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.

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

In the Drone Light Show project, students will explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and teamwork by designing and programming their own synchronized drone light show. Utilizing DJI

This is the second part of the lesson: Soap Lab - Soap Making. In this lesson, students will take what they learned about soap making and develop a marketing plan for their company. Students will

In this lesson, the phenomenon of soap making will be used to teach the chemical reactions and physical and chemical properties to middle school students.

Lesson "Phoenix Reimagined: From Sun City to Solar City" ensures that students engage in age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences that promote understanding of solar energy and its applications

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 use what they know about similar triangles to create a problem. They will use laser pointers and a small mirror to create a problem requiring students to point the laser beam at the mirror to

Students will explore the separation method of liquid chromatography by analyzing the types of dyes in marker brands. They will then get the opportunity to calculate the change in dye placement and

In this project, students practice using scale by designing and crafting items for a model bedroom using a 1:12 scale ratio. They learn how to accurately shrink real-world dimensions down to miniature

For this lesson, students will be using the LEGO Spike Prime Kits and LEGO Mindstorm software. Students will write programs using the Color Sensor to make the Driving Base autonomous. A variety of

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

This lesson shows how to use VEX IQ robots in your classroom. There are links to the VEX free resources that can be used to help new or experienced robotics teachers.

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

In this lesson students will collect data on the performance of their drone. Students will design a systematic process of data collection that will then lead to the development of a predictive model

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

This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that

Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design

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
