This is a website design lesson wrapped around Simple Machines. I wanted my students to get the feel of WEB DESIGN without having to pay hosting fees...so, we used PowerPoint. I went through the process of setting up a PP as the website. We talk about links, images, web directory, etc. but we did it for FREE in PowerPoint. Once you activate the slideshow, it "feels" like a website. The kids loved it!

It is written for Simple Machines, but it could easily be rewritten for any topic in any class!

The directions for PowerPoint are on pages 3-4.

Your students will love creating a structure that will survive an "earthquake" with this STEM Challenge! Included are teacher tips and suggestions and directions for the challenge.

I use these recording sheets when teaching simple machines. I have used them in several different ways. I have formed 6 groups and given each group several books on one simple machine. Then I have groups share what they have learned and the other students in the class take notes. I have let them research simple machines online and had them record what they have learned. I have also shown some simple machine videos and paused for discussion and note-taking. The worksheets are made to give you flexibility and to save you time!

Sketchup (a free CAD drawing program) is a great way for students to practice math skills and learn skills for STEM careers. This short activity lets them practice frequently used skills such as creating cones and spheres and includes instruction links to assist them. This lesson can be used in technology, engineering, math, CTE or art classes and is also an easy lesson to leave on a day when you need to have a substitute teacher.

The lesson was created for 7th and 8th grade students who had a basic knowledge of the program. However, this lesson could be used successfully with beginning Sketchup students by incorporating the beginning tutorials (provided as Internet links) prior to doing the actual assignment.

This lesson is great for distance learning/remote learning. You can upload it to your school's learning management system (Google Classroom, Edmodo, Canvas, etc.) or share with students via Google Drive.

Includes:

* Teacher & Student Resources (including tutorials)

* Student instructions, project expectations, and grading rubric.

Are you looking for an introductory activity to Coding that can easily be upgraded to extensive coding or robotic programming? This will activity will take you step by step to creating a "city" in EXCEL (we actually recreated the city that we built in our classroom, but you can just create it in EXCEL) and then shows you how to CODE out of the city. With the help of snip tools and pens, you have numerous coding challenges for Warm-Ups or Coding Extensions. Since we actually built the city, students applied what they coded to actual programs on the robots. It was a great experience!!
