First graders explore digital communication by creating a slide-show presentation. In this PowerPoint presentation lesson plan, 1st graders research a famous hero using search engines and other Internet tools. Students create a...

For this engineering worksheet, 9th graders experiment with the design of a windmill blade to generate more electricity by creating a step by step plan, drawing a diagram, recording data from trials, write a conclusion and a comparison...

Learners classify different mixtures. In this mixtures lesson plan, students determine samples to be suspensions, colloids, or solutions and compare homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.

Students demonstrate the three states of matter. In this matter instructional activity, students read Bartholomew and the Ooblek. Students create "ooblek" and discuss what state of matter it is.

Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...

Young scholars study bridges and design and build their own. They explore different types of bridges and build a basic beam bridge in pairs. After creating their beam bridge, they design a truss bridge and then build a suspension...

Students engage in a lesson in order to create blueprints to design an original floorplan. They use graphing paper and drawing tools to demonstrate knowledge of the lesson objectives. Students label and use the right kind of proportions...

In this research worksheet, students use Internet searches or reference books to answer 15 questions on a variety of subjects.

Students explore encoding systems and decoding technology. For this barcoding lesson students examine how coding impacts society including distribution, and inventory. 

Learners design a wheel that can go down the ramp with the smallest moment of inertia. In this technology lesson, students construct their model using a computer program. They calculate the moment of inertia of their finished product.

Students work together to solve a real life problem that affects their school. They follow the engineering design process to develop and test their solution. They share their ideas with the class.

Learners become familiar with the process of using search engines to locate information on the Internet. They continue the process of developing their own web sites and make one ready for posting on the Internet.

Students work together to create a survery about environmental issues in their community. They calculate and graph the results. They discuss the importance of surveys to engineers.

Young scholars participate in an experiment in which they gather and examine particiles in the air. They place pollution detectors at different locations and identify problem areas. They discuss how engineers can use this type of...

Students observe a visual representation of a volcano erupting. They measure and sketch the volcano and discuss how engineers use this information. They discover the type of equipment used to indicate an eruption.

Students work together to create a model of the Earth. They label and identify each layer and describing its properties. They discover how engineers use models to test different concepts.

Students observe a model classroom of students using the internet. Prospective teachers explore the advantages to taking kids to search engines while in a computer lab. They discuss strategies that are appropriate to teach students and...

Students discover how cell phone service works while participating in a role play activity. They identify its advantages and disadvantages based on service. They examine how engineers use this information to develop better...

Students explore water bodies on the planet Earth and their various uses and qualities. They examine several ways that engineers are working to maintain and conserve water sources and think about their role in water conservation....

Students work together to create rockets on a budget. They discover the limitations that real engineers face when designing and testing their products. They discuss their findings to complete the lesson.

Students observe falling objects. They discover the rate of falling is based on air resistance and not the weight of the objects. They discuss how engineers use this type of information to design aerodynamic shapes.

Students define biotechnology and discuss the economic impact of biotechnology. They also describe what a 1015 onion and a slow-softening tomato are and how they are produced. They examine the safety of genetically-engineered or altered...

Students explained and demonstrated what the Internet is and the safety rules for using it. They navigate the Internet using search tools and the browser.

Pupils use a search engine and links on the Internet to gather research. They record data and cite references used. They organize research into an outline and use a Word Processing program to publish a report.
