STEM Activities for Middle School Students
Use STEM activities within the class to provide connections to concepts. The resource includes activities that range from working with buoyancy to building rockets and launching them. Other activities involve the engineering design...
Curated OER
Making Nets for Solids
Third graders are introduced to a variety of two-dimensional shapes. Individually, they are given a cube, cylinder and cone and take apart each shape. While taking them apart, they discuss how the two-dimensional shape was created.

TE Activity: The Boxes Go Mobile
Pupils create a mobile of boxes and cubes that they made in a previous lesson that can be accessed from this page. They design the mobile using method that an engineer would use to balance the items based on surface areas and volumes.
Curated OER
Inquiry Cube
Fifth graders investigate geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 5th graders classify and group shapes and patterns by likeness. They investigate patterns based on clues from their peers.

Patterns
Second graders work with different types of patterns. In this pattern lesson, 2nd graders go to a pattern block webpage and use Unifix cubes to create their own patterns. They find patterns in the real world and draw their own examples.

Solidly Platonic
When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.
Curated OER
Cloud in a bag
Students relate the states of matter and clouds. In this environment activity, students create a chart of information they know about clouds. Students put an ice cube in a bag and tape to a window. Students watch for condensation....

Changing State: Condensation
When you have a cold drink and you notice the water forming on the outside, it is literally pulling the water from the surrounding air to form the condensation. After watching a demonstration of condensation forming on a glass,...
