STEM Lesson Plans

An unknown mass is hung from the "Y" shaped string. To the top of one side of the "Y", the string is connected to a force sensor/spring scale. Using the reading from the force sensor/spring scale and

Students will go through the engineering design process to come up with a product that will solve a real life problem. By the end of the unit, students will design their product, make their product

The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn

This engaging lesson has students create a dynamic poem, using at least 3 particular Literary Elements, that describes the form and function of a particular Anatomy & Physiology term. The students

This engaging lesson is designed for students to derive the rules for circuits in series by experimenting with different variables in simple circuits in series using the PhET DC Electricity simulation

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course

In this lesson, students use a pHet simulation to derive Ohm's law. Students will be able to describe Ohm’s law with a formula and through written expression.

The lesson plan challenges students to integrate research, agricultural principles, and engineering concepts, sparking their creativity in designing efficient and sustainable hydroponic setups. From

Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super

Students will understand the concept of Scoville units, learn about the scale's origin, and explore the factors contributing to the heat of peppers. They will also engage in hands-on activities to

Have you wanted to set up a STEM Night at your school? This has all the documents and stations that we used at our 5th grade Family STEM Night.

This hands on activity uses calorimetry to determine the calorie content of snack food. Different samples of snack foods are burned and the temperature change of surrounding water is measured. This

In this high school lesson, students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.

Students will model examples from 3 of the 4 Macromolecule Groups, then film themselves describing their models with specific information about both the model and the Macromolecular group it is from

Students will model series and parallel circuits in Tinkercad and transfer the design to a physical breadboard. At the end of the lesson, students must use the design process to design and build a

This lesson is called shape sculpture and the students will fashion a sculpture out of celluclay. Initially the students will create a 2D drawing of a cake design (or cupcake or doughnut depending on

Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students

This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students

In this lesson, students will learn about desert plant and animal adaptations and the concept of biomimicry. Students will discuss examples of biomimicry in nature and in the real world and will

This lesson is an introduction to Micro:bit. Students will learn parts of the device, as well as how to program and download a simple dice randomizer. Once the program is downloaded to the microbit

This is the 2nd set of 4 lesson plans that correlate with the novel "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs. This is a literature-inspired project base learning opportunity. The lessons include straw rockets

This hands-on lesson, allows students to make observations and draw conclusions based on their own crystal growth experiments. It combines literacy and science to give the students the opportunity to
