STEM Lesson Plans

The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM

Students will understand the concept of Scoville units, learn about the scale's origin, and explore the factors contributing to the heat of peppers. They will also engage in hands-on activities to

Students work together to measure the lengths and angles of a maze in order to create a scale drawing of it. They then use EdScratch to program their Edison robots to navigate the maze.

Have you wanted to set up a STEM Night at your school? This has all the documents and stations that we used at our 5th grade Family STEM Night.

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

In this lesson, students are challenged to make a wind sock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.

In this lesson, students are to use simple materials to create a structure that holds weight. It must be able to stand on its own. Students will first study and discuss gravity.

This lesson pairs STEM with the book -Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Students will discuss characters, their relationships to the Greek Gods, the importance of the Greek Gods

After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of

Students engage in the Engineering Design Process and e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.

Students work their way through the first two parts of the engineering process in order to get a deeper understanding of an environmental problem- trash. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is certainly

Students will learn about the relationships between traits of humans and animals. They will use real examples to relate their vocabulary to their everyday lives and then put it into practice by

This is a four day lesson where students work in groups to design a fixture using LEGO bricks that holds a marker in an upright position while attached to their Edison Robots. Students code the robot

Students use research and observations to plan an ideal area for our school chickens. Students build the needed structures and work together to create the chickens' home.

In this geometry/coding lesson, students embark on an exciting journey with Elsa and Anna from Frozen using Code.org. The lesson introduces fundamental coding concepts through interactive puzzles and

Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.

In this lesson, students will explore how temperature and pressure can each affect the states of matter. Students will develop a plan and a hypothesis, and will the conduct their experiment to analyze

Part 1: Rotation and Revolution (of Earth) Phenomenon: Why do we experience periods of day and night? This is a 1-3 day lesson with five activites primarily focusing on rotation of the Earth which is

Students learn about abstract art and engineering design techniques. Students put them to use by creating a cardboard abstract likeness of themselves. They also use video to record their presentation

In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use

This lesson is called shape sculpture and the students will fashion a sculpture out of celluclay. Initially the students will create a 2D drawing of a cake design (or cupcake or doughnut depending on

Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students

In this lesson students learn about absorbency and are introduced to the colorful world of tie-dying as a way to recycle stained shirts.

In this lesson, students review key architecture components found in Ancient Greek Architecture and are challenged to create a multi-layer structure to hold their body weight. Students use the
