Students are learning to construct a tetrahedron kite using basic materials, understand geometric concepts related to the tetrahedron shape, and learn about basic principles of aerodynamics.
This is part 2 of a two part lesson called Sailing Down the Road. In this lesson students will design a sail that can successfully catch the wind and cause their cardboard car (from part 1) to drive
Investigative Phenomenon: When subjected to identical forces, a golf ball and a table tennis ball exhibit distinct movements. Students discover: 1. Equivalent force may result in varied effects on the
Students get a tst of building with non-traditional building materials. Afterwards, a brief description of columns and why they are useful/strong is given. Students then complete a second, simpler
Simple Machines Save the Day
In this lesson students read about simple machines and learn that simple machines make it easier to lift or move things and that they can change direction and magnitude of force. Students use Legos to
Students will learn about the four forces of flight in this introductory lesson. This is lesson one of a four-part unit and provides students with the knowledge they need about flight to engage in a
In this STEM Challenge, students add materials to help their rock roll better. Then, they examine how to push and pull their rock.
Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students
In this lesson, students will test Earth's gravity and how gravity affects objects of different masses. Students will see that mass does not have an effect but instead air resistance is what causes
