In this unit, students will study the effects of acid rain and chemically engineer an environmentally friendly solution to neutralize the acid in a simulated river contaminated by factory run-off

In this lesson, students will learn about simple circuits, then create a simple circuit using copper tape, LED's, and batteries. Finally, they will construct a 3D model of a haunted house and use

Summary Each of the first two Basic Handling lessons is approximately 5 minutes in length. The onboard “Flight Instructor” will instruct student trainees on what they should be doing and interacting

This lesson takes place in as classroom for one or more 60 minute class periods. The data collection portion may continue for 2+ weeks (or whatever time frame you decide). An emphasis is placed on the

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

Power point with parts of a flower, worksheets and short quiz provided

Students will be working together to clean up an oil spill. They will discover what an oil spill is, what causes it, and what the effects are. The simulation is made using tinfoil baking dishes

This engaging lesson is all about reverse engineering! Students will read and discuss the hook “A.I. Apocalypse”. They learn all about reverse engineering during this project as they determine a

Students will learn about energy and how it relates to growing plants in this first part of a 4 part lesson. Materials needed: copy of parent signature form, student handbook. Agenda: What is Energy

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

In this lesson, students will identify the significance mean, median, and mode while collecting data and making observations about a collection of items in their home. Making these connections will

Students create a video-tutorial that talks about Direct and Inverse Variation in this creative lesson. This material will showcase their full understanding about the type of variation they have

This lesson is the final project in a unit that focuses on circuitry. The task is for students to plan, design, and test a 3D house using electrical circuits that function correctly. To add more

This lesson took place in a 90 minute after school STEM club (could work in 2 - 45 minute class periods). Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on sample collection and analytical

The students will create a Three Sisters Garden by participating in a teamwork activity, listening to a read aloud, watching a video, creating a diagram, planting the garden, and creating a video

Create a Bee-Bot board game, and program the Bee-Bot to move through the game board. Students will use the steps of the engineering design process as they work as a team to create and play their game

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

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

Integrating the Arts into Earth and Space is a culminating or review activity for 5th grade. This lesson is comprised of five engaging activities for students to complete: Collaborative Storytelling
