In this lesson, students develop a model of the earth’s surface and use it to discover an important principle about how rivers work.
In the "Magic Bean Water Race" experiment, students explore how different types of water affect plant growth by planting three bean seeds and watering them daily with purified water, tap water, and sugar water.
This ETP helps teachers integrate art-based innovation into their classrooms as an accessible entry point to STEM.
This ETP introduces teachers to Brisk, an AI-powered tool for evaluating student writing. Through hands-on sessions, teachers learn to provide targeted, efficient feedback using rubrics, streamlining the writing assessment process while supporting student growth.
Students will be able to make observations about the trash in a creek behind our playground and collect data on the type of trash in the creek. Does it come from homes or is it wrappers from students’ snacks?
In this interactive STEM challenge, students will work in teams to design and build their own water filtration systems using simple materials while exploring the real-world concepts of microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet light.
Students will be introduced to different types of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, including those used to operate space-based platforms (such as satellites).
Students will learn how CubeSats are programmed to orient themselves in space through a hands-on activity. Students will learn the basics of coding through a team simulation.
After completing our unit on rocks and soil, this lesson will show students how to identify food waste from their lunches that can be composted in the school’s compost bin.
