Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while
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
Design a helicopter out of paper only. Students will explore design and paper types.
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
Students will be asked to design and build a playground using the given materials construction paper, toilet paper/paper towel rolls, jumbo/regular popsicle sticks, and glue/tape. They will learn
As part of a unit on renewable energy, students build and collect data on a solar powered fan. They learn about agrivoltaics and build a model of a racking system. They explore angles and energy use.
For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype
In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph
Students will apply their knowledge of food chains within ecosystems to the design of a mandala. This lesson will combine science, visual art and geometry. First, students will get a review of food
