This lesson is based on a Navajo Story: "The Three Little Sheep". The story connects to the famous, "The Three Little Pigs". Students become engineers and create different dwelling models: a grass hut
Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is
In this unique and engaging lesson, students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes. They will collaborate and communicate effectively with their
This is part of an introduction to EdScratch using Edison Robots. Students will model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on experience for students to explore life science concepts using
This lesson is an introduction to Tangible Coding and Sequencing to model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on way to incorporate coding and robots with life science concepts. This is a 2-part
In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how
In this hands-on lesson, students illustrate and find the area and perimeter of the rockwool pattern. They also create an expression to represent the number of seeds needed to plant their rockwool
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency
This lesson is an introduction to CAD, possibly leading up to 3D printing. The idea is to be familiar with CAD and more specifically the TinkerCAD application.
In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will
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
The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of
This lesson is part two of evidence of the big bang theory. Students investigate red shift and blue shift and how it supports the expansion of the universe. They will complete an online simulation
This is an introductory lesson that focuses on kinetic energy, the energy of motion, potential energy, the energy of future motion, their relation to each other, the effect of Earth's gravity on an
Aerospace to Sports explores the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls. Students learn about how the industry employs engineering
Students will set off and observe Wack-a-Pack. Then students will create their own version using Alka Seltzer tabs, water, balloons, and Ziploc bags. They will explore effects of pressure on
Students will ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
This lesson plan is designed to allow students to express their creativity while applying science, technology and math concepts by designing their own dream house.
This lesson includes activities to help build equitable background knowledge before reading the book A Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly. These activities include setting up science notebooks, building
SNOW
This lesson includes literacy, math, and art about snowflakes. Within math, students will dive into an analysis of angles within a common snowflake. Students will listen to an informational text about
Students will explore weathering of solid rock and how it changes over time. They will use a sugar cube to represent the rock and test the effects of a rock at the top of the mountain and what occurs
What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee or another pollinator flies from flower to flower? Why is pollination important? How
Students will be creating their own arcade games with recycled materials. One idea can change the world! During this activity students will be going through the engineering design process.
Students engage in science, math, and technology skills to analyze and interpret data about rain and weather across different regions.
