This is lesson plan two of three in a skateboard building unit that applies Newtons Laws to skateboarding. Students will learn the parts of a skateboard, construct a simple skateboard, learn safety
This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.
In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.
In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.
Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.
In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn
Students will develop and create a sail option that will propel their lego cars.
GROWING CRYSTALS PART 1, A lesson that focuses on the different types of formation of crystalline solid, its properties and the attractive forces responsible to it during chemical bonding. It is
This lesson plan describes the different process points of construction of a Truss Bridge and why these bridges are useful. This lesson plan includes objectives, assessments and some samples of Truss
This lesson has students watching a baby plant and seeing what it will grow into. Students are able to compare the seedling with an adult plant, and determine how the plant cycles from seed to adult
Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.
Students will use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity. This solar energy is transmitted through cables to the motor and then to the fountain. The fountain pressure increases and
This is a detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in
This lesson will take your students through the process of making a lunar phases flipbook. When flipped it will be animated and look like the moon going through each phase. Students will learn the
Introduction to Robotic programming using the Wonder Cue robot with the blaster. Using Block coding or Javascript, teach the students to create a series of instructions that move the robot through a
Students will build an obstacle course for a robot to traverse using geometry concepts. They will build prisms & cylinders and calculate volume and surface area. Once their obstacle course is built
This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra
This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.
Simple Machine: Pulley, helping Rapunzel escape the tower
Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant
Students will investigate the difference between amplitude and frequency to see which one transfers more energy. Students will collect data, graph their data, and complete a written conclusion.
This is a fun, low-prep activity. All you need is some cards and marbles. Students will build towers that are capable of holding a bucket of marbles. Once the groups have been tested, you will discuss
Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They
Students will discover: I put rotted food into a container with earthworms, where did the food go?
