STEM Lesson Plans

This is part 2 of a unit. The other lessons are linked within each lesson. During this lesson, students will be encouraged to collaborate and imagine different solutions in order to connect the sides

In this hands-on lesson, students will design, construct, and defend their hummingbird feeder design.

In this engaging lesson, students use a voltmeter tool. They will measure the milliamps of electricity in sports drinks to see which brand or flavor has the highest concentration and therefore more

In this lesson, students will learn about planets and stars and their relationship with each other. They will create a planet or star and then, as a group, create a song to present to the class.

This is part 3 of a unit. Links to the first 2 lessons are included. This lesson focuses on building the base for the Ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide

Students become engineers and create a modified adaptive device after disassembling and assembling eyewear and creating a new adaptive device in this engaging lesson. This real-world problem-solving

An ELA Lesson Plan focusing on Stormalong story with integration on Science and Engineering. Understanding characters, figurative language (hyperbole) and comparing two stories are the focus of this

In this lesson students will be creating a geometric design to create a stained-glass window. They will then assemble the window with pretzel rods, royal icing and melted Jolly Ranchers. Students can

This 90-minute lesson is focused on ELA with integration on Science and Engineering. The lesson will discuss about Ecology for Kids which target skill is getting the main idea and supporting details

In this hands-on lesson, students use making lemonade to practice lab procedures, measurement and ratios as well as learning about temperatures affecting saturation points.

In this engaging lesson, students study and design a healthy fish tank with a variety of animals. Students also learn about budgeting costs.

This lesson plan includes ideas and materials centered on Mark Kelly's book Mousetronaut. The students will be discussing gravity and listening to the book. They will then be participating in an

In this lesson, students will experiment with unseen forces and their effect on motion. Students will build a LEGO land sailing car that will be powered by wind produced from a fan. Students will

Today we will collaborate and communicate effectively with our peers to complete an engineering design challenge, building an obstacle course for a drone. Today students will be able to: To use manual

Students will use the engineering design process to plan and create a robotic arm that could be used in space exploration to places like Mars.

This hands-on lesson is geared towards an introduction to engineering and electronics in creating a simple nanobot from cardboard, a coin battery, and vibrating motor. Students use the engineering

By creating a stop motion animation, students will gain a deeper understanding of how landforms develop, are weathered, and erode. This is an engaging way to help infer the history of the current

Stop motion is a great way for students to slow down working through the steps in math to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts. Students can film a short story or step-by-step instructions

In this hands-on lesson, students explore unbalanced forces through a variety of learning experiences and reading material. They then create simple machines to demonstrate unbalanced forces.

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about and explore plant adaptations through various readings and pictures of plant adaptations. They study Venus Flytraps specifically and labels the different

In this engaging lesson, students will construct a small experiment demonstrating the relationship of momentum with mass, and velocity, then record that data. Students will take the data and create a

In this lesson, students will use the story of "The Three Little Superpigs and the Gingerbread Man" as the context to complete a hands-on STEM activity where they are responsible for building a trap
