Classes will build three different types of rockets, guess which style will have the highest altitude, launch and calculate results based on right triangle math!
Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
Students start to build 3D models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.
Understanding and studying energy transfer produced by molecules collisions can be difficult and abstract for them. To make it easier for them to visualize, creating a Newton's Cradle will help them
Students will learn to differentiate between plant and animal cells and their functions. Students will also begin a project of growing plants for an experiment with photosynthesis.
Exploring chemical reactions is highly engaging for the students if taught in a student-centered lesson. This lesson was inspired by the activity of 6th-Grade Amplify Science, Exploring Chemical
A high school physics plan that allows students to explore with different lenses and lasers.
In part 1 of this investigation, groups were challenged to design for speed and collect data to find the fastest car in the class. Using those designs, part 2 will test the mass of a car vs the power
This is the 3rd part of the lesson series where students will determine the thrust and stability of their water bottle rockets to answer their essential question: Using the Design Process how can we
Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare
In this lesson students will create a model to investigate how a location's temperature may change during an El Niño year. Students will construct landforms in a tray and then fill the tray with water
Students will use a budget sheet to 'buy' materials for the challenge. They will be applying their knowledge of decimals to add up their total as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills
This STEM lesson focuses on technology and engineering. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for groups of 3-4, it could be used for a
This STEM lesson focuses on technology, engineering math. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for groups of 3-4, it could be used for a
This is a culminating project for the end of a Space Science unit. Students will each research a unique star, then work in a group to research the constellation of their star. In groups, students will
Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math
~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to
This design challenge was open for any interested students from grades 9-12. Students met afterschool over the course of the second semester. This is the 3rd sequence lesson in a set of 4. This lesson
In this lesson, students will construct a solar updraft tower. They will use heat lamps to warm the air inside the tower, resulting in the propeller spinning. This lesson helps students gain a better
This STEAM project will have us exploring some of the issues or problems associated with food and creating solutions to educate and persuade our community about how our food is produced and making the
In this lesson, students will conduct an investigation to see how temperature can affect the state of matter.
This project encourages students to be more knowledgeable on the beauty and natural resources of the Grand Canyon State, Arizona, by creating informative posters and hosting a classroom gallery walk
Collaboratively, students will make a 3D-model of their chosen Arizona biome. Their model must show the different interrelationships between biotic and abiotic factors. After project making, students
In this investigation, 9th grade students will design and construct a car to test against classmates for the fastest car in the class. Students will test, collect data, calculate and share data with
