ASCD Express 12.21 - Let's Build Roller Coasters! - 0 views

  •  
    "Summer fun. It is the absolute best. Whether you visit Six Flags, Kings Island, a Disney Park, Busch Gardens, or another amusement park, the looping lines of roller coasters offer the perfect lens for getting students to interact with STEM concepts. An old garden hose, duct tape, and a marble: the only materials that you need to build a roller coaster. Cut the hose in half, and then duct tape the two segments together down the back to create a nice groove where the two hoses meet for the marble to ride, on top. Then the materials are ready for students to explore the potential and kinetic energy of roller coasters."

Paper Roller Coasters :) - 1 views

  •  
    "As a science teacher, this is the best project I do all year.  I have yet to come across a project where students are more engaged.  They want to come after school to work on it, they ask to take the project home to work over the weekend, students are shocked when the class period has come to an end, and they all want to skip their next class to continue working. The purpose of this project is to reinforce Newton's Laws of Motion through roller coaster physics.  The objective is to have a marble take the GREATEST amount of time to get from the top of the first hill to where the coaster ends.  This instructable has also been submitted into the paper contest.  I know the competition is fierce so please vote for me!"

Teaching Science With Lynda: Making a Roller Coaster out of Foam Tubes and Marbles- inc... - 2 views

  •  
    "Today I am linking with Teachers Desk 6 Teacher's Desk Six for Throwback Thursday. This is a super inexpensive activity.  The foam tubes are about 1.80 for a 7 foot tube and you can slice it in half and have two ramps out of it.  The marbles and masking tape are also inexpensive. "

30 Lessons For Teachers From Dr. Seuss - 3 views

  •  
    "Dr. Seuss is gold-whimsical and visually interesting traipses through surreal worlds, and always full of life advice. And life advice is learning advice, and learning advice-well, that's why we're all here, yes? There are themes below that apply directly to the responsibilities of a teacher. Let's face it-teaching is an emotional roller coaster, and a microcosm for life itself, full of tedium and wonder, disappointment and triumph, down days and days to celebrate. Take #11 for example-you have brains in your head and feet on your choose, you can steer yourself any direction you choose-can be both encouragement to elementary students, or high school students taking themselves-and life-too seriously"

Why educational robotics is a critical STEM learning tool - 5 views

  •  
    "Engineering is a critical part of STEM education, and engineers play a role in creating, improving, and maintaining some of today's most valued and essential things, from smartphones and airplanes to zippers and roller coasters. This year, Engineers Week celebrates "Creating the Future," and it emphasizes the vital role engineers play in creating innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems and biggest challenges. Highlighting engineering also encourages students to pursue engineering classes and, potentially, engineering career paths."

    Educational robotics can turn this downward trend around by incorporating all aspects of STEM in an engaging way that helps students reach success in problem-based learning challenges early on. This motivates students to tackle more difficult challenges.https://wegovyaustralia.org/
