Limited-Time Freebie of the Month!

As part of your STEM Space Explorer Library, we're excited to bring you an exclusive monthly freebie! This resource provides a sneak peek into the STEM Space Membership, which offers 250+ rigorous K-8 STEM lessons.

Bug Bot Explorer Engineering Design Unit

Apply energy transfer concepts to build a “bug” that mimics real bug features to solve a mystery! This design challenge uses our new Stage 2 lesson template to promote engineering learning:

• Real-World: Learn about biomimicry, electrical engineering, and entomology.

• Habits of Mind: Conduct research and work as a team.

• Science: Learn about energy transfer. Research bug structure, function, and habitats.

• Making: Make a circuit and identify materials that will work best to make the bug move.

• Math: Calculate speed and volume. Collect testing data.

• Technology: Explore circuits. Learn about bionic bugs.
