Engineering

Students will be working together to clean up an oil spill. They will discover what an oil spill is, what causes it, and what the effects are. The simulation is made using tinfoil baking dishes

Create a Bee-Bot board game, and program the Bee-Bot to move through the game board. Students will use the steps of the engineering design process as they work as a team to create and play their game

Students will be using their science and math knowledge to engineer a golf course! This is a great way for students to use that knowledge in a real life way! Students get the chance to explore how

Students collaborate to create mazes for the Bee-Bot robot. Students also work in teams to plan and create programs to move Bee-Bots through the maze. For this lesson, students work in groups of 2-3

In this activity, students will make a model of the planets in the solar system and specifically model their distances to scale. Materials: Model of the Solar System-plastic 3D model String Push pins

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

Students construct models of various molecules, create histograms of the frequency of elements, and diagram parts of an atom. Students will deepen their understanding of matter--that tiny particles

Let's Fly is a great lesson for those teaching forces and motion. Find some balsa wood flyers through a STEAM source (ideas included), take your students outside to play and let them observe. Then

You could do this together, step by step or give them all of the materials and information needed to do it by themselves. Could be a group activity or an individual activity so each student can take
