STEM Lesson Plans

Students will review heredity and genetics using this lesson plan. Students will have an opportunity to explore generations, genetic variations, pedigrees and fitness using this lesson plan and PhET

Students will be measuring the heights of two groups to compare the averages, minimums, maximums, and standard deviations of normal distributions by using the functions on Google Sheets.

Are your students fans of Formula 1? If they are or aren't this lesson will take a look into the dominance of Red Bull Racing in Formula 1. Why is Red Bull so dominant? Is it the driver or the

Middle school students love to compete. Here's a lesson idea for a competition that will appeal to your student scientists, artists, and poets alike. Standards and connections are offered for middle

The lesson looks at three driving questions: Is there an association between human height and wingspan? How can analyze a set of data to determine associations between these two variables? How can we

This STEM lesson focuses on science and math. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for a whole group start, then move into groups of 3-4

Students will investigate different counting methods to find out total number of outcomes to be applied in probabilities. They will learn about fundamental counting principle, permutations, and

Students will learn the importance of clear, precise communication by directing a partner to navigate a drone through an obstacle course. This exercise will draw parallels to writing clear and

Want to incorporate the Arts into your 7-12 STEM classroom? The Global Science Opera provides a way to do just that! Learn how to facilitate a STEAM collaboration with arts teachers to make it happen.

The students will come up with what is sound and how it is produced. Then in the next two lessons explore with a signal generator to explore amplitude and frequency.

Students create a polling station, using student-made buttons, a circuit, and coding a Micro:Bit, to discover and report current student trends.

On the second day students use more complex coding, the built in camera for taking pictures and experience FPV. It has 3 missions total in this lesson. This lesson also uses yaw to keep the camera

Investigate how red wigglers rebuild soil by processing food scraps and depositing their casts into the soil. Student groups will have their own worm bins to care for and they will gather data about

Students will combine science and art by using an alternative photographic process called cyanotypes or sun prints. After a short introduction to the history of cyanotypes and the process of creating

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be

Students need to learn basic internet safety, which starts with developing strong login and site passwords before doing any research on the internet. Creating and managing strong, secure passwords is

Students are introduced to the current teams and given a brief history of their mascots. Then students research potential areas for an expansion team to start a new team (I do not limit them to just

In this project, 8th-grade students will engage in hands-on exploration of elastic potential energy and its conversion to kinetic energy using small catapults. Through experimentation and data

The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform

Students are constructing a cardboard control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors. In this lesson, students will begin working on the electrical

Students are constructing a cardboard remote control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors.

In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use

Students will build landing gear to successfully land a rover on Mars.
