STEM Lesson Plans

This hands-on lesson introduces students to gardening and the sustainability of food. Students will grow small gardens and manage them.

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

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 learn about hibernation and adapting to the winter cold. They will build shelters with different insulating materials so that their animals do not get cold. They will then do a gallery

Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using one of six different flours provided. This lesson is the first of three lessons that takes

What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate

This lesson is designed to promote hands-on, project-based learning that connects various disciplines. It emphasizes the importance of real-world applications and encourages students to think

Day 3 of a 4 day unit (with an optional day 5) on hydroponics, urban farming and vertical farming. Students will learn about hydroponics used on the International Space Station and vertical farming

Day 1 of a 4 day unit (with an optional day 5) on hydroponics, urban farming and vertical farming. Students will learn about hydroponics used on the International Space Station and vertical farming

Students will explore beginning coding thru binary coding and creating a name bracelet.

This is the culminating activity of the 8 part lesson series on simple machines. Students will put together everything they have learned about each individual simple machine to create a complex chain

In this lesson students will: Identify screws in our world; Discuss how screws make work easier; Plan and construct an Archimedes Screw Provide and receive feedback through peer critiques

In this lesson students will: Identify wedges in our world; Discuss how wedges make work easier; Plan and construct a canoe of their own design that incorporates a wedge shape to make it more

In this lesson students will: Identify wheels and axles in our world; Discuss how wheels and axles make work easier; Plan and construct a wind powered care of their own design that uses wheels and

In this lesson, students will: Identify levers in our world; Discuss how levers make work easier; Plan and construct a catapult that uses a lever Provide and receive feedback through peer critiques

In this lesson, students will: Identify inclined planes in our world; Discuss how inclined planes make work easier; Plan and construct a marble maze of their own design that uses inclined planes

In this lesson, students will: Identify pulleys in our world Discuss how pulleys make work easier Plan and construct an elevator of their own design that incorporates a pulley Provide and receive

This lesson serves as the introduction to an 8 lesson series or unit on simple machines. This series will present dozens of activities to introduce your students to simple machines, culminating in the

This lesson plan focuses on force and how it can be applied through the paper ball launcher. Students will build a launcher using the engineering design process and use the model to hit a target at

Students create a reindeer to learn about force and see how far their reindeer can fly. They can track their distance and make improvements on their reindeer. Enrichments students can see how weight

This is a multi-day lesson on the lifecycle of a pumpkin starting with how long it takes for pumpkin seeds to produce a sprout. There is also an art element using geometric shapes to introduce the

Just like many things we do in our lives, pumpkin growth and coding follow a pattern. Children will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and fill in a practice page that talks about the pumpkin's life

In this STEM Challenge, students add materials to help their rock roll better. Then, they examine how to push and pull their rock.

On Day 3, students take their journey to the next level. After gaining insights into plant life cycles and the crucial role of pollinators in the first two days, they now get hands-on and creative. In
