STEM Lesson Plans

This is a series of 4 lessons lasting 30 minutes each. This is the first of two slide decks of lessons focusing on worm inquiry and technology. The lessons in this slide deck use digital microscopes

This lesson is to help students create geometric shapes by writing codes to allow their robot to create the assigned shape.

In this lesson, students will relate The Very Hungry Caterpillar to a butterfly's life cycle. Students will learn the four main parts of a butterfly's life cycle and then use the indi robot to create

In this lesson, students will practice the skill of sequencing the main parts of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Students will then use the indi robot and coding tiles to create a model

This lesson plan is designed to give students the opportunity to learn about and implement bar graphs, line graphs, and picture graphs. Students will make physical graphs as well as digital graphs

Students will explore the concepts of sound and rhythm through a STEM-focused lesson plan that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with music. Students will engage in hands-on

Coding a robot to solve a math problem has made math even more fun! In this lesson, students will work with a partner to write a code that will enable the robot of their choice to successfully solve

In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot and collaboratively solve addition problems using critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They will then become detectives to solve the

In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot. They will collaborate with their peers and use problem-solving skills and critical thinking to learn about coding and how to create an

Take your students on a STEAM adventure through the creation of sock puppets. In this lesson students will display their understanding of sequence of events when recounting and writing a story. They

Students work in groups of 2-3 and use Bee-Bot robots to practice using a map key and symbol cards to program the Bee-Bot to find locations on a map. Students program, test, and modify their algorithm

In this lesson, students will understand the basic functions and components of an Edison robot. They will collaborate with peers to demonstrate basic programming concepts by providing simple commands

Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating Math and Computer Science. With prompting and support, students will be able to Identify coins by name and value using Sphero.

Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating ELA and Computer Science. Students will be able to identify words and phrases in stories that suggest feelings. Students will also use

Students will learn how robots help complete repetitive tasks for humans. Robots use a series of steps that are programed into their circuits. It must be done systematically and include each step, in

In this lesson students will be able to program Dash to retell the story they read. Students will be able to run their algorithm and debug as necessary. An Added challenge is for students to create a

This is a two part lesson Part one: Encourage reading in a fun way! Students choose a book they have read and write down the story elements. They will program Dash to retell their pre-recorded story.

Students will listen to the story Iggy Peck Architect and create a bridge using available materials to see if it can carry weight.

In this 8-part lesson series, 1st graders will use ScratchJr to design a maze game, exploring game design concepts, planning, coding, testing, and presenting their creations while fostering creativity

Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is

Create a Bee-Bot board game, and program the Bee-Bot to move through the game board. Students will use the steps of the engineering design process as they work as a team to create and play their game

Students collaborate to create mazes for the Bee-Bot robot. Students also work in teams to plan and create programs to move Bee-Bots through the maze. For this lesson, students work in groups of 2-3

The students will create a Three Sisters Garden by participating in a teamwork activity, listening to a read aloud, watching a video, creating a diagram, planting the garden, and creating a video

Sound: Fill glasses with water and other liquids at different heights to produce sound.
