Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots

This lesson plan will allow students to explore the use of a PhET simulation in creating a series and parallel circuit, then apply this knowledge in creating a real circuit. Students will also learn

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

Students start to build 3D models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.

In this engaging lesson, students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge. Link to view all lessons is included!

An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations

In this lesson students will be able to make their own slime using chemistry and chemical reactions then use their slime as a model for fractions while reading a short story called, "Slimey is Half."

This is a series of lessons that discusses the process and factors that may affect and may not affect seed germination. This also builds the background of the students about the needs of the plants

In this project students will be creating an agricultural community display. Students will need to create a proposal letter first to secure funding. Then they will create a blueprint that needs to be

In this lesson plan, students will use Tinkercad to create a representation of a fraction in 3D. After, they will team up with other students to find the sum of the two fractions.

Students will learn about the three pillars of sustainability through their quail farm. They will incubate, raise and restock their quails in order for them to be sustainable regardless of what

Students will learn basic concepts of physics, including velocity, motion, and vector. S tudents will develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance. Finally students will

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Students will explore the different types of grow mediums and grow lights used in the systems

Love it, kind of like it, kind of don’t like it, or don’t like it at all are typical responses to many things…depending on what we are being asked! During this investigation, we explore together, how

This engaging lesson is the 2nd lesson in a series of 2 focused on data science inquiry. Students use their My Data Portraits from Lesson 1 for data collection, analysis, presentation, reflection and

This STEM project allowed students to embark on an exciting journey of entrepreneurship with "Ride to Success." In this immersive STEM lesson plan, students will not only learn the ins and outs of

Students will use multiplication and will measure the area of a lot. This lesson plan uses the standards in science about plants, its size and structure. The leaf size is the focus of this lesson in
