In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Students will construct a rocket by exploring the relationship of the mass in the nose cone to the success of a launch. Students will learn about "center of mass' and how to find it, as well as the

Students will create and study and ecosystem on a small scale with seeds.

Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad and allow them to apply their skills to create a model car. It will also help them develop their

In this engaging lesson, students will summarize the environmental impact of obtaining and using fossil fuels and recommend solutions for reducing use of fossil fuels. Students use chocolate chip

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the shapes found in and around their home. Making these connections will provide a real-world framework to their understanding of mathematics

In this engaging lesson, students will use an online seasons simulation to explore how direct and indirect sunlight influence the seasons. They will graph daylight hours from cities located in

In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on. The goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to explain the

Summary: Students are coding and observing robots to try and determine all forces acting on the robot. Materials; Robots that can be coded to move in different ways. Laptops to code. Agenda The

Students will be designing and building a strong house able to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms. In the lesson, students will compare their work with the actions of a character from If I Built

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

Students will plant and observe plants from seed to full germination while making observations on growth in this engaging lesson. This will be done using a science notebook to record germination

Over two days students will build lego mazes to code their Sphero minis through. Materials needed are; the planning page, legos, Sphero minis, Sphero EDU App, iPads, and Lego build plates.

Students will be able to identify the 4 main nutritional needs for chickens, and why they are needed. They will be able to read a recipe and create ratios based on the recipe. For this first lesson

Model Building For Disaster is a 4-6 week unit in which students research natural disasters around the world and their effect on developing countries. Following their research, student teams design

In this 2nd lesson in a series of 2, students will continue the work on their cup design. They will analyze features of water cups for how effective they are at keeping our water cold while we are at

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the numbers found in and around their home. Making these connections will help strengthen number sense and provide a real-world framework to

Classes will prepare several garden bins for planting. By using a tape measure, students take into consideration the recommended distances of seed planting described on the seed packet and the

In this unit, students will study the effects of atmospheric pressure and air resistance on objects to engineer a landing apparatus to land cargo in space. They will then write a Claim based on
