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

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 learn to identify some common household substances whether it is acid or base using red cabbage juice.

Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic

Wildfires are a huge issue in Arizona during the dry season as there is plenty of dry fuel and very little water. Once an area has been devastated by fire, it is further destroyed by summer monsoons

Introduction to VR, AR, and MR technologies that could change the way we work, teach, entertain, vacation, and socially interact. This lesson starts bringing students up to speed on the current state

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

In this lesson, students show what they know about animal adaptations! Students will test out a variety of bird "beaks" and how capable they are of picking up different types of bird "foods". Then

Students will research and understand bird evolution. They will identify the functions of body parts and ecosystems. They will predict evolutionary changes that a specific bird will go through and the

Students design and build air powered gliders in this engaging lesson. This is a fun way to teach and apply principles of force as they apply to flight including lift, gravity, thrust, and drag

This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening

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 plan focuses on the following standards : HS.P3U2.7 Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to

In this lesson, students create a brand new species of animal! Designed to be an end-of-unit activity after students have learned about different environments and animal adaptations, students will

In this lesson students will use simulations to collect data about changes in specific traits of a population over time. Students will then use the data create graphical models to explain natural
