This STEAM project will have us exploring some of the issues or problems associated with food and creating solutions to educate and persuade our community about how our food is produced and making the

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

In this lesson, students will get creative with materials to rescue an unfortunate worm. After completing this activity students will have a much better concept of what the 'T" in STEM really means

In this lesson students will be able to program Dash to retell the story they read. Students will be able to run their algorithm and debug as necessary. An added challenge is for students to create a

Students will explore the role that decomposers play in the nitrogen cycle. First students will gather information through research and activities to construct a model of the nitrogen cycle. Then

This lesson allows students to work in teams to determine the specific function of an organelle in the cell. Rather than having students try and memorize the function of each organelle, the focus is

In this hands-on lesson, students match a subitize card to the corresponding number using a Bee-Bot. Students may work in small groups of 2-4 to program an algorithm on the Bee-Bots. They will be able

In this engaging lesson, students will program a Bee-Bot and answer prompts that describe familiar topics, likes, dislikes and family members. This is a beginning of the year activity. Students will

In this hands-on lesson, students program a Bee-Bot and name the student, teacher, principal, or important places at your school. This is a beginning of the year activity. Students will be coding a

Bee-Bot is ready for math! In this engaging lesson, students break apart numbers and make different combinations of numbers to make a whole number. Students will be using a Bee-Bot to code and show

In this lesson, students will design and test solutions to protect their homes during monsoon flooding. They will discuss flooding in Arizona and then research ways to protect their homes. Students

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

This lesson will allow students to learn more about 3D printing design and the engineering process. Students will brainstorm different needs in their community and people who could benefit from

Students will identify a problem, time-telling, and use it to create sundials. They will conduct an experiment and use the data to show how the sun moves in relation to the Earth in the sky. After

This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for

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

Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by avoiding their predators. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able to
