In this lesson, students will develop and use the model of a simple circuit to explain how energy is moved through electric currents. The current and voltage in circuits with 1 dry cell and 2 dry
In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a sturdy structure out of toothpicks and marshmallows that will withstand an earthquake simulation (a tray of Jello is used). This is an engaging way
It's time to learn about the engineering design process and apply our understanding to make a sandwich! This fun and engaging lesson is flexible and an opportunity to explore the engineering design
In this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process (EDP) to create a prototype of a device that can prevent squirrels from accessing a bird feeder. This is a great way to integrate
In this engaging lesson, students explore how size, strength, weight and time constraints can impact space transportation. There are a variety of resources included with this lesson.
In this hands-on lesson, students apply their understanding of the engineering design process to build a tower made of index cards that can hold an object. There is a link to a prerequisite lesson
This engaging lesson is all about reverse engineering! Students will read and discuss the hook “A.I. Apocalypse”. They learn all about reverse engineering during this project as they determine a
