STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson allows students to visualize the vast scale and immense sizes of object in the solar system. This activity can be calibrated by the math levels of your students, so they are not left

This is a great opportunity to show students that coding can be a lot of fun, and it doesn’t have to be scary. Many high school students with little to no prior coding experience often automatically

This lesson introduces the students to what are antibiotics, how they work, and why they are important. At the same time, it also talks about how an organism becomes antibiotic resistant. The students

In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.

Students have the opportunity explore different materials that use nanotechnology and then discuss the key differences between macroscale and nanoscale impacts on those materials.

This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.

Students are introduced to the concept of nanotechnology with a small group research activity about the different industries using nanotechnology.

This lesson is the beginning stages of planning for a greenhouse. Students work to gather data and information about possible locations for the greenhouse by using their perimeter skills.

This lesson is a great introductory lesson to the engineering process. This activity will have the students design and build a glider to go as far as possible. They will also need to collaborate and

This lesson gives students a real world opportunity to explore area and the distributive property by designing a dream room. Students are given the total square footage and instructions to design the

Part one of a four part project exploring the movement of the brain upon impact in everyday activities. This lesson uses Pocketlab Voyager sensors to analyze brain movement in high impact activities

Students will use an understanding of the sun as an energy and heat source to design a device to direct the sun's heat to aid with growing plants. The students will go through the 5 E's and the

In this lesson students learn about how to generate power from wind turbines. Students test the efficacy of their creations and attempt to modify their turbines for better output. Depending on skill

The students construct and interpret an HR Diagram to better understand the significance and usefulness of the diagram.

This is a high-school level hands-on project that allows students to build their own working sundial, make predictions and assess their accuracy. This lesson ties in with the study of Kepler's Laws.

The lesson targets high school students. It aims to impart a solid understanding of genetics and probability through hands-on activities featuring Wisconsin Fast Plants. Covering an introduction to

Students will be exploring the different structure and functions of both plants and animals. After some researching and hands on activities students will create a glider inspired by a bird of their

Students design and create a sculpture out of recycled materials and then calculate the surface area and volume of the sculpture that they created. They will then utilize the surface area to try and

In this final lesson, students will use a life expectancy model to figure their likelihood of dying at a certain age They will use this answer to calculate their best life insurance policy, and

Students will orient to the varied rates of death that depend on age. They will learn how to check for conditions of valid sampling designs that let them use the Normal curve for modeling their sample

In this lesson two of four, students have to estimate and guess how much weight each of four factors has on a person's life expectancy, which often causes discomfort. They will ask you for direction

In this first of a four-part unit, students are introduced to the question under investigation: How much life insurance should I buy to cover myself when I am 45 years old? To answer this

Today students will continue their studies of simple block programming with the use of the Edison robot. Students will start using the barcode and then transition into block coding using Edscratch

Students will gain an appreciation of M.C. Escher's tessellation artwork and process and be inspired to create their own tessellation.This lesson combines math, art and technology by using an
