STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson the students will listen to the book THE WATCHER: Jane Goodall's Life with the Chimps and then engage in building a tool to collect the most ants in a timed setting.

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

In this hands-on lesson, students explore engineering and art as they use the same materials as the three little pigs to create a structure that would survive the blowing of a wolf (fan). Students

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

In this primary Kindergarten-1st grade STEM lesson, students will learn to define algorithm, bug, and debug in reference to programming. Through engagement with a virtual simulation, students will

After listening to the story Gingerbread Cowboy, students will use the Engineering Design Process to build a bridge for the Gingerbread Cowboy to safely cross the river.

In this lesson, students will listen to the story "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in order to understand the engineering project. Students will be introduced to the science concept of force and

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

Engage 1st graders in hands-on exploration of simple machines! From classifying to building, this interactive lesson fosters STEM skills and real-world connections.

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

This 45-minute lesson uses the book, "How to Catch an Elf", to lead into a cooperative engineering design lesson where students work in teams to build a humane trap to capture an elf.

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

Launch into a fun activity! Students will be building a rocket, then blow into the straw inserted and watch how high their rocket flies. This fun activity can be done indoor or outdoor. Students can

Students will listen to a story then participate in a Round Robin discussion. After the Round Robin activity, students will make a reindeer and race it against another student's reindeer.

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

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

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.

Students will use engineering skills, critical thinking, math and balance, and collaboration to build a home for a visiting Hedgehog. The materials are straws, string, wooden blocks, material/fabric

In this engaging and interactive lesson, we'll immerse 1st-grade students in the fascinating world of bees and flower pollination. Using a hands-on simulation activity with colored powder, students

In this lesson, first-grade students will explore the concept of resource sharing in nature using dioramas. The lesson is designed to help students understand that living things, such as plants and
