This includes my whole unit of a four week lesson on the Universe. I was quite fascinated with the amount of resources available for us from NASA and ESA to help teachers in keeping the students

Students will engineer a working Mars Rover to transport supplies through rough terrain.

In this lesson, students will need to obtain, evaluate and communicate the effects of gravity on objects. Students will watch an engagement video demonstrating how many objects fall to the ground

Students will be able to identify the planets in our solar system, describe the difference between rotation and revolution, and engineer a three dimensional model of our solar system.

Students will modify previous versions of their Edison robots to move objects on the Mars map. Students will investigate the idea of a biosphere and use their robots to move supplies to the biosphere

Students will practice coding using Ed Blocks. They will use a given map as a target for their robot navigation with precision. The emphasis on this lesson is on making modifications and adjustments

Students will complete a shadow activity where they will learn what happens to shadows throughout the day. They will create a hypothesis, collect observable data, and come to a conclusion about a

Students will work together to create a scale to build the solar system using ratios and proportions.

Students will use PIXLR to compare sizes of the moon and earth to each other and other objects in the solar system.
