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 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

Students will explore energy, electricity, and engineering in this hands-on lesson using the Kidwind kit to create a wind turbine.

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

This lesson is about building and testing a Ferris Wheel and the history behind it. Students should be familiar with the concepts of forces, motion, and gravity before starting this project. They

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.

Students become engineers and create a modified adaptive device after disassembling and assembling eyewear and creating a new adaptive device in this engaging lesson. This real-world problem-solving

Summary: This lesson is geared towards 3rd graders but can be modified for upper and lower grades. Throughout the next 4 lessons they will describe the role of pollinators and explain their effects

Students will learn the parts of the microscope, how to calculate the magnification, how to focus the microscope, as well as draw what they see in the field of view. Students will also write their
