Students will set off and observe Wack-a-Pack. Then students will create their own version using Alka Seltzer tabs, water, balloons, and Ziploc bags. They will explore effects of pressure on

This lesson plan is designed to allow students to express their creativity while applying science, technology and math concepts by designing their own dream house.

This lesson includes literacy, math, and art about snowflakes. Within math, students will dive into an analysis of angles within a common snowflake. Students will listen to an informational text about

Students engage in science, math, and technology skills to analyze and interpret data about rain and weather across different regions.

This activity walks students through the basics of using the 3D modeling software TinkerCAD and how to transfer their image to a 3D printer.

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

This lesson is a fantastic way to introduce physical and chemical properties. It includes hands-on stations activities. In this lesson, students will be able to really see the properties of matter at

This is session 4 of a 4 session unit on innovative thinking, agricultural engineering, and farm model making. This is the second session of hands-on farm model making. Students will work with a

This is session 1 of a 4 session unit on innovative thinking, agricultural engineering, and farm model making. The first session introduces students to Dr. Temple Grandin, a creative thinker who has

Student groups research an energy resource topic and organize content in a slide presentation. Notes from group presentations are used to build a foldable.

This is one lesson in a two part lesson set. In this first lesson, students review balanced and unbalanced forces in preparation for how these forces apply to rockets! They will then research rocket

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.

The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be

This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons

This ice core activity takes place within a lesson on climate change that utilizes PBS Learning Media. The teacher will build ice cores for students to investigate and gather data. Students will use

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Students will learn and explain about pollination and how it helps plants to grow and reproduce. After reading about pollinators, students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers

In this unit, students will study the effects of air pollution and engineer an environmentally friendly air filter to reduce pollutants in the air using common household items and recycled materials

Students will be able to observe and recognize that a thermometer is a device that is used to measure a change in temperature.

Over two days students will build lego mazes to code their Sphero minis through. Materials needed are; the planning page, legos, Sphero minis, Sphero EDU App, iPads, and Lego build plates.

Students construct models of various molecules, create histograms of the frequency of elements, and diagram parts of an atom. Students will deepen their understanding of matter--that tiny particles

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad and allow them to apply their skills to create a model car. It will also help them develop their
