Students will understand the basic concepts of magnets and magnetic interactions. Students will be able to apply their knowledge to create and solve simple design problems using Magna-Tiles. Students
Understand geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. Apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students
"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a young boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. While the book doesn't explicitly teach STEM principles, it
In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance
Welcome to Robot Relays: Construct the Course! In this engaging lesson, students will apply the engineering process to create a series of relay challenges for their robots.
This is a hands-on lesson for both science and math exploration. Students use tape to explore the forces between charges and come up with a mathematical expression for how that works! They create a
This engaging lesson is a perfect culminating project for a kindergarten unit on exploring the five senses. In this hands-on lesson, students will create an evaluate a sensory extension tool.
In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion while building a functional pinball machine out of recycled materials and classroom items. Let students get creative and
