Change grade range

Resource	Grade Level	Media Type
Capturing Renewable Energy Students investigate renewable energy sources and how to transition from an energy source to a usable, on-demand power source.	6-12	Lesson Plan
Choosing a STEM Career Students will view video clips about graduate and middle school students with interests in STEM careers and compare technologies from yesterday with today. They will explore careers on-line before writing about their futures as STEM professionals.	6-12	Lesson Plan
Deadly Letters: The Anthrax Mystery In this media rich lesson plan from NOVA scienceNOW, student teams investigate a fictional anthrax case by modeling DNA sequencing and tracking down the guilty lab.	9-12	Lesson Plan
Design and Build a Tangle-Free Headphone Holder In this lesson, students follow the engineering design process to build a tool that stores headphones for a portable music listening device, such as an MP3 player, without the wires getting tangled. As they work through this process, students learn about the engineer's role in finding solutions to meet human needs.	6-8	Lesson Plan
Design and Construct a Road Sign Support Students use simple materials to design, build, and test a model of a free-standing structure used to support overhead road signs.	6-12	Lesson Plan
Energy Production Students examine the role of energy in our daily lives and how we produce energy to power our cities, homes, and schools. The advantages and disadvantages of each energy source are also addressed.	6-12	Lesson Plan
How Do We Measure 100? In this media-rich lesson, students explore the value of the number 100. They use a variety of objects in sets of 100 to measure length and to learn about the benefits of using standard units of measurement.	K-2	Lesson Plan
How Engineering Affects Your Life Students explore the engineering that impacts their day-to-day life.	K-2	Lesson Plan
Risky Genetics In this lesson from NOVA scienceNOW, students explore genetic testing for specific diseases, and consider the pros and cons of discovering a person's genotype for a particular disease.	9-12	Lesson Plan
Shapes That Make Structures Strong Students explore the various shapes engineers choose to make structures strong -- in particular, triangles, arches, and domes.	6-8	Lesson Plan
Solar Cooking Warming Up to the Properties of Solar Radiation and Its Uses in Our Homes	6-8	Lesson Plan
Solar Racing The Design, Construction and Evaluation of a Solar-Powered Car	6-8	Lesson Plan
Tension and Compression Students experience the forces of tension and compression by manipulating objects that are strong in each but not in both and then take what they have learned and apply it to the construction of various structures.	6-12	Lesson Plan
Turning Electricity and Magnetism into Mechanical Work with a Simple Motor (MS) Students will explore what happens at the atomic level when electricity and magnetism interact to create a force. They will watch a video about electrons in motion, build a simple motor, and observe and predict ways to manipulate its operation.	6-8	Lesson Plan
Turning Electricity and Magnetism into Mechanical Work with a Simple Motor (HS) Students will explore what happens at the atomic level when electricity and magnetism interact to create a force. They will watch a video about electrons in motion, build a simple motor, and observe and predict ways to manipulate its operation.	9-12	Lesson Plan
What Is a Robot? In this lesson, students are introduced to robots, including ones that exist in their everyday lives. They learn about the kinds of things that robots do, the excitement that goes with designing and testing, and what inspires ideas for different robots.	3-5	Lesson Plan
Windmills: Putting Wind Energy to Work Students use simple materials to build their own windmills and learn how wind can be used to help get work done.	2	Lesson Plan
