STEM Lesson Plans

Students will use the Edison Robot as a base to create a robot capable of drawing a circle on a piece of paper. Design, modification, testing, and collaboration are all in the hands of the students

Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and

Students will learn about engineering design and redesign. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to plan and design a boat structure. They will build a clay and paper

A 1st grade lesson plan asking students to create a model to classify dinosaurs into different groups according to similarities. Following the classification, a classroom discussion about the ways

In this lesson, students will participate in a hands-on activity to learn about area and perimeter while also learning about structures and functions of plants by designing a garden space that

This is a 3rd grade lesson plan in which the students explore how sound travels and causes vibrations in waves. The students will explore how difference in wavelength affects sound vibrations.

Students will be read the book: "Oh Say Can You Seed?" by Bonnie Worth and Aristides Ruiz Students will learn new vocabulary for the parts of a flowering plant and identify parts together. Students

In this investigation students will explore how vibrating matter creates sound and how sound can make matter vibrate.

Students will explore the function of three different decomposers, take observational data and then analyze the data with questioning and explanation of the impact of decomposers on their environment.

Using prior knowledge of vertices, angles and sides, students will explore the traits of six shapes, polygons and non-polygons, and correctly categorize shapes with corresponding traits.

Using the Engineering Design Process, students work in teams to create a covered wagon that the Bee-Bot pulls as they program on a mat from Missouri to Oregon. Students are learning about the Western

For this lesson, students will learn about simple machines (wheel and axle). They will learn what they are and how they work. The students will then use criteria and constraints in order to

By exploring seeds and the effects of different planting patterns/depths on seed germination, students will conduct exploration of varying seed depths in soil and keep track of growth and traits over

This lesson helps kids have an understanding of how our eyes capture light. A camera captures pictures of objects using a similar way so in this experiment, kids will be making a camera using simple

After exploring recycling by reading "What a Waste" by Jess French and watching a video of Kenyan flip flop recycling project, students will gather recyclable materials from home and school to design

In the final part of A Light in the Dark (pt. 3 of 3), students create their solution to the problem based on their chosen theme. Students present their final solutions to be evaluated.

In this continuation of A Light in the Dark (pt. 2 of 3), students research their questions and consolidate their learning, then determine their next steps in the process to solve the problem.

This lesson introduces the unit exploring light pollution and possible solutions students can create. Students will explore what light pollution is. Students will determine next steps in the process.

This lesson guides students in building a hydroponics system using recycled materials.

This lesson takes this classic story and opens a door to the science that is hidden in what is happening in the environment. Students will dive into what a lion is, and their ecosystem. Art is also

Students will learn lots of information about the rainforest featuring the different layers, the animals, birds, plants, and other important concepts. Students will then use this information and

This Lesson Plan demonstrates how sound waves work. It also helps kids work with their peers and expand their understanding of how sound waves can cause vibrations which can cause matter to move

Students will learn about animals and their traits in a 3 day hands on and engaging investigation. This lesson has links to supplies that may be purchased to help your lesson be successful.
