Sustainability

In this 6th grade STEM lesson, students explore the real-world challenges of renewable energy by designing and testing simple solar oven and wind turbine models. Working collaboratively, they will

Students design and build eco-friendly theme park rides using recycled materials to model energy efficiency, test data, and explore sustainable power sources through STEAM.

Students will construct a wind turbine, gauge energy efficiency and durability. Students will then reflect on their data. This leads to a great discussion on different methods for capturing energy.

In this lesson, students will engage in a hands-on STEM project where they design and construct a model city made from Legos that is powered by renewable solar energy. Using the engineering design

During the Build a Sustainable City STEM project, 5th grade students will design and construct a model city that balances human needs with environmental responsibility. Students work in teams to

In this interdisciplinary unit, students explore the environmental and health impacts of traditional cooking methods around the world and use the engineering design process to develop solar-powered
