In this lesson plan, students will use Tinkercad to create a representation of a fraction in 3D. After, they will team up with other students to find the sum of the two fractions.
As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.
In this project students will be creating an agricultural community display. Students will need to create a proposal letter first to secure funding. Then they will create a blueprint that needs to be
This is a series of lessons that discusses the process and factors that may affect and may not affect seed germination. This also builds the background of the students about the needs of the plants
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."
An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations
This two-part lesson models STEM instruction in the context of an ELD classroom. In this lesson (part 2), students pose a research question about clouds, weather, and/or climate, and address it with
This two-part lesson models STEM instruction in the context of an ELD classroom. In part 1 (this lesson), the goal is to promote scientific academic discourse in an ELD classroom. Students use a
Students carry out a lab activity to determine Hooke's Law and investigate spring constants.
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.
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.
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may
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
In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this
A hands-on lesson that teaches students about simple machines and types of energy.
In this lesson, students will get creative with materials to rescue an unfortunate worm. After completing this activity students will have a much better concept of what the 'T" in STEM really means
The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.
Students are left stranded on an alien planet and must wait for rescue. In the meantime they have found some valuable resources from a previous space craft crash. Students encounter the aliens and are
Students will gather information to develop a model about the essential elements needed by plants in order to grow and survive. The students will then apply this knowledge by conducting an
This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for
With this introductory lesson on Newton's Laws, student will have the opportunity to understand and explain Newton's 3 laws through a hands-on experience. This is an excellent way to introduce physics
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
