STEM Lesson Plans

Students will have fun building and testing with KidSpark observing and calculating forces such as load and effort.

Students will read and respond to the story, Room on the Broom. Then students will plan and create a sturdy broom to hold as many pumpkin candies as possible.

The "From Farm to Table" unit will provide 2nd grade students with an understanding of the journey food takes from the farm to their tables. Students will explore the water cycle, plant life cycle

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

Students create a city and a plan for a route fro Thanksgiving parade with floats coded by robots. The students build the buildings along the parade route using area or addition/subtraction houses

This lesson plan has three main objectives. The first is that students will be able to recreate a map of the canal with 3D structures along the way. The largest structure being Casa Grande, or the

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

To provide students with a hands-on experience of growing plants from seeds while learning about the plant life cycle, seed germination, and plant needs.

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 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

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to plan and create the longest chain. Then they will use tools to measure their chains.

Students will use the engineering design process to plan and build a robot using recyclable materials and identify geometric shapes in the robot.They will also use tally marks to keep track of the

Using "The Yummy Alphabet Book" as a read aloud/ discussion starter, students will investigate the growth and taste of cilantro by growing it from seed to compare/contrast the function, size, and

This hands-on and engaging lesson followed a unit on the Gingerbread Man. Students were challenged to build a bridge to get the Gingerbread Man safely across the body of water, so he doesn't get eaten

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

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

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

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

2nd grade students will work collaboratively to describe, illustrate, and communicate their understanding of the states of matter involving liquids, solids, and gases. The lesson includes extension

This lesson gives students an opportunity to apply the concept of measuring to a real world experience of measuring plant growth over time.

This lesson delves into Matter and why it matters. What makes it what and how we can change these substances.
