Students will plan and design a rocket that will travel the greatest distance. Students will consider what they know about rockets, energy, lengths and distances while using a budget to build their rockets.
In this lesson, students use their knowledge of sound energy to create a soundproof box to protect a secret code word! Students measure and graph decibels to determine how well their boxes omit sounds!
This is an easy, short and effective way to incorporate/utilize Social Emotional Learning into your classroom. It helps children to learn to focus and deal with emotional issues in a positive manner.
Students will pick a character from whichever text they are currently reading and create a fake social media profile. The original creator mentions that this can be done digitally, but says she has her students do it on poster board. Many students find the technology more engaging and can use it to look up and translate unknown words quickly. So I have provided the Google Slides templates for Twitter, Snapchat, Twitter, and Facebook.
Having students work this way combines 21st century skills, and allows for students that are unfamiliar with words from the text to have access to a resource immediately.
I would also have students work in pairs so that it is more collaborative. It is a "social" project.
The rubric gives clear expectations.
Students should NOT use real social media sites to create their profiles.
After a long three day weekend, STEM Lake is flooded with trash! With your team, engineer a device that can collect the trash from STEM Lake with Sphero.

A map of Washington DC was created in 1851 - a time of relative peace in the United States. Millard Fillmore was president, California had just become a state, and the Capitol building was undergoing an expansion project to accommodate the nation's growing size. By this point, Washington DC had been the nation's capital for about 60 years, although many buildings were newer than that since they had been destroyed in the "Burning of Washington" near the end of the War of 1812. In this lesson, successful students will use a "spyglass map" to explore the 1851 map in detail and compare and contrast with the present day layout and structure of Washington DC.
This writing unit sparks students' interest in writing! Pixton.com can be used to create personal narrative stories, summarize literary books/book reports, to utilize vocabulary, or write about historical figures, and more! My ELs love using this website.
This resource focusing on the rhetorical situation of the "March on Washington" is based on a template that teachers can use to create Inquiry Based Research Lessons and Units. It is a hyperdoc template that is based on the eWISE Research Model. It is broken into the 4 stages of the research model (Wonder, Investigate, Synthesize and Express).
