STEM Lesson Plans

Encouraging students, from a young age, to think about their interests, dreams and goals lets them see possibilities for the future. As students listen to their thoughts and put those thoughts into

In this integrated 3rd-grade lesson, students will explore different landforms, learn about fractions, and use technology to enhance their understanding. The lesson begins with an introduction to

In this lesson, students design, build and test model candy cars made from simple materials. They measure the changes in distance and travel by the addition of revision of design features. Students

Students will create a solar system scroll using fractions so that they are able to represent fractions on a number line using a real-life application, while also learning about the scale of the solar

Students will investigate the relationship between light, objects, and the human eye by creating a DIY kaleidoscope. Students will take measurements throughout the project.

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
