Do you know what is safe to share online? Let’s learn about cybersecurity in a fun scientific process that is just right for kindergarten students.
This lesson incorporates computer science with an interesting enrichment topic for Environmental Science II, Astronomy - Dark Matter. Students will be able to visualize WHY scientists believe that 85% of matter in our universe is not the same as what we are made of. Using simple orbital speed kits, your class can combine their data and analyze it to see what happens to orbital speed with increasing distance from the barycenter of a galaxy. They can add mass to the center to represent dark matter and see how that increases the orbital speed - just like what Vera Rubin discovered in the 1960s.
Every line, shape, and color tells a story of fun and learning for your kindergartner in this graphing adventure!
In this lesson, students will travel to different stations while participating in various graphing activities. The students will also be creating a whole class survey in one of the stations, where they will be documenting their results and sharing with the whole class when the lesson is complete.
In this lesson, students will apply debugging to coding in javascript, correcting math expressions, and a simple electrical circuit.
Using this kit, students really learn and do the energy conversions. They physically have the pieces in their hands to create each conversion and then some. The worksheet keeps them focused on what they have to do instead of just playing with the kits. But this isn’t to discredit that they wouldn’t learn by just playing with the kits. Conversion of energy is hard to grasp in theory, why not make it physical and help them remember.
Let’s graph our favorite holiday and learn about each other! This lesson introduces holidays and then allows children to choose their favorite and graph that information as a whole class.
Would you like students to see how data analysis works in real life? Using Gas Laws and Google Sheets students will definitely use their critical thinking skills to answer some questions and potentially manipulate their own created data!
This engaging lesson offers students multiple opportunities to collect data and create their own charts and graphs as they rotate through fun and exciting stations that incorporate computer science, math, science, and visual art.
Using shapes to make animals, students will graph the colors used in their animals to practice collecting data and analyzing graphs.
Students will conduct an experiment to see how light affects plant growth. The teacher and students will use a computer to analyze and display the data. The class will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using computers to evaluate data.
Students will dive into the different components of computing systems, as we collect data from our homes to find out what computing systems are most commonly used in our families. Students will practice identifying inputs and output computer systems.
Students will plant seeds in pots and compare the growth results using different variables. Then they will discuss the data they collected.
Kindergarteners explore the scientific method in a fun and engaging way!
Your students will use Kitchen Chemistry to make a tasty treat as they learn about input and output devices and phases of matter!
Grab your hard hat and tool belt for this lesson, exploring engineering and computer science with the scientific method.
Do you like to troubleshoot and solve problems yourself? This lesson will teach you to solve problems on your technology devices and to create cars by using troubleshooting and problem solving as well.
Problem solving can be so much fun when you are building cars! Let’s learn to troubleshoot on our computers and use those skills to create a working, rolling, car!
Take the “User Friendly” approach to increase your students' knowledge of computing systems with this simple and fun lesson. Students will be able to identify basic computer components, compare hardware vs software, and troubleshoot simple problems when using their tablets.
What materials dissolve in water? How does water temperature affect this? Your students will work in groups using a thermometer and timer to discover if salt, sugar, sand, and flour will dissolve best in hot or cold water. Further, your class will learn to record and submit data on a Google form and create graphs. This will allow you to have great class discussions to draw conclusions about the effect temperature has on dissolving matter.
