STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson begins the students' adventures into the wide world of drones. The lesson starts by exploring how drones (UAVs) are used in different fields. This lesson helps to gauge interest in

Students are constructing a cardboard remote control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors.

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

The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM

This engaging lesson is all about scale factor. Students will draw different items to scale. There is a Three Act Math, a DESMOS activity, and a Quizizz link to go along with the lesson!

Students will use evidence from an investigation to model and explain how thermal expansion of land and sea ice impact the sea level. They will quantify the impact of land ice melt and thermal

Saguaro cacti are collapsing in the Phoenix due to extreme heat and the urban island effect. Is there anyway to save them? This lesson allows students to investigate the factors contributing to the

In this creative lesson, students engage in the Engineering Design Process and explore e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.

This is a four-day lesson where students work in groups to design a fixture using LEGO bricks that holds a marker in an upright position while attached to their Edison Robots. Students code the robot

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 explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use

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.

This lesson plan aims to educate students on the art of cut flower gardening and inspire them to contribute to the beautification of Arizona through the cultivation of vibrant blooms. It emphasizes

Day 2! Students start the process of building their Estes Alpha 3 rockets all the way to completion!

Students will design and construct a prototype of a tiny house on wheels. They will use graph paper to draw out their ideal tiny house on wheels, ensuring the sizing of the rooms and ceilings are

Students will build landing gear to successfully land a rover on Mars.

Students use an interactive map and ArcGIS software to analyze the impacts of climate change on global populations.

This lesson walks students through the movement of air in the atmosphere and the energy that drives it. It contains a PowerPoint, activity, worksheet and assessment.

Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and

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 objective of this lesson is for students to use the design process to design their own solar dehydrator. When students are designing their own solar dehydrator, there are several key aspects they
