Electric Circuit Design Challenge
This 40-minute lesson uses a design-based approach to build a familiar favorite, the electric circuit game. Teams use what they know about electric circuits to solve the problem of making a quiz game. They discuss and then map out their ideas for building a working game in their science research notebook (SRN) using electric symbols. While building their game students use electrical tools such as needle-nose pliers, wire strippers, and a voltmeter. The lesson includes step-by-step instructions

Edison's Toy Studio STEM design challenge
Are you ready to take your students’ engineering skills to a new level? Edison’s Toy Studio is a Project Based Learning unit designed to support electricity and engineering standards for 3rd-6th grade students. Working in small teams, your students will design and build battery-powered toys using components such as motors, switches, and LED light bulbs as well as cardboard and common craft materials. This is not a “cookbook” lesson plan. Each team’s project will be as varied as the interests and

STEM Forces & Motion (3rd-5th) grade Energy Bounce DRIVING STEM
ENERGY BOUNCEStudents are challenged to investigate potential and kinetic energy as they look for patterns in the way a ball bounces. Collect data. Analyze data. Make decisions using data. ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS1. What is the difference in kinetic and potential energy?2. What are some examples of energy transversions?Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. If you stretch a rubber band, you will give it potential energy. As the rubber band is released, potential energy is changed to

Animal Enclosure Area Project
This activity is great for independent work or partner/group work to assess understanding of AREA as well as animal adaptations. The integration of both math and science concepts is the focus of this lesson and students use what they know about each concept to complete the small project. Teachers may need to do a little bit of prep before the activity depending on which option you chose.
