STEM Lesson Plans

Students will read the book if you give a mouse a cookie. Students will be able to retell the story through coding. Students will place the different items throughout the board that the mouse

Assign your students elements from the periodic table and have them create tiles for their element(s). Once all the tiles are complete, you will have a unique periodic table for your classroom! While

In this engineering design activity lesson, students will first learn about Civil Engineers. Then, students will be given an engineering challenge to design a tower with specific constraints. They are

Studnets will be inspired to make a Lego Balloon car after listening and watching about lego cars. Students will be amazed as they engineer their very own Lego cars and making them move using a

In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and

In this lesson, students use their knowledge of electric power to design a model circuit that expends less electrical power. They do this by using the PhET Circuit Construction Kit: DC and they may

In this lesson, students apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law and describe the amount of current that flows through and the amount of voltage across a parallel circuit. They do these by exploring the

This lesson allows students to describe the amount of current and voltage, and apply their knowledge of Ohm's Law in a series circuits. They do this by using the PhET Constructing Circuits Kit: DC and

This lesson allows students to investigate the relationships between current, voltage, and resistance using an Arduino board and electronic components, and through the PhET simulation: Circuit

This lesson will help the students to identify methods to Analyze, Describe and Demonstrate a data set of their choice. In this lesson, we are using a digital evolution software called Avida, created

A high school physics plan that allows students to explore with different lenses and lasers.

Students will color a penguin with crayons and then spray water on their artwork. They'll observe how the water repels off of their paper. Discuss with students how the wax from the crayons keeps the

This lesson delves into Matter and why it matters. What makes it what and how we can change these substances.

A Makerspace is a common space reserved for creative exploration, engineering, tinkering, inventing and purposeful play. In a Makerspace, children have opportunities to discover, assemble, problem

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

This design challenge was open for any interested students from grades 9-12. Students met afterschool over the course of the second semester. This is the 3rd sequence lesson in a set of 4. This lesson

Students will understand the concept and properties of buoyancy and density, through a hands-on exploration with the Lakeshore Design and Play STEAM Kit Boats by assembling boats using a foam hull

During this lesson, the students are going to simulate the flow of electricity using positive and negative charges drawn on pieces of paper that they will pass around in circles. Instead of passing

Students will explore the different types of mouth parts and how their feeding needs are met. Students will 'pretend' to be insects with different mouth types and collect data on their success on

Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating ELA, Math, and Computer Science. With prompting and support, students will be able to ask and answer questions about key details in a text

An engaging read-aloud lesson integrating ELA & Computer Science. Students will listen to Balloons Over Broadway and be able to complete a compare & contrast diagram. Students will also complete a

The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.

In this lesson, students will learn about the role of a pollinator. They will have the opportunity to practice being a bee using their proboscis, wrapped candy and cheese balls.

In this lesson, students will watch a video discussing how birds have different beaks depending on what they eat. Students will then have the opportunity to examine the differences in chickens and
