STEM Lesson Plans

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be

Model Building For Disaster is a 4-6 week unit in which students research natural disasters around the world and their effect on developing countries. Following their research, student teams design

In this lesson students analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth from a sample. They will then graphically model that relationship. This is the 4th lesson in a series of 4. Links to

In this lesson students will gather data about local tree diameters. They will then estimate the approximate age of trees. Students build connections between a tree’s growth and environmental factors

Students will measure the height, diameter, and circumference of a tree in this engaging lesson. They will then determine a tree’s age by counting growth rings. Students will determine how rainfall

In this lesson, students will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe. They will identify differences between biomes and collaborate with peers to gather environmental science data
