STEM Lesson Plans

This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song

Students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes.

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

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

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

Connect real world situations to the graphs of parabolas through flight. Groups will create PVC stomp rockets, collect data of their rocket's flight path and graph this path on paper to compare to

This lesson is designed to allow students the experience to move from an additive understanding in mathematics to a multiplicative understanding through the activity called Cootie Catcher. The

Explore scientific notation by traveling through the universe. Students will try to place objects in the universe in order from smallest to largest by using pictures, names and numbers in scientific

OBJECTIVES: Today we will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe Today we will identify differences between biomes Today we will collaborate with our peers to gather environmental

Make quadratics come alive with stomp rockets! This is a 3-4 hour learning experience where students will build and launch paper rockets, then use the data to create quadratic equations.

Students use fruit snacks or candy to create models of the molecules used and produced in cellular respiration. Materials: fruit snacks, toothpicks, modeling molecules student handout, Agenda: Warm-up
