STEM Lesson Plans

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 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.

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

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

In this activity, students will perform a hands-on, inquiry-based investigation of the tradeoffs involved in hard rock mining. The object is to purchase and develop a mine, safeguarding the

OBJECTIVES: Today we will measure the height, diameter, and circumference of a tree Today we will determine a tree’s age by counting growth rings Today we will determine how rainfall affects the

This lesson plan requires the prior knowledge of the students about the different operations with Integers. This will be an activity to master the concept about integers through a DaMath game. This is

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

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

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

OBJECTIVES: Today we will analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth for your sample Today we will graphically model that relationship Today we will extend and reflect on the entire

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.

Building on the programming concepts explored in part 1, this section asks students to re-imagine the ‘spiral-out’ program to be a spiral-in program instead. Designed to be a stepping-stone activity
