STEM Lesson Plans

Students will use engineering, art, science, and 21st century skills to create a support system to keep Santa safe on Christmas while delivering gifts down the chimney!

This lesson, is one to make your students taste buds jump for joy as they get to create their very own edible eyeball cookie. This is a great STEM lesson to use when learning about the parts and

This lesson takes a student's understanding of both light and sound to the next level. In this lesson students will use their understanding of both art, science and technology to create a visual and

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

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 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.

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 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.

Students will understand how we see objects. They will learn that your eyes see objects when light hits an object and reflects off the object into your eye. They will also be able to identify the

Students will work to discover an understanding of the part light plays in seeing color. They will work with looking at colors in red and blue light. They will expand on what they explore during these

Students will learn the real primary colors by analyzing a decomposed image and experimenting with different paint colors to understand the primary colors of paint are cyan, magenta, and yellow.

Students will understand the concept and properties of buoyancy and density, through a hands-on exploration with the Lakeshore Design and Play STEAM Kit Boats by assembling boats using a foam hull

Students use various material to build a boat to sustain a given amount of weight.

Could Iron Man actually survive a super hero landing? In this lesson, students follow the engineering design process to create a "suit" for an egg to protect it from being dropped on the ground. They

Mad For Magnets is a lesson plan for K-4th grades. Scholars will learn about magnets, how they attract and repel, north and south poles to apply to the assigned challenge. Scholars will design and

In this lesson students learn about forces and motion by designing cars with materials provided in the Lakeshore Learning Design & Play: Cars materials. Students will measure distance driven, reflect

Students will use Lakeshore Learning's Design & Play STEM Kit - Planes to explore aerodynamics and investigate how to modify plane design to go further distances.

This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider
