Army Mission Plan STEM Activity

(0)
Embark on an exciting Army Mission Plan STEM activity where students will work together to design a strategic plan, using math, science, and problem-solving skills to tackle real-world challenges faced by military teams. This resource includes: A full PowerPoint for the teacher to use A bridge building activity A ration plan activity A design electric car activity Instructions for carrying out the activities Intro videos Student sheets Bridge building activity: In this hands-on activity, children will design and build their own bridge using simple materials like paper, tape, and straws. They’ll learn about basic engineering principles, such as how shapes and structures can provide strength and stability. By testing how much weight their bridges can hold, kids will also explore problem-solving and creativity as they adjust their designs to make the strongest bridge possible Ration plan activity: In this engaging activity, children will take on the role of army nutritionists as they create a ration plan to keep soldiers energized and healthy. Using a list of lightweight and non-perishable foods, kids will explore how to balance proteins, carbs, fats, and essential nutrients while designing meals that are easy to carry and eat in the field. This activity helps children understand the importance of nutrition, planning, and the challenges soldiers face when it comes to food. This activity comes with a nutrition information sheet. Electric vehicle design activity: In this exciting STEM activity, children will get to design and draw their very own electric car! Using paper, they’ll plan out the parts of a simple electric car, including the motor, battery, wheels, and axles. This activity fosters creativity and introduces basic engineering concepts, helping kids understand the components needed to make vehicles move. This activity comes with an outline for students to add to Terms of Use This resource was created by David Chalk, all rights reserved.

Sustainable City Plan STEM Activities & Lesson

(0)
In this activity, students will explore the elements of sustainable city design, learning how to incorporate renewable energy sources, green spaces, and efficient transportation systems to create a city that benefits both people and the environment. This resource includes: A full PowerPoint for the teacher to use A sustainable building design activity A what goes under a city activity A what energy sources to use activity Into videos Student sheets What goes under a city activity In this activity, children will learn about what needs to go under a city to keep it running smoothly. They’ll explore things like underground pipes for water and sewage, tunnels for trains and subways, and where to place things to help make the city sustainable. By understanding these hidden systems, kids will gain insight into how cities work and how these essential services help people live and work above ground. This activity includes a short introduction video, slides to help explain what can go under a city to students and an example of a model that you can set up to help explain this part of a city to students. Sustainable buildings activity In this sustainable building design activity, children will learn about eco-friendly architecture by designing their own “green” buildings. They will consider features like solar panels, rainwater collection systems, and energy-efficient materials to make their structures environmentally friendly. This hands-on activity encourages creativity while teaching kids about sustainability and the importance of reducing environmental impact. This activity includes a short introduction video, slides to help explain how buildings can be made sustainable and information sheets that students can use when designing their buildings. Sustainable energy resources activity In this activity, children will explore different types of renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, to decide which ones are best suited for a city. They’ll learn about the benefits and limitations of each energy source and consider factors like location, weather, and city needs. This activity encourages kids to think critically about sustainable energy solutions and how to make cities greener and more energy-efficient. This activity includes a short introduction video and slides to help explain what types of renewable energy resources students can plan to use in their city design.
