This lesson is used to introduce our unit on Energy in a 9th grade physics course; however, it can be adapted to various grade levels and contents. It can be completed over 1–3 days, depending on your

Have you ever seen a weather forecast on TV? If so, you might have noticed the letters "H" and "L" moving around on the weather map. They are often referred to as zones of "high pressure" (H) and "low

This is a hands-on lesson for both science and math exploration. Students use tape to explore the forces between charges and come up with a mathematical expression for how that works! They create a

In this hands-on lesson, students will create a sourdough starter to help them explore the wonders of fermentation.

Students will use multiplication and will measure the area of a lot. This lesson plan uses the standards in science about plants, its size and structure. The leaf size is the focus of this lesson in

In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of engineering to design and build a greenhouse.

This is a statistics and technology project that allows students to design a survey to measure the happiness of the student body. The students explore the history of Bhutan, its Gross National

Problem - Solution is a type of text structure. The objective of this lesson is for students to further understand defining problems and identifying solutions. Students will make a 3D model using

Students will build a propulsion system that can deliver a payload to a given location in this engaging paper rocket engineering lesson. Students think critically and problem solve as they work

In this lesson, students perform a lab, and use a materials list to create an "activity series", the inverse of a reduction potential chart. While reduction charts are used more often, the "activity

This lesson allows students to engage with technology, literature, and engineering in a fun and creative manner. It aims to combine literature with technology, providing students with an opportunity

In this lesson, students research and take on role as a contributing scientist to the development of the atomic model. Focus is on interaction between society and science and how they affect each

In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy

In this hands-on lesson, students design and execute an experiment to maximize caffeine extraction when making coffee. The caffeine testing is conducted using a Spectrometer. The focus of this lesson

This high school lesson was created to discuss Martian and potentially future soil on Earth. The overall goal is to achieve biodiversity and health within the soil. It should hold moisture but not too

This lesson demonstrates how you can build a safe with a programmable code to keep your lunch money safe. This is an important technology lesson where the focus is not only on the coding and problem

This hands-on lesson shows how you can use LEGOs (Spike Prime kits) and coding to demonstrate how gravity works and what can be done to counter the gravitational pull.

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

This hands-on lesson is for the use of a hydroponic system. Tower gardens were the systems used, however, if budget is a concern, there is a very affordable option in the plan as well using tanks

The purpose of this lesson is to explore with students the mining process and the potential impacts humans have on ecosystems and their populations. Once completed students should have a deeper

In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed

Around two thousand years ago, weighing an elephant without advanced equipment posed a challenging problem. However, a clever solution was devised by a seven-year-old named Cao Cong. He ingeniously
