STEM Lesson Plans

Students will learn about Tony Sarg, the Puppeteer of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and will learn the history of the parade. Students will then design and create their own balloon character for a

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 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

This is part 2 of 2 where students will be conducting a life science experiment with their Worm Worlds created from part 1 and finding out what a red wiggler's favorite food is.

In this lesson, students conduct an experiment that answers the following driving question: Which type of bedding do red wigglers like better- coconut husk or shredded cardboard? This lesson allows

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

In this lesson, students will learn about the Life Cycle of a Plant and what plants need to survive. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the cycle by completing a Life Cycle worksheet

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

What is a geometric shape? Observe and discuss a variety of geometric shapes. Similar/different? Mathematical geometry vocabulary/activities with shapes Engineering a geometric playground Share or

In this lesson, students will create airplane models after reading Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty. The focus of this lesson is to help students understand the test and improve sections of the

This is the second part of a fun introduction to engineering. In this lesson, students will create a board game with recycled materials based on a story they have made.

This is the first part a fun beginning introduction to engineering. In this lesson, students will create a board game with recycled material based on a story they have made.

Students will read the book if you give a mouse a cookie. Students will be able to retell the story through coding. Students will place the different items throughout the board that the mouse
