During the lesson, students will learn about slightly more advanced circuitry concepts such resistance, motors, and LED’s. They will conclude the lesson by creating the wiring for a helicopter. Note: See Additional Resources in this lesson's Facilitator Guide for ideas to complete this lesson with common household items. While the circuits may not be identical, students will still be able to understand the basic concepts of a circuit.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Technology required for this lesson: Electronics Kit, Laptop/Desktop, Tablet.

During the lesson, students will learn about speakers and integrated circuits. Note: See Additional Resources in this lesson's Facilitator Guide for ideas to complete this lesson with common household items.

Estimated time required: 2-3 class periods.

Students will use critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills to create an emoji. The Vectr graphics software used in this activity helps students develop a STEM mindset. It is important to allow students to work through the process as independently as possible with the facilitator acting only as a guide.

Estimated time required: 1 class period.

Technology required for this lesson: Design Software, Laptop/Desktop.

Scientists discuss whether or not endocrine disrupting chemicals, which may cause birth defects and other health concerns, should be controlled in the absence of conclusive proof, in this video segment adapted from FRONTLINE: Fooling with Nature.

Watch students as they conduct an energy audit on a home and gain hands-on experience for a career in the green energy industry, in this video adapted from ATETV.

This feature, adapted from Interactive NOVA: "Earth," follows the path of energy as it is transferred via the food chain from one type of organism to another.

This video segment, adapted from NOVA, describes the energy flow in a coral reef, including its food web.

In this lesson designed to enhance literacy skills, students examine energy forms in moving objects and discover how changes from one form to another move cars through a roller coaster ride.

On NOVA, a team of carpenters, timber framers, engineers, and historians recreate a medieval throwing machine called a trebuchet. This adapted video segment explores how understanding energy transfer informs their design.

This issue of the free online magazine, Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears, explores the Sun's role in warming Earth, the albedo (reflectivity) of Earth's diverse surfaces, and how the decline of Arctic sea ice is affecting Earth's energy balance. Science lessons introduce the concepts of solar energy, reflection, and absorption to elementary students. The issue also includes an overview of the natural resources and energy sources found in the polar regions as well as lessons that allow students to develop the concepts of natural resources, energy sources, and energy efficiency.

This article assembles free resources from the Energy and the Polar Environment issue of the Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears cyberzine into a unit outline based on the 5E learning cycle framework. Outlines are provided for Grades K-2 and 3-5.

In this video segment from NASA, robotics researcher Ayanna Howard uses engineering to improve the intelligence of robots in space exploration.

Welcome to INFOhio's Career Exploration Units. Students in grades 4-5 learn about careers in engineering and feats of engineering such as Ferris wheels and bridges.  These units contain multiple lessons that use INFOhio's digital resources to help students learn, practice, and master key learning standards while learning more about career options in engineering fields such as electrical, mechanical, aerospace and in science and  technology fields such as fuel cell technology and robotics.
