This lesson is an introduction to the Edison Robots and how they work with barcodes for coding. This lesson will give students the opportunity to become familar with the parts of the Edison as well as
Students will explore the drought in Arizona and design a solution for it. They will create their design in a 3D design program, write an informational paper, and present the design and information to
This lesson is to be used as a follow up activity when learning about the water cycle. Students are able to play a game either digitally or physically to demonstrate their own journey through the
In this lesson, students will extract chlorophyll from spinach leaves and make different concentrations following the dilution method. Students will learn to compare the absorbance values obtained at
In this lesson, students will explore the different pigments in green plants using spinach leaves. Students will identify the pigments by doing a lab using paper chromatography. They will observe the
Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument
The owl pellet dissection is an engaging lesson where students will be looking closely at regurgitated pellets and discovering energy transfer through the owl and their prey. Students will be creating
After learning about emission spectra, electron energy levels, orbitals and configurations, and periodic trends for atomic radius and ionization energy; this is concluding activity that require
This is a phenomena-based introduction to how emission spectra of elements and the connection to electrons and energy levels. Students first get to explore the emission spectra of several gases using
Radioactive Orbs
This lesson focuses on using the engineering design process and simple machines to design a device that the students can use to safely transport radioactive orbs across the span of 8 feet. Students
Students will read and respond to the story, Room on the Broom. Then students will plan and create a sturdy broom to hold as many pumpkin candies as possible.
The "From Farm to Table" unit will provide 2nd grade students with an understanding of the journey food takes from the farm to their tables. Students will explore the water cycle, plant life cycle
This interactive 4th-grade lesson plan focuses on erosion and weathering, key concepts in understanding Earth's geology. In "Dynamic Earth," students use an interactive simulation to explore how
Explore Coal Mine Canyon's wonders! Watch a documentary, read about geology, draw the canyon, and use tech to learn about geological layers. Fun, interactive learning awaits!
This is the second part of two lessons on density. This lesson is on the density of liquids following the first lesson on density of solids. The lesson is a lab on layering several liquids with
This lesson is on density of solids. It's one lesson of two. This lesson should be first since it introduces density but it can be revised and used after the density of liquids. The lesson has a short
This is a lesson designed for 4th and 5th grade. It would come at the end of the unit on Force and Motion. It describes a wonderful machine called a Rube Goldberg Machine. This lesson includes an ELA
DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the molecule of life. DNA exists in every single organism, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal, and is the only known molecule that has the ability to
Makey Makey with The Bionic Kid
Imagine how cool it would be to build a video game controller out of bananas! In this engineering design challenge, you will learn how to use everyday items and a Makey Makey kit to design a
This is a multi-day lesson on the lifecycle of a pumpkin starting with how long it takes for pumpkin seeds to produce a sprout. There is also an art element using geometric shapes to introduce the
In this project, students will choose an environmental problem to research. They will look up why this problem is occurring and how it is harming the environment. Students will then come up with two
This lesson incorporates Math, Science and Reading standards into a pumpkin themed third grade lesson. Students will use a mentor text to relate to the life cycle of a pumpkin, create, compare and
This lesson provides the students an opportunity to learn hands-on. They work as a worm biologist or Annelidologist, observing how the external features of the worm, such as its segmented body and
In this hands-on lesson, students will attempt two builds. Students will identify weaknesses and strengths in both of their structures. They will then evaluate the effectiveness of their builds.
