Students explore the world of the lesser long-nosed bat through a self-paced hyperdoc. This unassuming bat is responsible for pollinating some the most magnificent desert cacti. It faced extinction in

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 lesson is part of a school-wide project to renovate a greenhouse and create a native seed library. This lesson is intended to create intrinsic motivation to engage in the project. This lesson

Students learn how to identify the 3 axes an aircraft uses while in flight in this lesson. They learn key vocabulary and construct a model airplane to develop further understanding of flight!

This can be taught at different grade levels, diving deeper when possible. Just delete what you don’t need. Students will be creating their own crystal by following the scientific method, collecting

An ELA Lesson Plan focusing on Stormalong story with integration on Science and Engineering. Understanding characters, figurative language (hyperbole) and comparing two stories are the focus of this

In this engaging lesson, students explore the forces of flight and use the Engineering Design Process to improve the flight times and distance traveled with a paper airplane. Resources are included

In this engaging lesson, students research ramp usage as a class, identify the problem of Dash Dot vs stairs, design a ramp for a Dash Dot, and test the ramp while making connections to literature and

In this lesson students will discuss how contact forces cause energy to be transferred and objects to move. They will learn that sound waves involve contact forces. Students will consider how contact

After watching a video of the space station, students will design and build a model space station containing certain requirements. Students will use scale in order to create a blue print and then

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 lesson is designed to allow students the experience to move from an additive understanding in mathematics to a multiplicative understanding through this activity called Cootie Catcher. The

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

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

In this engaging lesson, students explore and observe thermal shock by watching marbles bake and placed in ice water. Science and math concepts are covered in this unique lesson as well as visual arts

To demonstrate their understanding of how energy is passed throughout an ecosystem and the symbiotic relationships of organisms within an ecosystem, students construct a food web marble run. This

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.

In this lesson, students will create a model of the solar system by shrinking the dimensions of the distances. Students will read an informational text about the features of the planets and view a

In this lesson, students will be able to analyze and communicate evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of objects. They conduct research to provide evidence of the

In this engaging lesson, students will discover that technology is not limited to electronics and cars, but that it is all around us. It is essential for students to understand that most things were

In this interactive lesson, students will create a Duplo Lego Vehicle and test how forces affect motion. Students will be placed in groups of 3-4 and be given a force to test. They will decide which

Students will learn basic concepts of physics, including velocity, motion, and vector. S tudents will develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance. Finally students will

• Student teams will work together in small groups to identify important story elements in a familiar story, then develop a plot diagram using Bee-Bots. • In a small group, students will use code to
