STEM Lesson Plans

Barbie is an adventure seeker to the max! She loves the thrill of death defying activities. She believes the adrenaline rush makes her hair more lustrous and keeps a brilliant smile on her face; so

Are your students fans of Formula 1? If they are or aren't this lesson will take a look into the dominance of Red Bull Racing in Formula 1. Why is Red Bull so dominant? Is it the driver or the

Students will use projectile motion as practical example to better understand how parabolas (quadratic equations) are built. Students will also tabulate x and y values on Google Spreadsheets and graph

Students pull wooden "sleds" with different masses on them over various types of surfaces with spring scales (force meters) to calculate the different coefficients of friction. Students graph the data

This lesson is a whole unit on energy. It can be broken up into 10 separate lessons. I chose to put them all together so that it was easier to see how I organized them so you did not have to search

A lesson designed for an engineering course but that can be used in a science course where we investigate the physics of waves and how it can be applied to the world of art. Students will design and

The lesson plan uses the formula derived by Sal from Khan Academy how to solve for the monthly payment of a long term loan whose interest is compounded monthly. The lesson also include how to find the

In this lesson, students will explore the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit. Using a PhET Simulation, they will collect data and graph voltage vs current

In this real-world STEM lesson, students take on the role of product planners at Apple to determine the optimal production mix of iPhone 16 colors that maximize profit while considering demand

In this lesson students use a Pocketlab Voyager to collect data on a toy car as it goes down a track. Analysing the data, students calculate gravitational potential energy and Kinetic energy of the

This lesson is intended to be an introduction to teach students how to use the PocketLab Voyager. It covers how to connect the Voyager to your device, using Pocklab Notebook, collecting and analysing

This lesson can be used as a formative assessment on Static Equilibrium of a horizontal meter stick that has two masses hanging from the meter stick. One of the mass values is provided, the 2nd mass

In this lesson, students build and launch their own rockets. They then analyze and explain the motion of the rocket using the cause-mechanism-effect framework.

This STEM Argumentative Research Project engages students in exploring the scientific, ethical, and societal implications of themes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Students will work in groups to

Students will apply principles of design, engineering, and mathematics to create a physical or digital labyrinth inspired by the myth of Theseus. This project integrates STEM concepts with literature

Students go to four different stations to observe how pressure, temperature, and volume interact to affect the behavior of gases. They will also utilize math skills for some of the stations in this

This is part 2 of a two-part series. This lesson looks deeper into early electronic encryption tools and how they relate to cryptography today. The tools discussed are: Hebern Rotor Machine, Enigma

The purpose of this project is to have students use their knowledge of series and parallel circuits to create an electronic greeting card or an electronic game. This lesson should be given after

The students in this lab activity will play a competitive game with a small bouncy ball. The students will analyze the motion of the ball and apply projectile motion concepts. This activity requires

In this lesson, students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator. Next, they graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their

Get the athletic shoes ready! Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs in this engaging lesson. The change in potential energy

How do light rays reflect and refract? Does light travel at different speeds in different mediums? This lesson reviews how light waves can be reflected and refracted, and how light waves can change

This hands-on lesson helps students understand exponential functions by using an LED circuit. LED luminosity decreases at an exponential rate as more are added in series. As students add more lights

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
