This lesson serves as the introduction to an 8 lesson series or unit on simple machines. This series will present dozens of activities to introduce your students to simple machines, culminating in the

This is a hands-on, collaborative lesson that allows the students to include art and presentation skills in the project. The students research various aspects of a selected planet and then presents

In this lab, we will be completing a set of tasks that will help us develop a better understanding of the formation and parts of both transverse and longitudinal waves.

This is an introduction to coding and computer science by way of making and design, using the revolutionary new micro:bit microcontroller board. The bootcamp lesson is designed to help everyone

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to develop a safe community for refugees and countries in crisis. Throughout the unit, you will

Students will level up from player to designer to earn their publishing license... all through play! They will become experts in repairing, creating and publishing video games using the Gamestar

This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They

This lesson is an introduction to circuits. It teaches about what is a circuit and then applies what they learned in a variety of ways through centers. Then, they will apply what they learned about

This is a smaller part of a larger Digital Citizenship Unit. Students will spend time understanding the concept of a Digital Footprint and the long term consequences of a negative Digital Footprint

In this lesson, students will explore the different pigments in green plants using spinach leaves. Students will identify the pigments by doing a lab using paper chromatography. They will observe the

Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument

The math and research of hot cocoa. Students will find or use a teacher provided hot cocoa recipe and practice working with fractions to increase or decrease the recipe yield.

This is the fourth and fifth lessons of 7 in the Take-Off & Landing unit. This unit is the first for the Aeronautics 2 students. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from

This is the third lesson of 7 in the Take-Off & Landing unit. This unit is the first for the Aeronautics 2 students. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from Aeronautics 1

This is the second lessons of 7 in the Take-Off & Landing unit. This unit is the first for the Aeronautics 2 students. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from Aeronautics 1

This is the first of 7 Take-Off & Landing Lessons. This unit is the start the Aeronautics 2 lessons. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from Aeronautics 1 course. (See

Students are expected to design the interior of a tiny house for a client who wants to maximize their small space but not skimp on style and functionality.

This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to

This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to

This lesson is on density of solids. It's one lesson of two. This lesson should be first since it introduces density but it can be revised and used after the density of liquids. The lesson has a short

I use this egg drop/crash lesson as an introduction to Energy and Energy Transfer in physics. Students understand basic kinematics, but I generally conduct this lesson before projectile motion, but it

I use this lesson as a fun activity to visualize unit conversions and the immense scale of the universe. I love this lesson because I find it challenging to teach unit conversions with hands-on

Students will compare and contrast homes and technology from 50 years ago to the present day. Students will design a SMART home gadget that can be implemented into SMART homes of the future.

Students will discover the different facets of building a business including product and market research, marketing, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.
