In this lesson students will use their climate zone and plant information to create a model of a garden. They will use a variety of charts and graphs to determine what plants will grow best given the

This is the first of 4 lessons where students will propose and configure a school garden using criteria given by the principal. Students will work in groups of 3 to determine configurations. They will

Students will be able to collaboratively build, and program a simple robot using Lego Spike Prime kits. Students will demonstrate basic skills in robotics and coding by successfully constructing their

In this lesson, students cover concepts like states of matter and chemical changes. Students will apply these concepts to an activity where they will make fake snow. Students will be challenged to

Students will go through the process of counting pumpkin seeds and analyzing data through mean, median and mode as well as creating correlating graphs. Students will learn what causes fruit

Students will have fun building and testing with KidSpark observing and calculating forces such as load and effort.

The math and research of hot cocoa. Students will find or use a teacher provided hot cocoa recipe and practice working with fractions to increase or decrease the recipe yield.

In the 5th-grade Paper Plane Aerodynamics lesson, students embark on an exciting journey into the world of flight. Through hands-on activities, they explore the fundamental principles of aerodynamics

This interactive 4th-grade lesson plan focuses on erosion and weathering, key concepts in understanding Earth's geology. In "Dynamic Earth," students use an interactive simulation to explore how

This lesson incorporates Math, Science and Reading standards into a pumpkin themed third grade lesson. Students will use a mentor text to relate to the life cycle of a pumpkin, create, compare and
