S5: Apply Technology to Engineering

This lesson shows how you can use LEGOs and coding to demonstrate how gravity works and what can be done to counter the gravitational pull. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are essential

In this hands-on lesson, students are supported in their initial self-exploration with Edison Robots. Students work in small groups and begin with a KWL chart. Watch what students can do as they make

In this outstanding lesson, students will explore circuitry through working collaboratively to build a working floor piano out of simple materials. Students explore the engineering design process by

Students explore how circuitry works with a hands-on lesson where they design and build their own working pressure plate. The use of a MakeyMakey is incorporated with helpful video resources and

This is the 2nd lesson that walks learners through the process of developing apps with MIT App Inventor. Students will create a detailed plan for an app that solves a problem, followed by learning to

This is the 1st lesson in a series of 2 where students are guided through an introduction to designing apps with MIT App Inventor. Students will brainstorm ideas for their own apps, follow tutorials

In this outstanding lesson, students will apply their knowledge of how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact our world in a stop motion film. The lesson covers a Science

This lesson uses Edison Robots but any programmable robot can be used. Students explore how to block code a robot to create a sequence of events. Their program is tested for accuracy and revised for

More VR integration in the classroom, oh my! This is the second lesson of a two-day exploration of chain reactions. On day one, students received a general overview of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg
