STEM Lesson Plans

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

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

This lesson combines ELA (reading and discussing the story), engineering (design a balloon with materials given and attach the balloon to an EdBot), and technology (code an EdBot to run the parade

A coding activity for the STEM teacher that has to participate in Literacy Night at school! This activity/lesson will introduce students to coding as a fundamental element of literacy and ties in well

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

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 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.

Simple Machine: Pulley, helping Rapunzel escape the tower

This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening

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

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete
