This lesson aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of geometry through the lens of architecture. Students will explore the properties of geometric shapes, study famous architectural

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

This lesson plan is on how to make agar plates to grow media on. This teaches the students how to measure out the agar and water and mix properly and plate the agar properly.

Students will use Gel Electrophoresis to diagnose the dominant, fatal, genetic disorder of Huntington's Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an excessive number of CAG repeats in the DNA

This lesson is designed to uderstand the stages of mitosis by integrating Virtual Reality (VR) in the classroom. The students will be able to identify and describe the key events in each stage of

Students use what they know about similar triangles to create a problem. They will use laser pointers and a small mirror to create a problem requiring students to point the laser beam at the mirror to

Students will explore the historical use of natural pigments by indigenous peoples, particularly those native to the Southwest region. They will use mathematical concepts to paint using the pigments

Students will understand and apply geometric concepts such as symmetry, angles, and scaling in the context of labyrinth design.

In this engaging and interactive lesson, high school students (grades 10-12) will explore the fascinating world of molecular geometry using the PhET "Molecule Shapes" simulation. The lesson is

Students will design a floor plan for a house and use area and volume to calculate the dimensions of their floor plan. They can also have the option to create a wooden model of their design.

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

Students will apply principles of design, engineering, and mathematics to create a physical or digital labyrinth inspired by the myth of Theseus. This project integrates STEM concepts with literature
