STEM Lesson Plans

Students will learn about Planets and Stars and their relationship with each other.

Students will identify the causes and effects of combining substances that result in a new kind of matter, as well as a chemical reaction. The teacher will do two easy demonstrations that show

Wildlife cameras are fun & surprisingly easy to use. If your students have never used any, check out a way to get them started by collecting meaningful image data to answer questions that they help

In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson

Within this lesson students will present their master-planned community to a test audience and potential clients. Focus on presenting to the client rather than reading information off the slide

This lesson can be used to reinforce physical science standards, engineering design concepts, and collaboration. Students will work with a National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run to construct a basic

Empower with solar, motors & wireless! Unravel renewable energy, motor tech & wireless applications in an engaging STEM journey.

Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.

Discover the power of hydraulics and pneumatics! Engaging in STEM activity on building systems and understanding fluid dynamics.

This is part 2 of a unit. The other lessons are linked within each lesson. During this lesson, students will be encouraged to collaborate and imagine different solutions in order to connect the sides

Students will design and buid a Mars Resource Transport (basically a wagon) on wheels and axles. They have to meet build criteria based on volume and a budget for resources. The transport will be used

This is part 1 of a unit, other lessons are posted. In this lesson students will use prior knowledge of how wheels and axles work in order to create two symmetrical sides of a ferris wheel. This

Students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete. Students will be timed. Math vocabulary will be

Students will become a DESIGN TEAM. The team will be using the 4 C’s and the steps of the Design Process to produce an item for a chosen client. Students will focus on empathy to decide on components

This lesson provides opportunity to our students to apply their knowledge in solving real world problems. The students will create a new design for a cereal box using math, art and design. They also

This is a multiple day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will

How can we design and engineer sports venues of the future that practice sustainability? According to the Green Sports Alliance, 17% of the world's population follows science but about 80% follow

This is lesson can be used alone to introduce the engineering design process. This lesson is 1 of 2 in an Engineering and Sustainable Design Unit focused on sustainability and sports. Students learn

This engaging lesson is 2 of 2 in data science inquiry. Students use their My Data Portraits from Lesson 1 data collection, analysis, presentation, reflection and discussion. Students are encouraged

Love it, kind of like it, kind of don’t like it, or don’t like it at all are typical responses to many things…depending on what we are being asked! During this investigation, we explore together, how

This lesson expands upon ASU's Ask a Biologist "Monster Manual" Activity to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Students learn about DNA and how we inherit traits through an analogy of decoding a

In this hands-on lesson, students build small-scale wind-powered cars. They construct an understanding that energy is transferred from the wind to the sail car. Students explain how they used

Students will select one building from their master-planned community to construct a 3D model that absorbs/releases 8% less than the surrounding testing environment.

In this lesson, students will learn about the history of flight and the technological advancements that led to modern aviation. Students will learn about how the study of birds and other flying
