STEM SCHOOL

This product teaches about the concept of relationships between variables by looking at data of inclined planes and the force required with different lengths. I use a great website called ASPIRE Simple and Complex Machines that allows students to manipulate an inclined plane and collect the data from each change. They will practice graphing that data and then analyzing it. This includes the lesson, standards met, interactive journal template, informational signs and sorting cards.

First Lesson of an Engineering Unit called STRUCTURES. My students each have an STEM INTERACTIVE JOURNAL in a composition notebook so most of my lessons have templates that are designed to glue into that journal. **This free resource includes the common core standards, engineering standards, a Prezi presentation and the lesson dialogue. The student's interactive journal template is a separate item listed with the same title plus interactive journal template.
