This awesome science video explores using the engineering process to build a city, while considering all the the variables.

This awesome science video goes over how and why engineers evaluate different solutions to come up with the best solution to the problem they are working on.

Students observe demonstrations, and build and evaluate simple models to understand the greenhouse effect, the role of increased greenhouse gas concentration in global warming, and the implications of global warming theory for engineers, themselves and the Earth. In an associated literacy activity, students learn how a bill becomes law and research global warming legislation.

Spatial visualization is the study of two- and three-dimensional objects and the practice of mental manipulation of objects. Spatial visualization skills are important in a range of subjects and activities like mathematics, physics, engineering, art and sports! In this lesson, students are introduced to the concept of spatial visualization and measure their spatial visualization skills by taking the provided 12-question quiz. Following the lesson, students complete the four associated spatial visualization activities and then re-take the quiz to see how much their spatial visualization skills have improved.

Farms provide food, clothing and shelter for millions of people every year. Plants grown for these essential needs start with soil. Livestock that provide food for people eat plants grown in soil. Soil is a natural resource that we all need to care for. Students will learn that soil is a valuable natural resource that farmers are conscientious about caring for.

Students explore methods employing simple machines likely used in ancient pyramid building, as well as common modern-day material transportation. They learn about the wheel and axle as a means to transport materials from rock quarry to construction site. They also learn about different types and uses of a lever for purposes of transport. In an open-ended design activity, students choose from everyday materials to engineer a small-scale cart and lever system to convey pyramid-building materials.

Help Spanish-speaking English-language learners unlock the mysteries of their new language by using a bilingual book to recognize unfamiliar words and construct meaning from the text.

Today we're going to take a hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro so we can talk about how the geosphere changes based on many different things. On the same mountain we can travel through many different habitats like rain forests, savannas, and moorlands. Let's take a walk with Sabrina and see how!

This is one of the best K-12 Science resources available!
Resources are available for Grades Pre-school-12 including multiple articles and videos available for students to explore the many science concepts being learned in the classroom.

You can:
*Book an outreach visit from a scientist to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) to your class

*Enter your Grade 6-8 students in team-based competitive enrichment events

*Use CurioCity with Grade 8-12 students to learn about STEM careers, Space and countless other topics with videos. You can also register and get amazing resources for STEM (in English or French) for FREE! (These are even aligned to SK curriculum!)

*Visit Ideapark for Pre-school to Grade 3 to register and receive access to a wealth of FREE STEM resources.

*Register for Tomatosphere to investigate the effects of outer space on seed germination with your class. Tomatosphere™ is a hands-on program that builds scientific inquiry and experimentation skills.

Kindergarten children are usually familiar with beginning sound "ABC" books with texts such as "A is for apple. "In this activity, repeated for each consonant letter, art, writing, conventional spelling, and reading are combined to create a personal "Letter Book" for each child.

Students explore letter poems and experiment with writing letters as poems, using the placement of line breaks to enhance rhythm, sound, meaning, and appearance.

Students write a friendly letter based on their observations of a painting by Poussin. They demonstrate their observation of the painting's content and new vocabulary that they access themselves, using a thesaurus.

Using their prior knowledge of books containing letters, students show their understanding of genre by rewriting a story and reflecting on how traditional stories differs from stories told in letters.

Students learn how the sun can be used for energy. They learn about passive solar heating, lighting and cooking, and active solar engineering technologies (such as photovoltaic arrays and concentrating mirrors) that generate electricity. Students investigate the thermal energy storage capacities of test materials. They learn about radiation and convection as they build a model solar water heater and determine how much it can heat water in a given amount of time. In another activity, students build and compare the performance of four solar cooker designs. In an associated literacy activity, students investigate how people live "off the grid" using solar power.

This lesson introduces students to three of the six simple machines used by many engineers: the lever, the pulley, and the wheel-and-axle. In general, engineers use the lever to magnify the force applied to an object, the pulley to lift heavy loads over a vertical path, and the wheel-and-axle to magnify the torque applied to an object. The mechanical advantage of these machines helps determine their ability to make work easier or make work faster.

Je compare mon école avec les écoles d’autrefois est une leçon de l’unité l’Éducation et l’école d’autrefois qui se trouve sur le Web Sciences humaines 1 à 5: Modules pour le patrimoine. L’unité comprend des leçons pour le professeur et des activités interactives pour l’élève.

The Maryland Science Center is working with formal education providers in local underserved schools around a combined project including an interactive exhibit, a Davis Planetarium program and associated Educator Workshops, and will provide outreach to the informal science education community to explore the subject of Astrobiology. Topics covered in both the exhibit and the Davis Planetarium program will include Earthly extremophiles (organisms that survive in extreme conditions), potential other life in the Solar System, locations on nearby worlds where life may exist, the search for exoplanets, the techniques used to discover them, and the NASA missions engaged in the hunt. With an engaging, interactive approach, the exhibit will detail the challenges, questions and techniques of the search for exoplanets, especially Earth-like worlds. The exhibit will help visitors understand the scale of both the Milky Way galaxy and the Universe, and by doing so comprehend the difficulty in searching for other worlds, especially smaller Earth-like worlds.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to learn about the life cycle of frogs, dragonflies, and butterflies. In this lesson, students learn the concept of metamorphosis in an organismŐs life cycle by studying the growth and development of butterflies, frogs, and dragonflies. Most of the activities detailed in this lesson plan can be done with visually impaired students if teachers adapt them using Resources for Teaching and Adapting Lessons for Students with Visual Impairments.
