This is part of an introduction to EdScratch using Edison Robots. Students will model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on experience for students to explore life science concepts using
In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency
In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will
The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of
In this hands-on lesson, students will explore the water cycle and learn how it works. Students will be able to make their own model and observe the water cycle in class. They create an art piece and
In this lesson students will identify the four seasons. They will then explore how trees change with the seasons and how that impacts what humans wear and act. Students will also count to four and
In this lesson kindergarten students will explore their 5 senses and determine how they can be used in the garden. There is a literacy integration and nature walk within the lesson along with
Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
This STEM lesson is designed to explore electrical circuits and engage in a hands-on activity to create, label, and identify the differences between parallel and series circuits. Students will develop
Aerospace to Sports explores the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls. Students learn about how the industry employs engineering
Students will ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.
This is the second lesson plan that goes with the series of four lesson plans for the book Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly. This lesson focuses on vibrations, sounds, and music. The final project is
SNOW
This lesson includes literacy, math, and art about snowflakes. Within math, students will dive into an analysis of angles within a common snowflake. Students will listen to an informational text about
This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening
What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee or another pollinator flies from flower to flower? Why is pollination important? How
This lesson compares and contrasts different hydroponic systems and their benefits and setbacks. Then, the plan walks the students through the hands-on activity of creating a Kratky bin for hydroponic
This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper
Students will create 3D Models of a water form. Learners will record a photo of their model, write and type or record information about their model via iPad or tablet. Students will record a learning
This lesson explores how cars can be designed to ensure the safety of children passengers. Through a read- aloud, the students will see how a young child was able to design a car in the story "If I
Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.
The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be
