Lesson Two of Four: This lesson will help to show students there are lots of possibilities when building robots and students will be able to create their own prototype.
First of Four. Introduction to how Edison Robots work. Students will self discover some of the possibilities of what the robots can do.
In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the
Electricity and magnetism are fundamental to the workings of nearly every gadget, appliance, vehicle, and machine we use. This great 6th Grade lesson covers magnetic fields where students will be able
This lesson plan will allow students to explore the use of a PhET simulation in creating a series and parallel circuit, then apply this knowledge in creating a real circuit. Students will also learn
This design challenge is broken up into four parts, this is part three. This lesson will focus on completing the build and evaluating/revising the device that groups began building in the previous
In this lesson, students observe the changes in states of matter caused by heat, or the lack in changes in some objects. Students relate this to the Driving Question of what happened to the Niagara
Design a helicopter out of paper only. Students will explore design and paper types.
In this parts of a plant lesson students will be able to identify and describe the basic parts of a plant. Students will learn about seeds, roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. Epics books will be
Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots
Students will be asked to design and build a playground using the given materials construction paper, toilet paper/paper towel rolls, jumbo/regular popsicle sticks, and glue/tape. They will learn
As part of a unit on renewable energy, students build and collect data on a solar powered fan. They learn about agrivoltaics and build a model of a racking system. They explore angles and energy use.
For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype
In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph
Students will apply their knowledge of food chains within ecosystems to the design of a mandala. This lesson will combine science, visual art and geometry. First, students will get a review of food
Students will apply physics and engineering principles to design and construct a functional mini-golf course using homemade materials.
Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated
Students take plants that they have already sprouted from seed in prior lessons and now will investigate how that plant changes when basic needs are blocked. Students create a dark box maze and
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.
Your job is to build an aqueduct that will supply the Roman cities with clean water to private homes, public baths and glorious fountains. With this success, the citizens will drink clean water
Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a
Students design a 3D bubble wand in Tinkercad and print on a 3D printer.
Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard
In this lesson, students will explore how sound moves through physical matter by building a cup and string "telephone." Following testing their design, students will create a video or podcast to
