It's LEGO time! In this hands-on lesson, students design robot cars that can park themselves safely without driver intervention. This can be done with LEGO EV3 or Spike Prime robots. Let the challenge
In this engineering design activity lesson, students will first learn about Civil Engineers. Then, students will be given an engineering challenge to design a tower with specific constraints. They are
Studnets will be inspired to make a Lego Balloon car after listening and watching about lego cars. Students will be amazed as they engineer their very own Lego cars and making them move using a
Students will create a scary monster that meets criteria and then present their monsters to their peers. You can use this with the book "I Need My Monster" or other themed books. You can also add in
Students will engineer their very own LEGO planter by using LEGOs and LEGO bases! This fun and engaging lesson incorporates science and math with the world of LEGOs. Students first listen to a story
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may
In this lesson, students apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law and describe the amount of current that flows through and the amount of voltage across a parallel circuit. They do these by exploring the
Students will create a flying machine that will hold a pilot, travel down a zipline, and meet other constraints. This is paired with the book Rosie Revere, Engineer or can be used as a fun intro to
You are a computer programmer giving a computer step by step instructions. You will be programing a code giving the computer simple commands to be carried out by the computer. You are completing a
Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow
Understanding and studying energy transfer produced by molecules collisions can be difficult and abstract for them. To make it easier for them to visualize, creating a Newton's Cradle will help them
A high school physics plan that allows students to explore with different lenses and lasers.

In this lesson, students will be learning about solar energy and how it may be used to solve problems. After reading and comparing two texts about solar energy, students will use simple materials to
This is the 3rd part of the lesson series where students will determine the thrust and stability of their water bottle rockets to answer their essential question: Using the Design Process how can we
Students will understand how we see objects. They will learn that your eyes see objects when light hits an object and reflects off the object into your eye. They will also be able to identify the
In this lesson students will create a model to investigate how a location's temperature may change during an El Niño year. Students will construct landforms in a tray and then fill the tray with water
In this lesson, students will be given a region where they will need to research and collect data with their groups to determine patterns and formulate predications about the types of disasters that
Students will work to discover an understanding of the part light plays in seeing color. They will work with looking at colors in red and blue light. They will expand on what they explore during these
Lesson objective: Students will explore how to create a lighting design that enhances the purpose of a song in a Broadway show through a “Broadway Song Lighting Design” Performance Project. In this
Students will use a budget sheet to 'buy' materials for the challenge. They will be applying their knowledge of decimals to add up their total as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills
