How do light rays reflect and refract? Does light travel at different speeds in different mediums? This lesson reviews how light waves can be reflected and refracted, and how light waves can change
Students need to learn basic internet safety, which starts with developing strong login and site passwords before doing any research on the internet. Creating and managing strong, secure passwords is
In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the
In this engaging lesson, students will connect the path of a straw rock to the arc of a parabola. By changing the angle of the launcher, they will discover the relationship between distance and height
This lesson provides context for the 6th grade physical science standards dealing with matter. It enables students to anchor their learning in real world issues as they combine data literacy and art
In this lesson, students use real-world data to explore criteria for air pollutants. If students continue to the next lesson in this series, they create data-based art to deepen and demonstrate their
In this lesson, students explore gravitational potential energy changes with the mass of an object and the height from which it is dropped. Students record the drop in slow motion to capture the
Students will explore the concepts of sound and rhythm through a STEM-focused lesson plan that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with music. Students will engage in hands-on
Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design
In this 2nd grade STEM lesson, students will learn how symbols (directional arrows) can be used to program an object's movements. They will develop an algorithm using a sequential graphic organizer to
Students will create a "football" to practice kicking accuracy. They will collect data and create a graph showing their results. After students will learn about a kickers role in the NFL, what a field
In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data
