STEM Lesson Plans

Explore the design world of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Students will gain an understanding of Frank Llyod Wright's organic design philosophy and view a variety of his architectural designs

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.

Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.

Students will use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity. This solar energy is transmitted through cables to the motor and then to the fountain. The fountain pressure increases and

Introduction to Robotic programming using the Wonder Cue robot with the blaster. Using Block coding or Javascript, teach the students to create a series of instructions that move the robot through a

Students will build an obstacle course for a robot to traverse using geometry concepts. They will build prisms & cylinders and calculate volume and surface area. Once their obstacle course is built

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house from Sketchup to Graph. Materials: Oversized Graph

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.

An exploratory lesson on the relationship between pi and circumference. The students can measure the circumference of everyday items and explore the ratio of pi between the circumference and diameter

Students will be creating their own arcade games with recycled materials. One idea can change the world! **Notes to admin - I have the hand out documents but they are not yet attached**

This lesson provides opportunities for students to immerse themselves into the world of Jurassic Park. The students will read the novel, Jurassic Park and be able to research one of the dinosaurs

This lesson will go over the book Balloons Over Broadway. The students will read the book, then do research the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade beginning and how floats are made today. The students will

Today, students will calculate the volume of a cube. They will work on measuring and determining how much soil they will need. What is volume? How do we find volume? Volume of gardening cubes

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

Summary: In groups students will construct a Rube Goldberg device made completely out of found objects that includes at least 5 simple machines and students will identify the energy transformations

Summary: In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on, the goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to

Students will learn about the physics of motion and force and use those to create a mini-golf course hole that has obstacles and an environmental awareness theme.

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad. Materials: Computers with internet access Tinkercad accounts for each student (if your school does not

This lesson plan assesses motions and forces concepts through roller coasters. Plan, design and construct a successful roller coaster track that is capable of rolling a marble through its entire

Model Building For Disaster is a 4-6 week unit in which students research natural disasters around the world and their effect on developing countries. Following their research, student teams design

Students will be creating an obstacle course and utilizing edison robots and edScratch to program robots to go through the course. Materials: Edison Robots and anything needed to create the obstacle

This lesson plan will the students appreciate the concept of volume since the students will be involve in the process of learning. They will be the ones to measure the dimensions of the real-life

This lesson teaches students how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones there is a discussion about preparing the drones for
