Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating Math and Computer Science. With prompting and support, students will be able to Identify coins by name and value using Sphero.

Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating ELA and Computer Science. Students will be able to identify words and phrases in stories that suggest feelings. Students will also use

Students will be identifying the unknown minerals by looking at cleavage, fracture, luster, streak, hardness, and density. This is a hands on activity where students will place their data on a data

In this investigation, 9th grade students will design and construct a car to test against classmates for the fastest car in the class. Students will test, collect data, calculate and share data with

During this lesson, the students are going to simulate the flow of electricity using positive and negative charges drawn on pieces of paper that they will pass around in circles. Instead of passing

Students will learn how robots help complete repetitive tasks for humans. Robots use a series of steps that are programed into their circuits. It must be done systematically and include each step, in

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 work together to identify the systems by using a preserved frog. The systems that will be studied are the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory system. Prior to these

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

This is a two part lesson for students to have fun with robots! In this first part, encourage reading in a fun way! Students choose a book they have read and write down the story elements. They will

An engaging read-aloud lesson integrating ELA & Computer Science. Students will listen to Balloons Over Broadway and be able to complete a compare & contrast diagram. Students will also complete a

Students will use live seedlings and available information about seedling and the Sun's energy to determine the best location for the plant to thrive.

In this activity, students will complete a Web Quest to find the diameter of the Earth, Moon, and Sun AND will observe how the Earth orbits around the Sun and how the moon rotates around the Earth by

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

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.

Students use a solar panel and motor to create a solar-powered amusement park ride that spins. Activity designed for students to work in teams. Students are provided solar cells, motors, propellors
