The lesson introduces Boolean operations as a tool for searching and then relates the effect of the Boolean operator to the similar effect in Boolean logic as a means to introduce Boolean logic and

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete

This engaging lesson places an emphasis on how oil adversely affects the environment and animal habitats. Students complete a hands-on activity to replicate an oil spill and then develop a

This is Task 2 (Lesson 2) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room.” Students will be constructing Pangea with their group after reviewing the concepts.

In this fun lesson, students solve addition or subtraction equations. They will show their answers on a math paper or grid by coding a Bee-Bot to show their answer. This is a great way to incorporate

Can a water fountain be solar powered? YES! In this engaging lesson, students will engineer a solar powered water fountain to show how energy transformed and transferred throughout their system. Each

Students will be working with creating series and parallel circuits. Students will gain an understanding of the components used to create circuits and how circuits function in our everyday lives.

Students discover kite-making in this hands-on lesson! They create a kite with a variety of materials and test out the final product. This lesson can be adapted to fit different grade levels.

This 90-minute lesson is focused on ELA with integration on Science and Engineering. The lesson will discuss about Ecology for Kids which target skill is getting the main idea and supporting details
