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

Students will use geometric reasoning and the engineering design process to construct solar ovens while learning about renewable energy.

This is the fourth and fifth lessons of 7 in the Take-Off & Landing unit. This unit is the first for the Aeronautics 2 students. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from

This is the third lesson of 7 in the Take-Off & Landing unit. This unit is the first for the Aeronautics 2 students. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from Aeronautics 1

This is the first of 7 Take-Off & Landing Lessons. This unit is the start the Aeronautics 2 lessons. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from Aeronautics 1 course. (See

This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to

This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to

This is part 2 of a two part lesson called Sailing Down the Road. In this lesson students will design a sail that can successfully catch the wind and cause their cardboard car (from part 1) to drive

This is lesson 4 of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This is lesson 3 of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This is lesson 2 of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This is lesson one of a 4 lesson unit. Students will apply the engineering design process with a problem scenario focusing on thermal energy efficiency in a home. The unit incorporates collecting

This lesson takes two days or class periods since it is an exploration of energy in the lives of the students. Day 1 involves 8 different scenarios. Day 2 is an exploration of how efficient two

The objective of this lesson is to engage students in the practical application of science, engineering, and critical thinking skills to design and create a container that effectively keeps perishable

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

In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and

I use this egg drop/crash lesson as an introduction to Energy and Energy Transfer in physics. Students understand basic kinematics, but I generally conduct this lesson before projectile motion, but it

This lesson includes fourth grade reading, writing, math, science, and engineering standards. The potential is endless with additional enrichment activities. Students participate in the nurturing and

In part one of this two-part lesson series, students will learn about (or review) the force of push and pull and how this applies to energy transfer. Students will gain an understanding of these

Through this project, students will explore the concept of the "robot brain" and its relation to AI. Understand the basics of circuits as a model for the functionality of a robot brain. Create a paper

Students will discover the different facets of building a business including product and market research, marketing, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.

Students will discover the many different facets of building a business including product research, marketing, finances, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.
