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

In this Kindergarten STEM lesson, students explore the concepts of light and shadows using Groundhog Day as a thematic starting point. The lesson begins with an engaging introduction through a SciShow

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

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.

The students will come up with what is sound and how it is produced. Then in the next two lessons explore with a signal generator to explore amplitude and frequency.

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

Kindergarten students will be given a STEM case to solve! The goal is to build a bridge for two different sized/weight of vehicles. Students will research types of bridges and decide which bridge will

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.

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

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
