This is a detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in

Transportation 2043 - In 20 years time, how will you move within a city, how will you transport between major urban areas? Will you use High Speed Rail, a Hyperloop, Driverless Vehicles, eVTOLs

Using pumpkins, design and create Cinderella's carriage. This lesson can demonstrate Potential Energy turning into Kinetic Energy

Students will discover: I put rotted food into a container with earthworms, where did the food go?

Students will discover: What will happen if animals are eliminated in ecosystems and food webs?

Students will discover: Why do organisms depend on other organisms for survival?

This lesson will help children discover the phenomena: People say I have so much energy all the time and that the sun gives plants energy, is it the same?

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students will read the novel, "The Lion of Mars", design & launch paper rockets, and then design a sustainable Mars Colony inspired by the novel. This hands-on lesson is scheduled to take around 15

Students design and test a device for an egg drop in this engaging and hands-on lesson. They will document their data, make modifications to designs, and assess what the outcome is of their own drop

In this inquiry-based lesson, students explore energy with the phenomenal Newton's cradle. They will be able to understand and apply the Law of Conservation of Energy. Students will identify the
