This third lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This third lesson has students testing their creations and dissecting why they work and the roles of the different

This second lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This second lesson has students building the kit and taking a safety test. The accompanying lessons are linked in

This first lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This first lesson really introduces students to the soldering kit and the components. Students will need to pass a

In this lesson students will use simulations to collect data about changes in specific traits of a population over time. Students will then use the data create graphical models to explain natural

The lesson introduces Boolean operations as a tool for searching and then relates the effect of the Boolean operator to the similar effect in Boolean logic as a means to introduce Boolean logic and

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete

In this fun lesson, students solve addition or subtraction equations. They will show their answers on a math paper or grid by coding a Bee-Bot to show their answer. This is a great way to incorporate

In this engaging lesson, students will complete a Digital Hieroglyphics escape room. They will also learn how early written language was a form of coding, in that, early civilizations communicated via

In this engaging lesson, students research ramp usage as a class, identify the problem of Dash Dot vs stairs, design a ramp for a Dash Dot, and test the ramp while making connections to literature and

Students will use a Scratch template to make a model of the seasons, one from a view above the ecliptic, one to the side of the ecliptic and then a distance-time graph. Students will be using their

In this interactive lesson, students take three days to create a maze using Gravitrax kits and pieces. Students then use their maze to create a model and explain where they see Newton's Laws of Motion

In this hands-on lesson, students code Edison robots to run races and play tug of war. They will run experiments, measure results, and graph the data. Videos and additional resources are included!

This lesson plan is about the making and testing a solar car. This will take a minimum of two weeks. Solar panels and a motor will be provided. Students can use any safe material of their choice to

In this engaging lesson, students work together to design a water filtration system to separate pollutants from water. This lesson takes about 120 minutes to complete. Various resources are included!

This is the first lesson in a series of 4. Students gain an understanding of the forces that are acting upon a drone when it is flying. They will learn about how thrust, weight, lift and drag work

This lesson plan focuses around 4 key topics, with activities for each. The plan covers renewable energy, solar energy, why solar energy is important, and what the children can do to conserve energy

Using rock salt, ice, juice, and thermometers, students will use their inquiry framework to investigate how slushies are made and see if they are able to replicate the results of a traditional slushy

This middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

The lesson gives an introduction to ASCII as part of a set of lessons that introduces computer science. Students learn what a computer can understand and create a bracelet in this introduction to

This lesson starts by discussing/learning what is matter, the states of matter, and the properties of matter. It continues with what is mass and how to measure it. Two labs follow: density of solids

Students will learn how to bring their images to life by coding movement and will use math skills.

This is the first lesson for the 5th grade life science unit involving environmental factors and organisms. The materials needed are two articles, highlighters, and either a laptop or tablet to

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationship commonly known as Newton's 2nd Law for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment
