In this lab, we will be completing a set of tasks that will help us develop a better understanding of the formation and parts of both transverse and longitudinal waves.

This lesson, is one to make your students taste buds jump for joy as they get to create their very own edible eyeball cookie. This is a great STEM lesson to use when learning about the parts and

In this engaging and interactive lesson, students explore adaptation and creative problem-solving. Inspired by "The Great Turkey Race," students will engage in a hands-on engineering lesson to design

Students will go through the process of counting pumpkin seeds and analyzing data through mean, median and mode as well as creating correlating graphs. Students will learn what causes fruit

This lesson includes academic areas for ELA, math, and coding. The lessons are completed with students in small groups effectively using their collaboration skills to completed the assingments and

This lesson teaches students what coding actually is and how it enables us to program robots to do specific tasks. Using a simulated coding activity, students will begin to understand how coding works

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

This lesson plan focuses on force and how it can be applied through the paper ball launcher. Students will build a launcher using the engineering design process and use the model to hit a target at

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

Students will read the story "If I Built a House" and then record their elements of the story on index cards. Next they will design and build a House of Cards using index cards.

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
