STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is to help students create geometric shapes by writing codes to allow their robot to create the assigned shape.

Students will dive into the world of three-dimensional structures, shapes, and basic engineering principles through this hands-on lesson using Magna Tiles.

Students will create a community city by applying the concepts of area and perimeter using geometry shapes. This hands-on lesson incorporates the engineering design process and gives students an

Using my backyard chickens as inspiration, this 5th grade lesson asks children to graph egg production and build a model of a chicken coop and run.

Using The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as provocation, students will develop a project integrating math, science, engineering and ELA standards. Students will build a robot prototype and take it through

Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this

Students will be able to identify, understand and describe acute, obtuse, right, scalene, isosceles and equilateral triangles and use this knowledge to perform at the Sphero Rodeo! This lesson

Students design and engineer a paper backpack to hold all the supplies swallowed by the well-loved old lady in "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books". They follow the engineering design

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

Explore Coal Mine Canyon's wonders! Watch a documentary, read about geology, draw the canyon, and use tech to learn about geological layers. Fun, interactive learning awaits!

Students will be able to obtain, evaluate, and communicate evidence about how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations. Additionally, they will be able to

Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process to create a Valentine's Day mailbox to collect Valentine cards in the classroom. Designs will include a theme, geometry examples (angles

Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process Steps to design the bedroom of their dreams. Students will use mathematics (perimeter, measurement, area) when constructing their Dream

Students will understand the basic concepts of magnets and magnetic interactions. Students will be able to apply their knowledge to create and solve simple design problems using Magna-Tiles. Students

Understand geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. Apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills

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

Students will build a bridge out of toothpicks or craft sticks by using gum drops, marshmallows, and/or wood glue. The purpose is to have it stay upright between two chairs without breaking. Students

This lesson uses knowledge gained in parts 1 and 2 of this lesson. This lesson can be done independently if you do not have the other materials. Students will use many types of Snap Circuit sets to

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

Students will use the engineering and design process to create a marble maze.

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.

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

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.
