STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson students will discuss why they would use a 3D printer to create a planter pot? Students will also brainstorm "What features are important for a planter pot?" Finally students will

In this set of lesson plans for "A Song for a Whale" by Lynne Kelly, students will investigate compasses and whale migration. The final project for the novel is a choice board of activities that

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

The lesson will help teachers and students who are learning the basics of 3D printing. There will be a list of vocabulary, video, student discussion, sketching a prototype and using Tinkercad to

In this lesson plan students will use fractions to design a space for a flock of chickens. Using only 2 Items they will have everything they need for this lesson.

This STEM lesson combines Math, Science and a bit of Engineering. Students will walk through the process of raising chicks to hens. Using pretend chicks and research to collect data about how they

What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along

Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant

This is an Agricultural STEM lesson designed for primary grades. It shows how worms break down organic matter (a banana peel). The students will measure and observe the decomposition overtime. They

Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is

This lesson is an introduction to CAD, possibly leading up to 3D printing. The idea is to be familiar with CAD and more specifically the TinkerCAD application.

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

The following lesson is an engineering design lesson, with the optional ELA or Math component. Students will use popsicle sticks to construct a Truss Bridge and/or an Arch Bridge. Students will

Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about

In this STEM Challenge, the student’s task is to listen/read the story "Not a Box" by Antoinette Portis and use their imagination to create their own unique designs and structures using simple

In this engaging lesson, students measure throw-ins and convert their data to meters by dividing by 100. They will evaluate measurement systems and decide the best measurement size. You will need

Students will be able to identify the 4 main nutritional needs for chickens, and why they are needed. They will be able to read a recipe and create ratios based on the recipe. For this first lesson

Analyze and interpret data they have collected from an owl pellet dissection to answer a question. Use a dichotomous key to identify bones of prey species found in an owl pellet. List of Materials owl

This lesson takes place in as classroom for one or more 60 minute class periods. The data collection portion may continue for 2+ weeks (or whatever time frame you decide). An emphasis is placed on the
