Thermal Energy Lab "Total Meltdown"
Students in this activity will feast their “ice” on the importance of insulators, conductors and how they keeps cold matter cool and hot matter warm or vice versa. Children participating in this lab will learn about the correlation between the speed of an object’s molecules and that objects temperature while getting to test different types of insulation, designing, and constructing a container of their own that minimizes the transfer of thermal energy. This is a STEM activity! Key points: · Temp

Scratch Coding Teams Planner
This is a plan that I have previously given students to begin designing and creating a program using the Scratch coding program.
I will run an immersion lesson prior to giving out this plan were I will get students to explore a game in scratch and share with the class what important features make a game or animation interesting.
The students will then use this planning document to create their own animation, game or quiz that they can share at a gamescon event at the end of a term.

Rube Goldberg
This is a project outline/presentation to guide the students on following the engineering process to build a Rube Goldberg machine. Each day I assigned certain steps and gave the students time to spend on each step. We shared the research with the groups. Before students moved on they had to show me their design prototype to make sure they had at least 3 simple machines. You can increase the amount of simple machines or say at least 5 simple machines and some can be repeated.

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 instruction
