Students are learning to construct a tetrahedron kite using basic materials, understand geometric concepts related to the tetrahedron shape, and learn about basic principles of aerodynamics.
This is part 2 of a two part lesson called Sailing Down the Road. In this lesson students will design a sail that can successfully catch the wind and cause their cardboard car (from part 1) to drive
Investigative Phenomenon: When subjected to identical forces, a golf ball and a table tennis ball exhibit distinct movement. In this lesson, students discover: 1. Equivalent force may result in varied
In this hands-on lesson, students will attempt two builds. Students will identify weaknesses and strengths in both of their structures. They will then evaluate the effectiveness of their builds.
In this lesson students read about simple machines and learn that simple machines make it easier to lift or move things and that they can change direction and magnitude of force. Students use LEGOs to
Students will learn about the four forces of flight in this introductory lesson. This is lesson one of a four-part unit and provides students with the knowledge they need about flight to engage in a
In this STEM Challenge, students add materials to help their rock roll better. Then, they examine how to push and pull their rock.
In this lesson, students will test Earth's gravity and how gravity affects objects of different masses. Students will see that mass does not have an effect but instead air resistance is what causes
This lesson aims to introduce the concept of equilibrium point by creating and revising a model. This hands-on lesson encourages students to explore the concepts of equilibrium and balance while
