Are your students fans of Formula 1? If they are or aren't this lesson will take a look into the dominance of Red Bull Racing in Formula 1. Why is Red Bull so dominant? Is it the driver or the

Middle school students love to compete. Here's a lesson idea for a competition that will appeal to your student scientists, artists, and poets alike. Standards and connections are offered for middle

Students will learn the importance of clear, precise communication by directing a partner to navigate a drone through an obstacle course. This exercise will draw parallels to writing clear and

This lesson can be used as a formative assessment on Static Equilibrium of a horizontal meter stick that has two masses hanging from the meter stick. One of the mass values is provided, the 2nd mass

This STEM Argumentative Research Project engages students in exploring the scientific, ethical, and societal implications of themes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Students will work in groups to

This lesson is all about force and the influence it has on the motion of an object. In this lesson plan, students will be challenged to design a sturdy paper human house that can withstand force (wind

This is a project to be used possibly at the end of a unit on Newton's Laws with discussions of how his laws apply to the painting and the motion of the pendulum. It can also lead to discussions of

Want to incorporate the Arts into your 7-12 STEM classroom? The Global Science Opera provides a way to do just that! Learn how to facilitate a STEAM collaboration with arts teachers to make it happen.

On the second day students use more complex coding, the built in camera for taking pictures and experience FPV. It has 3 missions total in this lesson. This lesson also uses yaw to keep the camera

In this lesson, students will explore the key physics principles that govern the design and operation of street lighting systems. Through a hands-on engineering design challenge, students will apply

Part 4! Students take all that they have learned from all the parts along with observations of their rocket launch to create a detailed google slides presentation!

Part 3 of the Unit. Students launch their rockets and record observations along with altitude data!

This lesson is an opportunity for students to learn about the past, the interesting field of nuclear radiation, and future implications to humanity as we encounter it in our spaces.

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

In this lesson, students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator. Next, they graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their

Get the athletic shoes ready! Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs in this engaging lesson. The change in potential energy

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be

This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted for 9th to 12th grade, dual enrollment and AP Physics.

In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the

In this engaging lesson, students will connect the path of a straw rocket to the arc of a parabola. By changing the angle of the launcher, they will discover the relationship between distance and

Intro to magnets purpose: students engage in practical experimentation. The primary objective of this lesson is to acquaint students with the concept that magnetic force can either draw objects closer

Create potential for masses or charges. Students get to create 3D models of these potential and gain a deeper qualitative representation of why masses or charge move towards lowest potential.

The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.
