STEM Lesson Plans

Students will determine the best materials to use to build their school budget. They will create several garden models and determine which garden they ultimately want to build. Students will then

Students will research and use math calculations to set up a classroom worm compost bin to compare to a classroom non-worm compost bin to be utilized for observation throughout the school year for

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar

In this lesson, students cover concepts like states of matter and chemical changes. Students will apply these concepts to an activity where they will make fake snow. Students will be challenged to

Students will be paired up, or a group of three if one odd number, and create a Mom and Dad creature with Dominant and Recessive Traits that get passed on to two offspring through the flipping of a

In this lesson plan, students will use Tinkercad to create a representation of a fraction in 3D. After, they will team up with other students to find the sum of the two fractions.

In this project students will be creating an agricultural community display. Students will need to create a proposal letter first to secure funding. Then they will create a blueprint that needs to be

This is a series of lessons that discusses the process and factors that may affect and may not affect seed germination. This also builds the background of the students about the needs of the plants

In this lesson students will be able to make their own slime using chemistry and chemical reactions then use their slime as a model for fractions while reading a short story called, "Slimey is Half."

Students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge.

Design robot cars that can park themselves safely without driver intervention. This can be done with LEGO EV3 or Spike Prime robots. Also possible with other robots, but instructions are not included.

Students start to build 3d models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.

Students are left stranded on an alien planet and must wait for rescue. In the meantime they have found some valuable resources from a previous space craft crash. Students encounter the aliens and are

With the cereal box the students created in lesson 1, they will design and create a new cereal. They can create a logo and an advertising plan.

Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots

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

This lesson walks students through reimagining a schoolyard space by calculating scale model and creating scale objects.

1. Present the project and explain the basic steps that the students will be completing over the next 2 to 3 class periods. • The students will be working and pretending that they work for an

This is the second lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production. In this lesson, students will research the best types of plants to grow

When exploring this topic, the students will gain knowledge about owning their own restaurant. They will engage in activities that will make them aware of the different styles of restaurants they can

Analyze and interpret data they have collected from an owl pellet dissection to answer a question. Use a dichotomous key to identify bones of prey species found in an owl pellet. List of Materials owl

In this lesson, students will be measuring the dimensions of the classroom, then calculating its perimeter, area, volume and (optional) surface area. Then they will participate in a design challenge

Students explore the limiting factors of yeast over 2-3 days. The materials needed are yeast, sugar, water, ice, tea kettle, empty soda or water bottles, balloons, graduated cylinder, string, ruler
