This lesson plan is the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

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

First students will learn what engineers do and a few different strategies they might use to build strong buildings. Students will create a structure of any shape using given materials to withhold two

Students explore the world of the lesser long-nosed bat through a self-paced hyperdoc. This unassuming bat is responsible for pollinating some the most magnificent desert cacti. It faced extinction in

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

This is Task 4 (Lesson 4) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room." Students will construct a marshmallow device to propel marshmallows at force and collect

Students will be working with creating series and parallel circuits. Students will gain an understanding of the components used to create circuits and how circuits function in our everyday lives.

This is Task 2 (Lesson 2) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room.” Students will be constructing Pangea with their group after reviewing the concepts.
