STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will continue to build on their knowledge of electric circuits by testing materials for conductivity. Students will use Makey Makeys and random supplies to generate a

In this lesson students will learn how to maintain their drones: replace batteries and propellers. The students will conduct a propeller altering experiment to determine the effects of changing the

Get ready to engage with some hands-on activities that will illustrate the mechanics of calculating both kinetic and potential energy and unravel the equations for these essential parts of physics.

Students are constructing a cardboard control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors. In this lesson, students will begin working on the electrical

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 lesson includes various activities involving the investigation of why the moon changes shapes. It is a hand's on lesson about how and why the moon phases occur. It also includes a design and

This two day Mini-Unit will take students through observations of cats and their own physical characteristics. Students will graph data and potentially create a bar graph to reflect their observations

This lesson is for 2nd-5th grade students. It covers a range of AZ science standards and connects to math, reading, and social studies concepts. It also incorporates STEAM hands on activities to

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

Students will understand the concept of Scoville units, learn about the scale's origin, and explore the factors contributing to the heat of peppers. They will also engage in hands-on activities to

This lesson is all about scale factor with a literature connection. Students will be drawing different items to scale. There is a Three Act Math, a DESMOS activity, and a Quizizz link to go along with

Have you wanted to set up a STEM Night at your school? This has all the documents and stations that we used at our 5th grade Family STEM Night.

Students will be able to utilize multimedia resources, such as online simulations and interactive videos, to explain the process of natural selection and provide examples of how it leads to species

In this lesson, students are introduced to the use of synthetic pigments (biomimicry) in things they use everyday to make art. Students use solvents to separate colors and study chromatography in

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

This lesson pairs STEM with the book -Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Students will discuss characters, their relationships to the Greek Gods, the importance of the Greek Gods

Saguaro cacti are collapsing in the Phoenix due to extreme heat and the urban island effect. Is there anyway to save them?

Students engage in the Engineering Design Process and e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.

Students will learn about the relationships between traits of humans and animals. They will use real examples to relate their vocabulary to their everyday lives and then put it into practice by

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

In this geometry/coding lesson, students embark on an exciting journey with Elsa and Anna from Frozen using Code.org. The lesson introduces fundamental coding concepts through interactive puzzles and

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.
