Barbie is an adventure seeker to the max! She loves the thrill of death defying activities. She believes the adrenaline rush makes her hair more lustrous and keeps a brilliant smile on her face; so

This is an 8th-grade lesson designed to help students refine their thinking about how sound travels through a medium. It includes a computer simulation to help students visualize particle movement and

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

Students will use projectile motion as practical example to better understand how parabolas (quadratic equations) are built. Students will also tabulate x and y values on Google Spreadsheets and graph

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 the Drone Light Show project, students will explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and teamwork by designing and programming their own synchronized drone light show. Utilizing DJI

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

In this lesson, students will explore the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit. Using a PhET Simulation, they will collect data and graph voltage vs current

Students will explore the separation method of liquid chromatography by analyzing the types of dyes in marker brands. They will then get the opportunity to calculate the change in dye placement and

I recently extended my lesson on my homesite lease, which involves land plots on the reservation. I covered the process of designing our land plot, including drawing elements such as homes, corrals

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

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
