Description |
| Huff and Puff: A Lesson Focused on the Force of the Wind | In this lesson students will be exploring the force of wind and its affect on objects. Students will use the engineering design process to sketch, build, and assess how their structure withstands different forces of wind. |
| So . . . il Pick You! | This is a Project-Based Learning Project, intended for second grade. It can be adapted and changed for other grades. |
| Measure Both and Find their Difference | Students will measure the lengths of two objects to the nearest inch and determine the difference in the objects' lengths. |
| Measuring Mania | This lesson is a culminating activity for the end of a unit on measurement. Students focus on selecting tools for measuring various objects, justifying why they picked a certain tool. |
| If the Shoe Fits... | In this lesson, students will create line plots based on linear measurements that they collect while participating in the practice of scientific inquiry. |
| Oh My! Meters or Centimeters? | This lesson is designed to teach students how to use rulers to measure centimeters. They will also learn how to use a meter stick to measure centimeters and multiple meters at once. Additionally, they will be able to decide whether they should use meters or centimeters when measuring an object, based on it's overall size, and explain their decision. |
| Might We Measure This? | Students will use a ruler to measure. Students will measure footprints to try to find the real “foot-sized-foot”. |
| Three Pigs 2.0 - An Engineering Design Challenge | This Engineering Design Challenge is intended to help students apply the concepts of force from SC.2.P.13.1 (investigate the effect of applying various pushes and pulls on different objects) and the concept of wind from SC.2.E.7.4 (investigate that air is all around us and that moving air is wind) as they build structures to withstand the force of high-speed winds. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts. |
| Three Billy Goats Gruff Build a Bridge - An Engineering Design Challenge | This Engineering Design Challenge is intended to help students apply the concepts of force from SC.2.P.13.1 (investigate the effect of applying various pushes and pulls on different objects) as they build bridges to hold the greatest load. It is also intended to help students apply the concepts of money from MAFS.2.MD.3.8 (Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately) as they strive to construct the most cost effective bridge. It is not intended as an initial introduction to these concepts. |
| Discovering Math: Beginning Measurement | Demonstrate the basic measures of length, width, height, weight, and temperature by measuring objects and recording the information.
- Demonstrate how time is measured by recording it to the nearest minute.
- Count money using coins and bills.
