Pbs Learning Media: Curious George Stem: Blast Off! Lesson Plan

Students can explore the engineering design process while watching video excerpts from Curious George and participating in hands on activities.

During this Curious George STEM activity, students will explore the concepts of air and wind. Student will engage in a hands-on activity after watching a video excerpt from Curious George.

A hands on lessons where students explore how materials and design affect the strength of a structure. After watching an excerpt Curious George, students build newspaper walls like George did and try out different solutions for making...

A lesson where students will talk about how to sort different objects based on their characteristics. After viewing a clip from Curious George, students sort and label objects into categories.

Explore how different objects move down ramps in this Curious George lesson. Students will make predictions about how objects will roll down different heights of ramps.

During this STEM lesson plan, students will watch a clip from Curious George. Students will use this lesson plan to guide children in investigating how different objects move in the wind (moving air).

In a clip from Curious George, investigate with George how wind can move things. [2:05]

A clip from Curious George showing students how a work of art can be made from a "junk" pile. [1:20]

An hands-on lesson where students create a wind powered boat with their knowledge of reusing, recycling of materials, and wind power.

Learners will investigate different ways to wind can move things. They will blow, wave, and fan to move objects across a table.
