STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is designed for Grade 5 students to explore fraction operations through hands-on activities with Dash Robots. Students will work collaboratively in groups to apply math skills and enhance

This is the second part of a two-part lesson. This lesson has students using a stethoscope to measure heart rate to collect data for equivalent ratios.

This is a lesson that has two parts. The first is a lesson is using the design process to create a simple stethoscope using various materials and defining which would give the best results. Part two

This lesson integrates math practice with hands-on experience in vermicomposting, reinforcing environmental awareness and mathematical skills among Arizona 5th-grade students. Math practice involves

A glider is a great physical science/STEM challenge for fifth/sixth grade students. This project allows students to use a Cricut cutting machine to build and modify a glider that will travel as far as

A glider is a great physical science/STEM challenge for fifth/sixth grade students. This project allows students to use scissors and utility knives to build and modify a glider that will travel as far

This is a lesson plan made to target the fifith grade standard on how noncontact forces impact one another. It can be adapted to grades 5-12. Students will explore magnetism and polarization, research

This 5th grade lesson incorporates Mad Lib, micro:bits and learning how to code on Makecode.org. This lesson is teacher directed to walk students to add variables and text value. Students will use

Learn about forces and motion while reading the book Sheep in a Jeep and doing activities to determine the average distances of objects in motion.

In this lesson plan, students explore the ideas of energy transfer between two objects. Students are tasked with making a maze for a marble to run through, using a 3d pen and other materials. Students

Students will use PIXLR to compare sizes of the moon and earth to each other and other objects in the solar system.

Students will examine the pro's and con's of various types of vertical gardens and create fractional models of 3 gardens. They will select a garden to plant and provide their rationale.

This lesson is all about force and the influence it has on the motion of an object. In this lesson plan, students will be challenged to design a sturdy paper human house that can withstand force (wind

This is a project to be used possibly at the end of a unit on Newton's Laws with discussions of how his laws apply to the painting and the motion of the pendulum. It can also lead to discussions of

In this engaging lesson, students will explore the fascinating world of magnetism. Students will learn about different types of magnets and how they work. Additionally, we will delve into the concept

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

Students will determine the best materials to use to build their school budget. They will create several garden models and determine which garden they ultimately want to build. Students will then

In this lesson, students will work individually to build a working periscope. They will make a simple one out of card stock and then being creative with whatever supplies their teacher gives them

In this hands-on lesson, students explore engineering and art as they use the same materials as the three little pigs to create a structure that would survive the blowing of a wolf (fan). Students

This thematic unit has lessons which will introduce students to phenomena we encounter in the real world. Students will learn about high interest phenomenon through hands-on investigations. Students

This lesson uses a diagram of a football being punted to demonstrate the forces of motion and the transfer of energy. Students are then challenged to apply what they learned to engineer a mechanical

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

Students will learn the history of rainsticks. They will engineer and design their rainstick. Students have to figure out how much rice, beans and corn goes inside to make the sound of rain. Finally

On day one, students will learn the history of the boomerang. Then on day two, the students will engineer and design their boomerang. Finally, the students will fly their boomerangs.
