Lesson 3 in this series focuses on hands-on engagement with electrical circuits using the EUDAX Physics Science Lab Learning Circuit Kit. Students will construct both simple and complex circuits

In this lesson the students will develop the code they previously planned out and will deploy their code to the drone. They will continue the process of reflection and iterative improvement. This is

This is a lesson where students will learn about the sensors that are integrated into their drones and how students can get a live feed of information from these sensors to aid in autonomous decision

In this lesson students will think back on all of the coding skills they have learned and will plan out their code to fly their drone through their maze based on sensor feedback. It is important that

This is an investment lesson where students will learn about how to code with loops and logical statements and they will test what they learn by developing code to fly their drones. This one lesson

This lesson is an opportunity for students to learn about the past, the interesting field of nuclear radiation, and future implications to humanity as we encounter it in our spaces.

This is a lesson plan which draws importance to the ability of trees to carbon sequester in urban areas. As the world urbanizes more and more each day, it is important for our health to emphasize

This is part of an Ecology Unit, where students will create a food web using a set of cards. Students will identify the organisms in the different trophic levels, create a series of food chains, then

This is a lesson geared toward junior high and high school classes to introduce students to the idea of cryptography and encryption. This lesson could be simplified for younger students by removing

In this creative lesson, students choose to be heroes saving an endangered species or to be villains eradicating an endangered species. They create their origin story, finance a plan, and end with a

In this engaging lesson, students move the learning from within the classroom to outside its walls in order to study and record air quality readings (with no tech and tech applications). Students gain

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

This outstanding multi-day lesson covers the anatomical design of the respiratory system. Students will work on a basic model project to simulate breathing action and the diaphragm. They will also

This lesson is designed for Day 3. Students use outside resources to modify and test helmet effectiveness with Pocketlab sensors. In this hands-on lesson, students will create a prototype and run

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be

This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted for 9th to 12th grade, dual enrollment and AP Physics.

This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that

In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the

In this engaging lesson, students will connect the path of a straw rocket to the arc of a parabola. By changing the angle of the launcher, they will discover the relationship between distance and

Have you ever wondered what the real reason was as to why Galaga was such a popular arcade game? Look no further this lesson has you covered. Students will create their very own modern version of

This is a fun unit that will discuss drones and gives students the opportunity to build an obstacle course to fly the drones through.

This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by

This lesson allows robotics students to redesign a working floor vacuum and design it to fit the needs of a robotics lab - it should be able to pick up heavier and larger objects or loose parts off

After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to
