STEM Lesson Plans

Students will make clay pucks. Fire clay pucks and put into various fibers, materials, paper while still hot to see the effect of thermal shock on clay and the design each of the different materials

Students use magnets to investigate how unseen forces can act on an object. Students explore with magnets and work to design an investigation and create a model and explanation for how forces act on

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 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

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

This lesson is a fantastic way to introduce physical and chemical properties. It includes hands-on stations activities. In this lesson, students will be able to really see the properties of matter at

1. Present the project and explain the basic steps that the students will be completing over the next 2 to 3 class periods. • The students will be working and pretending that they work for an

How can you get objects from one location to a specific dropping point using a cable? Students utilize the Engineering Design Process and their learning of Newton's Laws of Motion, slope, mass and

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Students will explore the phenomenon of how a flashlight can produce light from muscle power. The goal is to represent and explain how energy transfers and how transformation occurs in a small crank

Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

Summary: Students will use their knowledge of Newton's 3 laws and knowledge of simple machines to design and construct a Rube Goldberg machine. Materials: Various materials for building, such as

Summary: In this unit students will analyze features of water cups for how effective they are at keeping our water cold while we are at school. Following the engineering design process, students will

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.

Summary: This lesson uses the children's picture book Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty and can easily be adapted for any grade level. Students will listen to the story of Rosie Revere and

This lesson introduces the first law of motion to students through inquiry and total physical response. Materials needed are Short videos of first-law examples, with no labels or explanations

Summary: In this lesson students will analyze features of water cups for how effective they are at keeping our water cold while we are at school. Students will then use this knowledge to design and a

Students will create Rube Goldberg machines from simple machines. The teacher can determine materials such as wooden planks, paper towel rolls, bottle caps, marbles, cardboard, hot glue etc.

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

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

The students can able to build a solar power car and test it if it works outside when there is a sun at the of this activity. They can able to discuss what solar energy can give to human through

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

Students will use 2-3 days to build a land yacht with Lego BricQ, test different winds and angles, and then use their lab to introduce Newton's third law of motion.
