This thematic unit has four lessons which will introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, student will learn how to
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
This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step-by-step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring
In this hands-on lesson, students collaborate with partners to create a game in which they practice their multiplication and division facts. This is an engaging way for students to develop fact
Students get hands-on learning about 2D cross sections of 3D objects with this creative food lesson! From brownies to pickles, students will use food to describe what a cross section is of a 3D shape
In this hands-on lesson, students will use technology (or paper/ pencil) to create a monster using specific polygons. They will measure and describe their monster to a partner who will then re-create
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 create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots
Students will be asked to design and build a playground using the given materials construction paper, toilet paper/paper towel rolls, jumbo/regular popsicle sticks, and glue/tape. They will learn
As part of a unit on renewable energy, students build and collect data on a solar powered fan. They learn about agrivoltaics and build a model of a racking system. They explore angles and energy use.
Students will apply their knowledge of food chains within ecosystems to the design of a mandala. This lesson will combine science, visual art and geometry. First, students will get a review of food
Students design a 3D bubble wand in Tinkercad and print on a 3D printer.
This lesson plan will give you an idea on how to deliver the Area of Rectangles topic to your classes which will make your students enjoy and interact during the discussion. This will require some
This lesson allows the students to experience the life of an interior designer. The students will be tasked to use their knowledge on area and perimeter as they design a layout for their own classroom
Students use Edison robots to create and code a large path (or maze) of their own design for Edison to navigate. Students should already be familiar with Edison robots to be successful in this task.
After learning about Ancient Egypt, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Egyptian Pyramid Prototype. Each group will be challenged to build a 4-sided pyramid that
In this hands-on lesson, students use Dash Robots to retell a story, using key events along the path that Dash travels. Helpful resources included!
Students will listen to the story "Iggy Peck Architect" and create a bridge using available materials to see if it can carry weight. They will explore engineering as they plan, construct, and test
This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are
After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.
This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider
