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 lesson, students will show how heat transfers into an egg during the hard-boiling process, and additionally, different methods of how heat can transfer out of an egg during the cooling process

In this lesson students analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth from a sample. They will then graphically model that relationship. This is the 4th lesson in a series of 4. Links to

This 90-minute lesson is focused on ELA with integration on Science and Engineering. The lesson will discuss about Ecology for Kids which target skill is getting the main idea and supporting details

This lesson is to introduce students to coding using EdScratch and Edison Robots. Students use LEGOs to build a house for grandma and figure out a way to keep her safe.

This lesson is part of a school-wide project to renovate a greenhouse and create a native seed library. This lesson is intended to create intrinsic motivation to engage in the project. This lesson

In this fun lesson, students will develop a simple sketch and a physical model of a float to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. They will then

Students will create their own cookie cutters to fill a custom order in their bakery. They will need access to 3D design software like Tinkercad and access to a 3D printer. It's even more fun when you

This is lesson 4 out of a unit of 4 lessons about habitats. In the proceeding lessons, students researched habitats and animal adaptations. This lesson is a presentation of information using a variety

In this interactive lesson, students will create a Duplo Lego Vehicle and test how forces affect motion. Students will be placed in groups of 3-4 and be given a force to test. They will decide which

This is about a one hour lesson where students work in small groups of 2-4 to get their robot around their table using estimation of centimeters. Students will write a program in Blockly that gets the

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 fun lesson, students create models of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets that can go on robots. They experiment with light and movement to demonstrate the rotation of sun, earth, and moon using

In this lesson students will gather data about local tree diameters. They will then estimate the approximate age of trees. Students build connections between a tree’s growth and environmental factors

In this engaging lesson, students discover what a volcano is and what causes it to erupt. There is a literacy integration, video resources, and other helpful information included.

In this lesson students are going to learn that our solar system is part of many galaxies within our universe. The materials needed are paper plates, color pencils, scissors, paper, pencils, and iPad

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

This lesson takes place over three hour-long, before- school STEAM club meetings. Students will discuss and learning about weather and climate. Then they will complete an engineering challenge to

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 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!

Within this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a device that will protect an egg from a two-story drop. They work within small groups and test their creation and

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

This lesson plan includes ideas and materials centered on Mark Kelly's book Mousetronaut. The students will be discussing gravity and listening to the book. They will then be participating in an
