STEM Lesson Plans

A hands-on lesson that teaches students about simple machines and types of energy.

Students will help come up with a solution to support their community. While teaching them the importance of innovation through a picture book! Let's bring teaching through pictures and words back!

Students use a solar panel and motor to create a solar-powered amusement park ride that spins. Activity designed for students to work in teams. Students are provided solar cells, motors, propellors

Students will design, engineer and code a robot to do a simple task.

How could a zombie outbreak happen? In this lab, students will observe how quickly an unknown disease can spread by mixing water from a cup with their peers' water. Contaminated students have iodine

You've crash-landed on an alien planet and must find a way to survive with the help of native flora and fauna. Students will document alien life-forms in a field journal and use that information to

Engage your students by learning about the Ferris Wheel and constructing a ferris wheel in a collaborative assignment. The informational text of Mr. Ferris and His Wheel is linked for your convenience

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.

Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated

NASA needs Resilience to take pictures to send back to Earth for observation. Resilience needs a cell phone holder that can take pictures or videos from multiple views. Can you use Edison to design a

Students will examine the Gold King Mine spill on the Animas River in Colorado before creating a model watershed in order to develop an explanation of human impacts to Earth's systems.

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

The challenge is for students to send a secret Morse Code message. This lesson has three parts: learning about Morse Code, understanding how radios work, and programming a Micro:Bit to send Morse Code

This lesson helps students understand the idea of conserving and using energy from the sun to create vehicles that strictly move on solar energy.

In this engaging elementary school lesson, students use the engineering design cycle to identify and solve problems, incorporating technology while reflecting on their process and sharing their

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 lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons

Agenda: build a moving car robot Program their car robot using coding Share or present their car robots going through the maze Objectives: Students will learn how to Construct a moving car robot

Let's Fly is a great lesson for those teaching forces and motion. Find some balsa wood flyers through a STEAM source, take your students outside to play and let them observe. Then bring them back

Students will focus on the Engineering Design process, which includes researching, as well as making improvements to a design, with appropriate testing. Basic materials, pencil, paper, scissors, tape

You could do this together, step by step or give them all of the materials and information needed to do it by themselves. Could be a group activity or an individual activity so each student can take
