Google Earth - Exploring Architectural Landmarks in the Ukraine
By Innovations in Technology
In this lesson, students learn more about famous structures and landmarks in Ukraine and the individuals who created them. Students choose the landmarks they will research and then create a presentation using Google Earth to showcase their information along with pictures, videos and maps. Included with the lesson are student expectations, grading rubric and a tutorial for Google Earth (a free, Web 2.0 tool that does not require download). For classrooms with limited technology, this lesson can be completed with students working in pairs or small groups. The completed presentations can be shared with the rest of the class if the teacher chooses.
This is a great activity for a social studies or history class, or for a technology class. This lesson was designed for middle school (grades 6-8) but could be used in upper elementary grades or high school as well.

Web Design - The Website Project
By Reece's Tech Shop by Scott Reece
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.

The Physics Behind Tensegrity Structures - STEM Building & Research Activity
By Innovations in Technology
This project lets students learn about the physics and math behind tensegrity structures as they research and create one with their team. After introducing the lesson with a short video (link included in resources), students work with their team to create a basic tensegrity structure following a short tutorial. Then, utilizing the knowledge gained from this, they build a second tensegrity structure of their choice, utilizing the principles and design ideas of tensegrity. As they work through both builds, they record their information on the included Engineering Design Process Planning Sheet with their team. Next, students present their project to the class and explain their design choices. Finally, students reflect on and summarize their learning with short answers to questions about the experience and what they learned.
This lesson was created for 7th and 8th grade, but could also be used successfully in upper elementary grades or high school as well.
Files included (non-editable, .pdf files):
• Teacher & Student Resources
• Student Instructions, Expectations and Grading Rubric
• Team Sign Up Sheet
• Engineering Design Process Planning Sheet
• Reflection Questions
