STEM Lesson Plans

A look at all of the anatomy homeostatic responses that the body has. Each section has a lab or calculations

A lesson on what diabetes is, what is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, creating a food diary, how the sugar gets into cells, how to count carbs, how people with Type 1 diabetes

A look at the effects of dehydration and over hydration on the body and electrical conductivity of the heart. A look at what electrolytes are, basic heart rhythms seen on an EKG and how the heart

Students will dive into the fascinating world of parasitology as they collaborate in teams of three to analyze and evaluate the presence of parasites. The lesson aims to enhance both teamwork and

In this laboratory you will use the ELISA (Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) for detecting the presence of an antigen, such as a disease-related agent, from a sample of body fluid. You will be given

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 model examples from 3 of the 4 Macromolecule Groups, then film themselves describing their models with specific information about both the model and the Macromolecular group it is from

This is best for high school AP/IB/Honors Biology students for using clay and miscellaneous items to model and then film their model of Cellular Respiration to better understand how the Electron

The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and

This is part 2 of a two-part series focused on the effects of grafting tomato plants to potato root stock in order to create "pomato" plants. This lesson is written for junior high students but can be

This is a junior high lesson on plant grafting that can be done in a classroom setting or with an after-school club such as botany. This lesson can be easily modified for any grade level. In this

Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.

In this virtual reality frog dissection, students get to explore the anatomy of a female frog inside and out. The frog’s respective organs are scientifically accurate models to scale, allowing

A look at 3 different injuries and the different systems that are affected and the math behind the functions of the body and medical interventions.

This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This can be the start of the project or you can do lesson 1 soil microbes first. Though you do have

Students will experiment with light on plants to explain photosynthesis

This lesson has an inquiry hands-on approach, students design a protocol to isolate microbes and test how efficient their method is by comparing with the class results. This is presented under the

How could a zombie outbreak happen? In this lab, students will observe how quickly an unknown disease can spread by mixing water from a cup with their peers' water. Contaminated students have iodine

In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn

Plants are the basis for nearly all agricultural production. Agricultural plant crops produce food, fiber, fuel, and aesthetically pleasing plants. Plants utilize energy from the Sun to convert water

Lesson Summary: Students code sprites in scratch to animate the Central Dogma of Biology Materials: Laptops Agenda: The teacher will introduce a list of items like the following: aquarium, bicycle

Objectives: Today we will set up an investigation to see if a salt lamp affects plant growth. We will use what we know about photosynthesis and cellular respiration to make sure the plants have

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Integrate optimized components into an existing design. Provide plans for the project's

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the concept of homeostasis, then investigate how feedback mechanisms are used to maintain homeostasis during exercise.
