STEM Lesson Plans

Students learn about the chemistry that exists in some of the world's oldest surviving paintings. This lesson is the final part of a 3 part painting series, and focuses on binding agents in paint

In this laboratory you will use the ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) for detecting the presence of an antigen, such as a disease-related agent, from a sample of body fluid. You will be given

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

Create potential for masses or charges. Students get to create 3D models of these potential and gain a deeper qualitative representation of why masses or charge move towards lowest potential.

This project allows students to research and "sell" the Sharks and their competitors on their energy or fuel source. A strong emphasis on research is embedded with the ability to interject with daily

This set of lessons allows students to model the decay chains of radioactive isotopes and relate the mathematical patterns and scientific concepts together in a innovative and interactive way.

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

This lesson plan helps students to use inquiry to develop a lab to test salt vs sugar solutions in how far they will travel through the gel. Inquiry labs are great for those who like to be creative

The purpose of this lesson and laboratory exercise is for students to gain an understanding of chemical reactions and how they work. The students will have the opportunity to see a reaction between

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.

Students begin by using the Google Sunroof website to compare the cost/benefits of installing solar panels on a home's roof using different financial methods- buying, leasing and renting panels. After

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

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

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.

In this lesson, students will show how mass affects velocity (distance/time). Multiple variables can be changed to provide a story representing Newton's Laws in action.

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

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

In this hands-on lesson, students from the Trigonometry class construct a sundial and see the experimental application of Trigonometry. Student will not just delve into trigonometry, but they will

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 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
