STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson students will use simulations to collect data about changes in specific traits of a population over time. Students will then use the data create graphical models to explain natural

The lesson introduces Boolean operations as a tool for searching and then relates the effect of the Boolean operator to the similar effect in Boolean logic as a means to introduce Boolean logic and

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete

In this hands-on lesson, students learn how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones, there is a discussion about preparing

Students code robots to match different distance time graphs. For each graph the teacher stamps their paper and they move on to the next more difficult one. Students will be able to replicate the

This engaging lesson is designed to simulate how scientists look for patterns in evidence to make claims, and back them up with reasoning. There are some important takeaways that students will make

Connect real world situations to the graphs of parabolas through flight. Groups will create PVC stomp rockets, collect data of their rocket's flight path and graph this path on paper to compare to

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Students will explore the different types of grow mediums and grow lights used in the systems

Students in this lesson will be recording weather data for the city that each student has chosen for 2-3 weeks. Students will be able to record and analyze weather patterns for a selected city

• Student teams will work together in small groups to identify important story elements in a familiar story, then develop a plot diagram using Bee-Bots. • In a small group, students will use code to

Students will create their own cut-out stop motion animation videos using the iMotion app. Students will learn about stop motion animation, plan and create a storyboard, and then actually engineer the

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationships for Circular Motion for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment, collect data

This lesson is designed to allow students the experience to move from an additive understanding in mathematics to a multiplicative understanding through this activity called Cootie Catcher. The

In this lesson, students will show how heat transfers into an egg during the hard-boiling process, and additionally, different methods of how heat can transfer out of an egg during the cooling process

In this fun lesson, students will develop a simple sketch and a physical model of a float to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. They will then

Students will create their own cookie cutters to fill a custom order in their bakery. They will need access to 3D design software like Tinkercad and access to a 3D printer. It's even more fun when you

This lesson is to introduce students to coding using EdScratch and Edison Robots. Students use LEGOs to build a house for grandma and figure out a way to keep her safe.

In this interactive lesson, students will create a Duplo Lego Vehicle and test how forces affect motion. Students will be placed in groups of 3-4 and be given a force to test. They will decide which

In this interactive lesson, students take three days to create a maze using Gravitrax kits and pieces. Students then use their maze to create a model and explain where they see Newton's Laws of Motion

In this lesson, students will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe. They will identify differences between biomes and collaborate with peers to gather environmental science data

This is about a one hour lesson where students work in small groups of 2-4 to get their robot around their table using estimation of centimeters. Students will write a program in Blockly that gets the

In this fun lesson, students create models of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets that can go on robots. They experiment with light and movement to demonstrate the rotation of sun, earth, and moon using

In this fun lesson, students solve addition or subtraction equations. They will show their answers on a math paper or grid by coding a Bee-Bot to show their answer. This is a great way to incorporate

In this engaging lesson, students research ramp usage as a class, identify the problem of Dash Dot vs stairs, design a ramp for a Dash Dot, and test the ramp while making connections to literature and
