STEM Lesson Plans

Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design

Have you ever wondered what the real reason was as to why Galaga was such a popular arcade game? Look no further this lesson has you covered. Students will create their very own modern version of

MS MakeCode is the perfect stepping stone into the world of Scratch. Students will be able to create a working video game in one class period. As we all know classic video games were not built over

This lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real world objects by breaking them

Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.

This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar

This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life

In this STEAM lesson plan students will engage in creative design using the Cricut. Students will be expected to design and build their own shoe design inspired by the Vans company. Through this

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course

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 use the Engineering Design Process to create a working foosball table. Students will also code a Micro:bit that they will use to keep score between the two teams.

In this lesson, students will take apart and identify internal components of a computer, tablet or phone. Then, students will write responses to critical thinking questions related to the design and

This lesson is intended to be the second lesson within a series. After the first lesson, exploring the transfer of power within a system, Students utilize this lesson, lesson 2, to explain how and

The goal of this engaging science lesson is to deepen students' understanding of magnets, electromagnetic forces, and their practical applications in real-world technology. Aligned with the 7.P2U1.1

This is a multi-day engineering design project. I use this for 2 weeks, a total of ten 50-minute periods. Students will research and design a dog house, creating a 3D model in a web-based computer

Students will learn and recall about the different parts and components of an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. Students will be able to program an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express

Students will be able to collaboratively build, and program a simple robot using Lego Spike Prime kits. Students will demonstrate basic skills in robotics and coding by successfully constructing their

Students will be able to learn how the hydraulic system works. With this in mind, you will be able to design a hydraulic marble game using materials provided. At the same time, they will be able to

Students will understand the basic principles of hydraulics by researching and presenting the topic to the class. Students will explore real-world applications and understand the basic hydraulic

This is an introduction to coding and computer science by way of making and design, using the revolutionary new micro:bit microcontroller board. The bootcamp lesson is designed to help everyone

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to develop a safe community for refugees and countries in crisis. Throughout the unit, you will

Students will level up from player to designer to earn their publishing license... all through play! They will become experts in repairing, creating and publishing video games using the Gamestar

This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They

This lesson shows how to make an electric car using a small motor and battery. Students created a car, attached a battery and on/off switch, and collected data. The data collection sheet is included
