The lesson will help teachers and students who are learning the basics of 3D printing. There will be a list of vocabulary, video, student discussion, sketching a prototype and using Tinkercad to

This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car

The lesson objective to introduce students to the engineering process. Students will be able to implement basic engineering concepts and problem-solving skills using the Wonder Dash robot and LEGO

Use the Edison robots to tell a story from the perspective of an immigrant/emigrant moving through the US during the time period of 1700-to 1900 as it fits 5th grade Social Science Standards. Students

This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.

In Arizona, rain a major component of the water cycle, is a precious and vital. Students will gain an understanding of the three phase of watrer on the earth: solid, liquid and gas and the four stages

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic

Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered

Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute

This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.

In this lesson your second grade students will create a sun dial and track the movement of the sun in the sky and shadows on the ground. This lesson incorporates student objectives of reading and

In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.

In this lesson the students will explore the formation of rocks as the result of the flow of energy and cycling of matter within Earth.

In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.

In this lesson, students will use measurement to track the growth of their plants. This lesson includes an editable one page mini-book for each student or pair of students to track growth of their
