In the final part of A Light in the Dark (pt. 3 of 3), students create their solution to the problem based on their chosen theme. Students present their final solutions to be evaluated.
In this continuation of A Light in the Dark (pt. 2 of 3), students research their questions and consolidate their learning, then determine their next steps in the process to solve the problem.
This lesson introduces the unit exploring light pollution and possible solutions students can create. Students will explore what light pollution is. Students will determine next steps in the process.
Students will engineer a game with rules and directions to help understand and practice proportional ratios with as little material needed as possible.
By 2028, NASA plans to send a mission to Mars to retrieve samples collected by rovers and return to Earth. Student teams are challenged to build a rover and design a way to retrieve as much cargo as
In this lesson, students will be learning about solar energy and how it may be used to solve problems. After reading and comparing two texts about solar energy, students will use simple materials to
Students will use a budget sheet to 'buy' materials for the challenge. They will be applying their knowledge of decimals to add up their total as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills
This STEM lesson focuses on technology and engineering. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for groups of 3-4, it could be used for a
Oil Spill; Students are challenged to clean up an oil spill in a river environment. Students create the river environment in a container and add water, plants, sand, and animals. They will spill 1/4
