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 is lesson 4 of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This is lesson 3 of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This is lesson 2 of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This is lesson one of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This lesson takes two days or class periods since it is an exploration of energy in the lives of the students. Day 1 involves 8 different scenarios. Day 2 is an exploration of how efficient two

This is the second part of two lessons on density. This lesson is on the density of liquids following the first lesson on density of solids. The lesson is a lab on layering several liquids with

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.

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

This lesson provides a quick and easy to understand introduction to Binary code. In this lesson, we focus on binary numbers whereas, subsequent lessons can focus on the binary alphabet.

Students will use the engineering design process to complete 3 challenges. Each challenge gathers data and collects their engineering changes necessary to complete the challenge.

Engage students with competitive activities. Students will be predicting measurements, collecting data, and determining the difference between the estimation and the actual. Students will create la

Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases

Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline

Students will focus sunlight through a pinhole onto a sheet of paper. Knowing the distance between the projection and the pinhole allows students to calculate the diameter of the Sun using ratios.
