This last lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This fourth lesson allows students to reflect upon what they have learned in this mini unit and create something to

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

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 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

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

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

This is a two day lesson plan where the first day a local accountant will come and present about investments and their exponential properties, followed by a small activity to help make the nature of

This lesson involves students calculating the density of various objects of differing sizes of the same substance. Each student group will need a balance, a ruler, and/or a graduated cylinder. They

Students code robots to match different distance time graphs. For each graph the teacher stamps their paper and they move on to the next more difficult one. Students will be able to replicate the

In this hands-on lesson, students learn how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones, there is a discussion about preparing

This engaging lesson is designed to simulate how scientists look for patterns in evidence to make claims, and back them up with reasoning. There are some important takeaways that students will make

Students in this lesson will be recording weather data for the city that each student has chosen for 2-3 weeks. Students will be able to record and analyze weather patterns for a selected city

• Student teams will work together in small groups to identify important story elements in a familiar story, then develop a plot diagram using Bee-Bots. • In a small group, students will use code to

Students will create their own cut-out stop motion animation videos using the iMotion app. Students will learn about stop motion animation, plan and create a storyboard, and then actually engineer the
