STEM Lesson Plans

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

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

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

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. Link to 1st lesson and helpful

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. Links to the 2nd lesson

Students will follow the Engineering Design Process to create a hoop glider out of straws and index cards and explore the forces of flight. Students will work on the 4Cs skills as they work together

In this lesson, students will learn about a variety of fossils and graph what they have learned. Students will also research about a dinosaur of their choosing and write about it.

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

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 learn about engineering design and redesign a water delivery systems.

Students will use live seedlings and available information about seedling and the Sun's energy to determine the best location for the plant to thrive.

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.

The lesson is designed to engage 3rd-grade students in hands-on exploration of scientific and mathematical concepts using the Dash robot. The lesson aligns with the Arizona Science Standards for 3rd

This lesson is a dissection of a flower native to Arizona. Students will identify the parts of the Arizona Yellow Bell, while learning what characteristics are needed to make a flower in Arizona

How could a zombie outbreak happen? In this lab, students will observe how quickly an unknown disease can spread by mixing water from a cup with their peers' water. Contaminated students have iodine

In this hands-on lesson, students collaborate with partners to create a game in which they practice their multiplication and division facts. This is an engaging way for students to develop fact

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

Students design a 3D bubble wand in Tinkercad and print on a 3D printer.

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
