Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super
Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.
Students will solve mysteries using a digital scale, systems of equations, and their ingenuity! It enhances problem-solving skills and understanding of mathematical concepts.
In this lesson, students will be creating a working model demonstrating Earth’s rotation and revolution. Students will be able to explain the differences between Earth’s rotation and revolution
ArtBot is an innovative educational tool designed to introduce students to the fascinating world of electric and magnetic interactions through the medium of art. This unique robot is equipped with
A thermos is a must-have device for anyone who wants to enjoy hot or cold beverages on-the-go. It is a simple yet ingenious invention that utilizes scientific principles to keep our drinks at the
Students will continue their investigation into school waste by exploring the area provided for a composting. Students will measure to find the volume of the three compost spaces. They will then
Water Troughs on the Rez is a lesson plan to help students understand the mathematical perspective of everyday items around our homes on the reservation. Students are to share different types of water
In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.
This lesson is PART 3 of a four-lesson unit, which focuses on futures thinking, the phenomenon of electricity, closed-system agriculture, and water as a renewable energy resource. “The City of Ember”
This is a multi-day engineering design project. I use this for 2 weeks, a total of ten 50-minute periods. Students will research and design a dog house, creating a 3D model in a web-based computer
This is a high-school level hands-on project that allows students to build their own working sundial, make predictions and assess their accuracy. This lesson ties in with the study of Kepler's Laws.
In this lesson plan, students will be able to investigate battery cells as they construct their own simple batteries: They will know that batteries are a common store of energy for many devices that
By the end of this lesson, students will understand the unique adaptations of desert tortoises and the importance of conserving their habitat. Students also engineer a habitat for the desert tortoise.
In this final lesson, students will use a life expectancy model to figure their likelihood of dying at a certain age They will use this answer to calculate their best life insurance policy, and
Students will orient to the varied rates of death that depend on age. They will learn how to check for conditions of valid sampling designs that let them use the Normal curve for modeling their sample
In this lesson two of four, students have to estimate and guess how much weight each of four factors has on a person's life expectancy, which often causes discomfort. They will ask you for direction
In this first of a four-part unit, students are introduced to the question under investigation: How much life insurance should I buy to cover myself when I am 45 years old? To answer this
In this engaging and interactive lesson, students explore adaptation and creative problem-solving. Inspired by "The Great Turkey Race," students will engage in a hands-on engineering lesson to design
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to
Using the book "Those Darn Squirrels" by Adam Rubin, students will design and create a bird feeder to let the birds IN and keep the squirrels OUT! Communication, collaboration, and creativity are key
Using the engineering design process, students will collaborate to plan and build a tower...but not just any old tower! This "Tower with a Twist" has to include a suspended cup that can also hold
In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and
