In this lesson, students will deconstruct cell phone boxes and other tech-packages to understand how packaging design relates to consumer experience. They will analyze what makes some designs more
Today we will learn how ice cream is made and then make some ourselves. To do this we will: Listen to an informational text describing how ice cream made and compare that information with our prior
This lesson combines ELA/STEM lesson for 2nd grade. It's great to use with "Mr. Popper's Penguins" or any other units related to penguins. During this design challenge, students will build an iceberg
Today we will make new crayons from old and broken crayons. To do this we will: listen to an informational text describing how crayons are made. make a solar oven. describe the steps we take to make
Students will use the materials provided to engineer a vehicle that is powered by a robot and deliver a treat to a chosen location. Students will use the robots you have. I use Sphero and Edison

In this lesson students will be creating a geometric design to create a stained-glass window. They will then assemble the window with pretzel rods, royal icing and melted Jolly Ranchers. Students can
This hands-on lesson uses vermicomposting to apply virtually all of the science & engineering practices as well as several in math. Enough for a unit but a few stand-alone pieces can help your
This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or
Through the use of the Read Aloud, "This Is a Book to Read with a Worm" by Jodi Wheeler-Toppen, students will learn about the functions and the structure of a worm and how worms affect the garden.
In this hands-on lesson, students will learn about the Engineering Design Process and its uses and benefits. The students will then apply what they have learned to the construction of a duct tape
In this hands-on lesson, students research the solar system. Then, they work in groups to create a solar system model and present it to the class.
Through the use of the Read Aloud, "Up in the Garden and Down by the Dirt" by Kate Messner, students will learn about all the elements that make up a garden. Students will also plant a seed into a
Through the use of the Read Aloud, "What's Inside a Flower?" by Rachel Ignotofsky, students will learn about the structure of flowers. This is a great introduction to plant growth and gardening. This
In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson
Within this lesson, students will present their master-planned community to a test audience and potential clients. Focus is on presenting to the client rather than reading information off the slide
This lesson can be used to reinforce physical science standards, engineering design concepts, and collaboration. Students will work with a National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run to construct a basic
Empower with solar, motors & wireless! Unravel renewable energy, motor tech & wireless applications in an engaging STEM journey.
Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.
Discover the power of hydraulics and pneumatics! Engaging in STEM activity on building systems and understanding fluid dynamics.
This is the 4th and final part of a 4-part series that allows students to communicate what they've learned through using the engineering design process to develop new vision technology. Links to all
In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math
