In this creative engineering design lesson, students are challenged to use an inclined plane to create a safe and exciting zipline park for Zippy the Elf. This lesson reviews simple machines and has

MS MakeCode is the perfect stepping stone into the world of Scratch. Students will be able to create a working video game in one class period. As we all know classic video games were not built over

Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super

In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use

Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.

This is a great opportunity to show students that coding can be a lot of fun, and it doesn’t have to be scary. Many high school students with little to no prior coding experience often automatically

Students will be able to collaboratively build, and program a simple robot using Lego Spike Prime kits. Students will demonstrate basic skills in robotics and coding by successfully constructing their

This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 3. In this 8-week project, 6th-grade students will collaborate in small groups to create eco-friendly inventions that aim to reduce their carbon footprints and

This is the 1st lesson in a series of 3. 6th-grade students will work in groups to create eco-friendly inventions that help the environment and tackle climate change. They will research ideas, make

This outstanding lesson guides students through an introduction to Edison Robots. Students will learn the basic features and sensors while exploring barcode programs. The slideshow and a custom

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

Stop motion is a great way for students to slow down working through the steps in math to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts. Students can film a short story or step-by-step instructions

By creating a stop motion animation, students will gain a deeper understanding of how landforms develop, are weathered, and erode. This is an engaging way to help infer the history of the current
