In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may
This lesson allows students to describe the amount of current and voltage, and apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law in a series circuits. They do this by using the PhET Constructing Circuits Kit: DC and
This lesson allows students to investigate the relationships between current, voltage, and resistance using an Arduino board and electronic components, and through the PhET simulation: Circuit
This lesson has an inquiry hands-on approach, students design a protocol to isolate microbes and test how efficient their method is by comparing with the class results. This is presented under the
This lesson plan will encourage students to reconstruct one of the most ancient engineering designs. Not only will they explore how canals have shaped human survival, but also how we continue to use
In this lesson, students will be introduced to 3D printing. Students will be put into groups and challenged to engineer a structure using a 3D pen. Whichever structure is both the tallest and
In this lesson, students will construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. There is a story integration
The Challenge: Design and build a piece of furniture out of cardboard! In this engaging and creative lesson, students embark on a design challenge with criteria and constraints. Students develop an
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the phenomenon of paper/air pressure rocketry. Students will make a memorable and hands-on connection with the transfer of energy when they create and
