This lesson, is one to make your students taste buds jump for joy as they get to create their very own edible eyeball cookie. This is a great STEM lesson to use when learning about the parts and

Students will have fun building and testing with KidSpark observing and calculating forces such as load and effort.

This interactive 4th-grade lesson plan focuses on erosion and weathering, key concepts in understanding Earth's geology. In "Dynamic Earth," students use an interactive simulation to explore how

This lesson includes fourth grade reading, writing, math, science, and engineering standards. The potential is endless with additional enrichment activities. Students participate in the nurturing and

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about thermometers and determining the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit. They create a table of temperature readings for a minimum of 10 days and find

In this engaging lesson, students study and design a healthy fish tank with a variety of animals. Students also learn about budgeting costs.

Students will become a DESIGN TEAM. The team will be using the 4 C’s and the steps of the Design Process to produce an item for a chosen client. Students will focus on empathy to decide on components

Using the Binary alphabet, students will create secret messages that may be found on Valentine's candy hearts.

This lesson helps kids have an understanding of how our eyes capture light. A camera captures pictures of objects using a similar way so in this experiment, kids will be making a camera using simple

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

How could a zombie outbreak happen? In this lab, students will observe how quickly an unknown disease can spread by mixing water from a cup with their peers' water. Contaminated students have iodine

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

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
