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 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 engaging lesson is the 2nd lesson in a series of 2 focused on data science inquiry. Students use their My Data Portraits from Lesson 1 for data collection, analysis, presentation, reflection and

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 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 play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.

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 uses knowledge gained in parts 1 and 2 of this lesson. This lesson can be done independently if you do not have the other materials. Students will use many types of Snap Circuit sets to

Students take on the roll of working for an ad agency, creating a new experience that tours the human body. Students will pick one body system and create an entertainment venue that has attractions

Students will make a connection between force, mass, and acceleration (more so velocity). They will design and conduct an experiment to explain how different sized rocks have different outcomes on

This is an unplugged screen free introduction to coding for Kindergarten and 1st grade students. They use colors and arrows to code a robot through a path maze. In parts 1 & 2 students learned about

This is an unplugged screen free introduction to coding for Kindergarten and 1st grade students. They use colors and arrows to code a robot through a path maze. In part 1 students will learn the

Using the Binary alphabet, students will create secret messages that may be found on Valentine's candy hearts.

This lesson includes slides sharing an introduction to 3D printing and how it works. Students will then research ways 3D printing is used in the real world.

Students will use inquiry to see the conversation of energy by burning up oxygen and sugars to see Carbon Dioxide present in a system and create energy.

In this lesson, students will work in small groups of 3-4 to design and engineer a manipulative or activity designed to help practice simplifying expressions. Creative designs for the manipulative

In this five days lesson plan or a class project, I used a picture book, "Seeds of Change: Exploring Wangari Maathai's Tree-Planting Efforts". This lesson plan is great for 6th -8th-grade students. In

In this lesson students will demonstrate their deeper understanding of how the concept of slope is applied to the real-world construction of the wheelchair access ramp. Students will use the knowledge

This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable

This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that

In this lesson, students will code Edison robots to travel through the rock cycle. Students will describe characteristics of the metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks to create legos models

As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.

In this lesson, students will combine the fields of coding and robotics with music to program an Ozobot to "sing" a familiar song. Students will learn about music concepts such as notes and octaves

In this lesson, students will participate in a hands-on activity to learn about area and perimeter while also learning about structures and functions of plants by designing a garden space that
