STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will combine the fields of coding and robotics with music to program an Ozobot to "sing" a familiar song. Students will learn about music concepts such as notes and octaves

This lesson teaches how to give and receive constructive feedback by using a group carousel feedback format, and how to create a compelling presentation using Keynote, Google Slides, or PowerPoint.

This lesson teaches 3D design using Tinkercad. It provides tutorials for teachers to use in a hands-on lab to orient students to 3D design so students can begin to draft their own prototypes.

This lesson introduces students to 3D printing. It provides some background videos on real-world 3D printing use, and then uses the Jot Notes technique to generate ideas for their own designs.

In this lesson, students will design and create a digital greeting card for a specific audience and purpose using coding skills learned in Scratch.

Students will take the rover models they built using LEGOs in Design a Rover Part 1. They will improve on their design in Tinkercad and build a model that will be printed utilizing a 3D printer. Their

The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to

This is an activity to enhance student understanding and comfort with taking photographs, editing them, providing feedback on them, and submitting them for display. Students use a camera device (iPad

In the lesson plan, students will embark on an exciting engineering challenge as they construct and program their own robot rovers to strategize a mission to the Moon. Throughout the lesson, students

Students will engineer a game with rules and directions to help understand and practice proportional ratios with as little material needed as possible.

Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow

This STEM lesson focuses on technology and engineering. It was written for 6th through 8th grade, but it can be adjusted to fit other grades. It was made for groups of 3-4, it could be used for a

~Students apply the engineering design process as they learn the advantages and disadvantages of the greenhouse effect. ~Students will work collaboratively to construct a miniature greenhouse to

This STEAM project will have us exploring some of the issues or problems associated with food and creating solutions to educate and persuade our community about how our food is produced and making the

This project encourages students to be more knowledgeable on the beauty and natural resources of the Grand Canyon State, Arizona, by creating informative posters and hosting a classroom gallery walk

Collaboratively, students will make a 3D-model of their chosen Arizona biome. Their model must show the different interrelationships between biotic and abiotic factors. After project making, students

It's 3D printing time! In this lesson, students will design a creation all on their own and input their design into a 3D printing program. They will then print their creations and become a maker!

When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars? Students will design a parachute using coffee

This lesson will allow students to learn more about 3D printing design and the engineering process. Students will brainstorm different needs in their community and people who could benefit from

Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by avoiding their predators. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able to

Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by finding the sources of food. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able

Students after learning how to use EDBlocks and EDScratch programming for Edison Robots will go to a younger class and teach those students how to do it too.

First of Four. Introduction to how Edison Robots work. Students will self discover some of the possibilities of what the robots can do.

Electricity and magnetism are fundamental to the workings of nearly every gadget, appliance, vehicle, and machine we use. This great 6th Grade lesson covers magnetic fields where students will be able
