In this lesson, students will use the LEGO BricQ Motion Prime set to build a gymnast powered car that can experiment with the three Laws of Motion. Students can modify the car to move in different

This lesson allows students to engage with technology, literature, and engineering in a fun and creative manner. It aims to combine literature with technology, providing students with an opportunity

In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy

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

In this lesson, students will listen to a story about how and why crayons were invented. They will then create a crayon tower and record data. This is the 1st lesson in a series of 2.

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on

In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed

Third grade students will apply their knowledge of the significance of bee pollination by designing and creating a Wild Bee Hotel in a collaborative group which will incorporate literacy, mathematical

Around two thousand years ago, weighing an elephant without advanced equipment posed a challenging problem. However, a clever solution was devised by a seven-year-old named Cao Cong. He ingeniously

In this set of hands-on labs, students will explore friction and the effects of different types of surfaces on motion. They will have a chance to test motion with cars as well as create hover board

In this lesson, students will use the story of "The Three Little Superpigs and the Gingerbread Man" as the context to complete a hands-on STEM activity where they are responsible for building a trap

In this engaging lesson, students will construct a small experiment demonstrating the relationship of momentum with mass, and velocity, then record that data. Students will take the data and create a

This is the 2nd lesson is a 2-part series. Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise

Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise by JPL/NASA starts students off with a

In this creative lesson, students focus on inertia while exploring the magnetic compass and its errors while flying an aircraft.

In this hands-on lesson, students will demonstrate their understanding of robotics and coding by creating a course for their robot to move on. The course will include turns, circles and straight ways.

In this hands-on lesson, students explore unbalanced forces through a variety of learning experiences and reading material. They then create simple machines to demonstrate unbalanced forces.

Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will: Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans Build

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about the discipline of structural engineering by using the engineering design process to create a load-bearing structure. The purpose of this lesson is to
