This lesson is an integration of ELA and STEM. The students will be introduced first to the reading of a short story as a springboard for the STEM lesson. Designing and assembling planes helps
Students spend time learning about Newton's 3 Laws of Motion, but can they correctly identify which one is being used when they see it? This lesson focuses on identifying each Law of Motion as a
Students will create a balloon-powered car out of found objects to demonstrate Newton's Third Law of Motion, that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Students will also test to
Students will listen to the story Iggy Peck Architect and create a bridge using available materials to see if it can carry weight.
Students utilize the Engineering Design Process to create a sailboat! Students, in order to continue a treasure hunt, must design and build a sailboat that will get them from on end of the channel
This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.
Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.
This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car
This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.
