table to organize information. Create a graph to display data, using correct labels. Recognize the relationship among the table, the graph, and the slope of a

Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated

Students take plants that they have already sprouted from seed in prior lessons and now will investigate how that plant changes when basic needs are blocked. Students create a dark box maze and

Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a

How is Res going to collect samples from Mars? Can you use Edison to design a collector that can help Res collect Mars samples? In this lesson students will use Edison to design a sample collector

Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of
