This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are

Students investigate options for covering a unique shaped pool with circular solar pool covers. This lesson includes using a scaled drawing to create calculations and creating a proposal.

Students will design a keychain in Tinkercad, strengthening their understanding of metric units and design, while also using the following mathematical vocabulary: volume, prism, cylinder, millimeters

This STEM activity is designed to be used with an animal habitat lesson. Students will create a UV animal using color changing UV beads and design a shelter to protect the animal from harmful UV light

This STEM activity is designed to explore force, motion, friction, and speed with a student-friendly and engaging activity. Students will plan and create a marble maze using simple materials. Material

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

This lesson plan is about the phases of the moon. It can be used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. This is a hands-on activity that would help students explore the explanations about the movement

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

Students will use multiple modes of learning to learn about how force is affected by mass changes. The book Newton and Me will be read aloud and used for a discussion. Finally students will construct

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.
