STEM Lesson Plans

In this engaging lesson, students will delve into the fascinating world of energy transfer and efficiency by designing and building their own solar-powered devices. Through hands-on activities

5E lesson plan for teaching middle school students (grades 6-8) how to use sensors to control motors and interact with objects on a field using block code with a system like LEGO Mindstorms.

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

In this lesson, students are introduced to RVR (Sphero) robots and program their robot to drive over to kindergarten students and read aloud a book. Younger students enjoy the ability to work with a

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.

Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.

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

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

In this five days lesson plan or a class project, I used a picture book, "Seeds of Change: Exploring Wangari Maathai's Tree-Planting Efforts". This lesson plan is great for 6th -8th-grade students. In

In this lesson students will demonstrate their deeper understanding of how the concept of slope is applied to the real-world construction of the wheelchair access ramp. Students will use the knowledge

Students will brainstorm, and make predictions of why an airplane can fly. The teacher will present the knowledge of aerodynamics to the students using video , and giving them opportunity to process

Students will create an airplane model that goes the fastest and farthest from point A to Point B and collect data of their experiment. To create a multimedia presentation showing the design of each

Students think about dipping a cube in paint, then count the amount of faces that are painted (either 1, 2, 3, or none) they then make a table with the data and are asked to find any patterns they may

Students will construct paper bridges with pennies acting as weight to see the proportionality between the amount of pennies it takes to collapse the bridge. Students graph their results to see a

Using Vernier motion sensor technology (not included) students will model their position vs time on Vernier Graphical Analysis.

In this lesson students will be able to make their own slime using chemistry and chemical reactions then use their slime as a model for fractions while reading a short story called, "Slimey is Half."

This lesson will implement chain reactions and simple machines into a Rube Goldberg invention. Students will learn about the Rube Goldberg and his crazy inventions. They will then create their own

Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math

Why do you think you use more or less water than the national average? Why do you think you use more or less water than people in other nations?

Students will learn about stop motion animation, how to create animation using Canva or Kapwing, and use the Engineering Design Process to create their own stop motion animation video.

After learning about solar, students will create a device that can be used by the community that will run on Solar energy.

This lesson has students build a half adder, a fundamental building block for digital computers.

Students will solder a solar panel, dc motor, propeller to a cap and produce cool air using solar energy.
