STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson allows the students to experience the life of an interior designer. The students will be tasked to use their knowledge on area and perimeter as they design a layout for their own classroom

After learning about Ancient Egypt, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Egyptian Pyramid Prototype. Each group will be challenged to build a 4-sided pyramid that

This is the 3rd lesson in a series of 4. Students will discuss a slow reveal graph about the amount of forest destroyed each year. Students compare two graphs and decide which is better at

This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are

After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.

Students will discuss current baseball teams names and mascots. Then students are tasked to design a new team name/logo/mascot for a city/state that does not currently have a major league team

Students use Google Earth Timelapse to observe changes to glaciers over time before completing an investigation on the effects of melting sea ice and land ice on global sea level rise. This

Students will learn about what a batting average is in baseball. They will learn how you calculate it and represent it as they do in baseball. Students will also track hits and what results from them

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 detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house from Sketchup to Graph. Materials: Oversized Graph

This lesson is about basic school/home gardening. The lesson involves Science, Math, Technology and Engineering content. Students will be taught how to make basic gardens. They will need seeds, garden

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

This is a fun, low-prep activity. All you need is some cards and marbles. Students will build towers that are capable of holding a bucket of marbles. Once the groups have been tested, you will discuss

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students will read the novel, "The Lion of Mars", design & launch paper rockets, and then design a sustainable Mars Colony inspired by the novel. This hands-on lesson is scheduled to take around 15

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

This lesson plan involves dilation and scale factors and how the human eye perceives 3D when it only uses 2D images. The hand-on activity is a perspective drawing of a city scape and teaches about

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

Students will research and understand bird evolution. They will identify the functions of body parts and ecosystems. They will predict evolutionary changes that a specific bird will go through and the

The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of
