This lesson gives students another real life example of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Students will use force diagrams and Newton's Second Law of Motion to find their apparent weight as they
Students will build a paper marble run out of recycled paper which maximizes the time of travel. Students will then analyze the run with energy diagrams (LOL) and determine how much energy was lost.
This is an introductory activity to reaction kinetics at an AP Chemistry level. Students use model kits or Legos in an activity that allows them to model how changing the concentration of reactants in
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
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
This lesson includes fourth grade reading, writing, math, science, and engineering standards. The potential is endless with additional enrichment activities. Students participate in the nurturing and
I use this lesson as a fun activity to visualize unit conversions and the immense scale of the universe. I love this lesson because I find it challenging to teach unit conversions with hands-on
A look at 3 different injuries and the different systems that are affected and the math behind the functions of the body and medical interventions.
This is a density lab involving hot and cold water layering, salt density layers, and a PHET online lab simulation.
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.
Engage students with competitive activities. Students will be predicting measurements, collecting data, and determining the difference between the estimation and the actual. Students will create la
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
Students play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.
Students will use inquiry to see the conversation of energy by burning up oxygen and sugars to see Carbon Dioxide present in a system and create energy.
In this lesson, students will work in small groups of 3-4 to design and engineer a manipulative or activity designed to help practice simplifying expressions. Creative designs for the manipulative
In this lesson students will demonstrate their deeper understanding of how the concept of slope is applied to the real-world construction of the wheelchair access ramp. Students will use the knowledge
Students will learn about engineering design and redesign. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to plan and design a boat structure. They will build a clay and paper
This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable
This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that
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.
Students will create an airplane model that goes the fastest and farthest from point A to Point B and collect data of their experiment. To create a multimedia presentation showing the design of each
Students use the engineering design process to create paper rocket protoypes and complete a cost-benefit analysis to help choose the best one.
This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This can be the start of the project or you can do lesson 1 soil microbes first. Though you do have
Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy
