Get ready to learn about density! This is a density lab involving hot and cold-water layering, salt density layers, and a PHET online lab simulation.
Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases
This lesson could be a Part II for the 3D modeling atomic theory lesson using Tinkercad, or this lesson can be delivered independently. In this lesson students fill out an atomic theory timeline and
Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline
Making a wave machine to learn about the parts of the wave. This is the foundational learning piece before heading into the seismic building challenge.
Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also
In this lesson, first-grade students will explore the concept of resource sharing in nature using dioramas. The lesson is designed to help students understand that living things, such as plants and
In this lesson, you'll witness the sparkle in your student's eyes as they become Candytopia explorers and chemists, making observations, grouping candies, and creating their own Candy Periodic Table
Ballooning Spider Phenomenon
Lesson Description: In this first-grade lesson, we will learn about the amazing world of spiders! We'll start by exploring the life cycle of a spider, from when it hatches to how it grows and changes
This lesson incorporates science, math and writing. Students will get to make and taste grilled cheeses and determine what ingredients and what methods they think will make the best grilled cheese
This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and
In this lesson, students will first learn the importance of using reliable tools when gathering data in an experiment. When given common acidic and basic substances, students will then begin to
The students will create an interactive diorama using the Hummingbird Robotics kit on Natural Disasters. The students will choose their Natural Disaster that they want to bring to life, complete a
Students will be researching engineering design features that can be utilized to create buildings that can more effectively withstand the effects of a major earthquake. Students will work within a
Students will read the original version of The Three Little Pigs and then explore different versions of the story. After exploring, they will complete a compare & contrast chart on two or three of the
Students will read and explore the idea of leprechauns and traps. Then, using the Engineering Design Process students will have to build a leprechaun trap.
In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion while building a functional pinball machine out of recycled materials and classroom items. Let students get creative and
This is a multi-day project using the Engineering Design Process where students build and test a machine using at least 5 simple machines and identify all the energy transformations that occur in
This lesson plan aims to incorporate Science, Engineering, and Math subjects into the Digital Book Project. Students paraphrase in simple words the explanations of chemical reactions in everyday life
Pocket Creature Build Challenge
In this build challenge, students will work in teams build a small creature out of recycled materials that serves a purpose. This outstanding lesson is easily customizable to engage in various science
In this lesson, the students will observe matter that has endured a temperature change. They will make predictions about what they think will happen to a form of matter after choosing if it will be
In this lesson, students perform a lab, and use a materials list to create an "activity series", the inverse of a reduction potential chart. While reduction charts are used more often, the "activity
In this lesson, students research and take on role as a contributing scientist to the development of the atomic model. Focus is on interaction between society and science and how they affect each
In this lesson, students will listen to a story about how crayons are made. Students will then observe the effects of temperature on matter as they make "new" crayons. This is the 2nd lesson in a
