For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype
In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph
Students will apply physics and engineering principles to design and construct a functional mini-golf course using homemade materials.
Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated
Students take plants that they have already sprouted from seed in prior lessons and now will investigate how that plant changes when basic needs are blocked. Students create a dark box maze and
Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.
Your job is to build an aqueduct that will supply the Roman cities with clean water to private homes, public baths and glorious fountains. With this success, the citizens will drink clean water
Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a
Students design a 3D bubble wand in Tinkercad and print on a 3D printer.
Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard
In this lesson, students will explore how sound moves through physical matter by building a cup and string "telephone." Following testing their design, students will create a video or podcast to
Students explore the solar system by conducting research and display their knowledge through creative writing and poetry.
How is Res going to collect samples from Mars? Can you use Edison to design a collector that can help Res collect Mars samples? In this lesson students will use Edison to design a sample collector
Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of
Students will focus is on the historical time period of 1763- 1900 CE. The objective is to select a historically accurate person and research the person's story. Then students will plan, create
Students will use known geographical features to identify landforms on images from the Mars Orbital Reconnaissance Satellite.
Students explore the solar system and space concepts (including microgravity, eclipses, etc.) using technology. Student choice is given with a choice board.
The "Virtual Reality (VR) Exploration: Building a 3D Solar System" lesson is an exciting and immersive STEM experience designed for 8th-grade students. In this lesson, students delve into the world of
The "Solar-Powered Water Purification System" lesson is an engaging and hands-on STEM experience for 4th-grade students. In this lesson, students explore the importance of clean water and learn how
Explore temperature and weather with students. Teachers will guide students through this graphing and research activity. The unit opens with a literacy component, Global Warming with Seymour Simon
In this lesson students explore the relationship between pigmentation and light absorbance. Students will use a spectrophotometer to analyze pigment samples and record the absorption spectrum for
Students build a wind turbine and test how much work it can do. Students also use data about wind energy production to complete a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning assignment.
In this lesson, the students will plan and carry out investigations to explore sound propagation and its characteristics through simple activities. They will discover in which medium sound travels
NASA needs Resilience to take pictures to send back to Earth for observation. Resilience needs a cell phone holder that can take pictures or videos from multiple views. Can you use Edison to design a
