Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.
This is part 2 of a unit. The other lessons are linked within each lesson. During this lesson, students will be encouraged to collaborate and imagine different solutions in order to connect the sides
In this engaging lesson, students will design and build a Mars Resource Transport (basically a wagon) on wheels and axles. They have to meet build criteria based on volume and a budget for resources
This hands-on lesson allows students to engage in the engineering design process by building a new vision technology with applications of convex and concave lenses. This is the 3rd lesson in a series
In this Part 1 of 2, students will be building background knowledge on the human eye and camera. Students will be looking at the structure and function of both. Students will be working in small
In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
In this lesson students use a picture book to look for cause and effect relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystems using systems thinking strategies. Students create a
In this hands-on lesson, students will use robotics to create an automated system that simulates the cleanup of a natural disaster. In this case, a nuclear reactor explosion. Students will program
This lesson provides opportunity to our students to apply their knowledge in solving real world problems. The students will create a new design for a cereal box using math, art and design. They also
How can we design and engineer sports venues of the future that practice sustainability? According to the Green Sports Alliance, 17% of the world's population follows science but about 80% follow
This lesson expands upon ASU's Ask a Biologist "Monster Manual" Activity to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Students learn about DNA and how we inherit traits through an analogy of decoding a
In this lesson, students will learn about the different types of flying machines and differentiate between them and identify the different parts of a drone. They will also learn about their functions.
In this lesson, students apply what they learn about series and parallel circuits in building their concept of electrical power. They experiment and gather evidence through PHET Circuit Construction
This lesson is Part 2 of an engineering challenge. In Cooling Structure Challenge Part 2 students will use what they learned when they designed, built, and tested their prototype in Part 1. Often we
This 2-Day STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the sun and solar system (including our planet, the moon, and asteroids), and is intended to focus on
Students recreate a unique Operation board game with a circuit that lights with an LED and buzzes with a piezo. Students use the Engineering Design Process to plan and document their process. Students
What are we learning? We are learning about the history of the Mars Rover program and how scientists had to work together to solve problems and make sure the rover landed safely on the Red Planet. We
In this integrated STEM + Math lesson, students will learn about and then create blueprints. This lesson demonstrates how blueprints can be used as part of the process in solving real world challenges
Design Challenge: · Introduce the design challenge (25 mins total) You’re rushing to make your flight to Disney World when you trip and drop an important item into a storm drain. You only have items
This lesson integrates literature / ELA standards with Science& Engineering Practices and is designed for K-1. The lesson involves a read aloud of the story "The Little Wooden Robot and the Log
