STEM Lesson Plans

The purpose of this project is to have students use their knowledge of series and parallel circuits to create an electronic greeting card or an electronic game. This lesson should be given after

The students in this lab activity will play a competitive game with a small bouncy ball. The students will analyze the motion of the ball and apply projectile motion concepts. This activity requires

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.

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.

Students will solve mysteries using a digital scale, systems of equations, and their ingenuity! It enhances problem-solving skills and understanding of mathematical concepts.

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 lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to

This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to

Students will discover the different facets of building a business including product and market research, marketing, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.

Students will discover the many different facets of building a business including product research, marketing, finances, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.

This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and

In this lesson students will evaluate if mass affects the velocity of an object when dropped from a certain height.

This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture

In this lesson plan, students will embark on a journey to explore and understand the fascinating world of Moon phases. They will begin by sharing their prior knowledge and everyday experiences of Moon

Design robot cars that can park themselves safely without driver intervention. This can be done with LEGO EV3 or Spike Prime robots. Also possible with other robots, but instructions are not included.

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

Students will find ways to reduce Carbon Dioxide from the air through video and articles. After they evaluate this information, they will design a park or garden to help with the biosphere and carbon

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

This lesson plan involves dilation and scale factors and how the human eye perceives 3D when it only uses 2D images. The hands on activity is a perspective drawing of a city scape and teaches about

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will be begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of

The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of

An exploratory lesson on the relationship between pi and circumference. The students can measure the circumference of everyday items and explore the ratio of pi between the circumference and diameter

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
