An engaging lesson using Dash robot to help students identify and describe different attributes of landforms.

This is a REMIX of Shelton and Robledo's "Solar Oven Engineering". An excel document has been added to assist in data collection, record keeping, and graph generation.Students can work individually or in groups of 3 or 4 to create a solar oven out of a pizza box. Students are trying to figure out the best way to make a solar oven in order to melt the chocolate and marshmallow in the S’more. Students will be given a group of objects and tell them the basis of how to create a solar oven. The oven will need to be placed in direct sunlight for most of the day. This experiment works best on a very hot, sunny day.

Students will create a musical pipe using straws of different lengths. They will create their own tune.

In this activity, students will extend their unit on printmaking by designing and creating a stamp using Tinkercad.  With class set up and planning done ahead of the lesson, this can be completed in one class period. 

Students will explain how various forces affect the motion of an object.
Students know that a magnet pulls on all things made of iron without touching them, and that this pulling can result in motion. Students know that a magnet attracts some metals, but not all of them. Students know that a magnet has a force field and poles that determine how a metal affected by the magnet will behave within its field.

Students will make a car move using the forces of magnets to turn around, go backwards, and drive along a path without touching it.

Students will build a balloon powered car.

After reading the book, If I Built A Car, by Chris Van Dusen, https://youtu.be/t-uX-5DyULA students will build a balloon powered car. We will test each car to see which car travels the farthest,

Using the materials- balloons, straws, string, tape, and weights students will design a rocket that will travel to a certain distance such as between 4 and 5 meters. Students will measure the distance of their attempts and record results. They will design a balloon rocket that will travel to the target area and not beyond by discovering the relationship between force and mass.

In this lesson, students will design a packaging system to keep their apple slices as fresh as possible over 24 hours. They will use various materials as part of their package and will be able to place apples in different temperature environments for testing (in classroom, by a window, or outside, for example).

Students will understand how energy can be transferred from one object to another by designing, building, and testing a wind-powered car to deliver a message across the classroom.

Students are asked to build a nest that will keep a bird and 3 eggs safe. Nest must hold a bird and 3 plastic eggs and balance on tree branch.

Learners will become paleontologists for a day. They will discover this career and undertake the challenge of designing a fossil excavator structure to remove newly discovered fossils stuck in a cave crevice. As a class, graph the results on the amount of weight each structure could lift without breaking.

These are the slides that Cohort 1 folks utilized to generate ideas and make connections on 4/19/22.

The bunny has forgotten to deliver an egg. Design a structure for the bunny to safely deliver the missing egg without the bunny being seen (drop from above) and without the egg breaking.

Students will be given a variety of materials. They are tasked with building a structure (ie: parachute, cage, etc.) to safely drop their egg to the floor without it breaking.

In this problem-based learning module, students will use their knowledge of the ancient Roman Empire and will work to analyze critical theories historians agree contributed to the fall of Rome. Students will then work to compare the problems faced by the Romans with problems citizens of the United States still largely face today. Through this investigation, students should recognize how modern technology, government agencies, laws and resources help to solve societal problems that could have once destroyed an empire. With this new understanding, students should work to present a solution to a major problem that plagued the Roman Empire during the years leading up to its collapse.

Students will create a small planter for a type of soil and water. The planter can be made from any materials the student wants and must be able to maintain its shape and hold the soil and water without leaking.

Design and build extensions onto the Driving Base and program it to complete two tasks. Students will learn and practice engineering and manufacturing techniques, cooperation and teamwork skills as they build and code an Autonomous Mobile Robot.

This nearpod goes through the steps of how to create a Digital Breakout for differentiation and personalized learning in the classroom.

Students construct a bridge that will get Cupid to his destination and withstand all of his Valentines. They will build a bridge with only candy hearts and toothpicks.
