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
Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while
Students will use the engineering process to build the sturdiest bridge they can out of foil. Bridges will be tested by putting pennies on them to see how many pennies they can hold before collapsing
Design a helicopter out of paper only. Students will explore design and paper types.
Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
Lesson 2 of 2. Create a shelter that can withstand an earthquake. Students research earthquakes and then use a prototype to create a earthquake proof shelter.
Lesson 1 of 2. Students will create a prototype water disaster shelter for displaced families. Must meet different criteria and allows for brainstorming and creativity. Helps students understand
Students will find ways to reduce Carbon Dioxide from the air through video and articles. After they evaluate this information, they will design a park or garden to help with the biosphere and carbon
This lesson has students build a half adder, a fundamental building block for digital computers.
The first part of this lesson reviews the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles using graph paper. Algebraic representations are introduced and students define variables and write equations
Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered
This lesson looks at the Fibonacci sequence and the story of Fibonacci. It looks at the numbers, the rectangles and places in nature and art where they can be found.
Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
In this lesson students will learn about weathering and erosion. They will also plant seeds to take home and to also grow at school. The lesson title is Gardening from School to Home Lesson #3.
This lesson plan involves dilation and scale factors and how the human eye perceives 3D when it only uses 2D images. The hands on activity is a perspective drawing of a city scape and teaches about
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will be begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of
The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of
Designed for three hour-long before-school STEAM Club for scholars from Kindergarten to Fourth Grades. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
An exploratory lesson on the relationship between pi and circumference. The students can measure the circumference of everyday items and explore the ratio of pi between the circumference and diameter
This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening
This lesson compares and contrasts different hydroponic systems and their benefits and setbacks. Then, the plan walks the students through the hands-on activity of creating a Kratky bin for hydroponic
1. Present the project and explain the basic steps that the students will be completing over the next 2 to 3 class periods. • The students will be working and pretending that they work for an
