STEM Lesson Plans

This hands-on lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or

The lesson will help teachers and students who are learning the basics of 3D printing. There will be a list of vocabulary, video, student discussion, sketching a prototype and using Tinkercad to

This lesson is designed to have students investigate how objects, of different masses, will be affected when dropped to Earth. The lesson begins with a phenomena video - this video connects the idea

This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic

Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered

In this lesson, students will observe the different ways a sheet of paper can fall. They will face two challenges with paper, the final challenge being to create and test a parachute for a small

Students have a book to read about the three states of matter. Students experiment with the three states of matter of water. They record their observations in their STEM notebook. Students look at a

In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

In this lesson the students will learn to identify some common household substances whether it is acid or base using red cabbage juice.

This is the third of a 4-lesson unit on the North American Kestrel. Students will follow blueprints to measure out the sides of a professionally designed nesting box, then help put the box together.

In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn

Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic

GROWING CRYSTALS PART 1, A lesson that focuses on the different types of formation of crystalline solid, its properties and the attractive forces responsible to it during chemical bonding. It is

This lesson plan describes the different process points of construction of a Truss Bridge and why these bridges are useful. This lesson plan includes objectives, assessments and some samples of Truss

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along

Students will observe and investigate the shapes of bubbles. They will then create their own wand in a different shape to see if bubbles are always round or if they can create a different shape.

Students will investigate the difference between amplitude and frequency to see which one transfers more energy. Students will collect data, graph their data, and complete a written conclusion.

This lesson, adapted from NOAA, focuses on tides. Students pretend to be a ship captain delivering materials to a construction company. However, their ship must go under a bridge. Students must find

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They

This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song

In this unique and engaging lesson, students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes. They will collaborate and communicate effectively with their

In this hands-on lesson, students illustrate and find the area and perimeter of the rockwool pattern. They also create an expression to represent the number of seeds needed to plant their rockwool
