STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is an introduction to Micro:bit. Students will learn parts of the device, as well as how to program and download a simple dice randomizer. Once the program is downloaded to the microbit

This is the 2nd set of 4 lesson plans that correlate with the novel "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs. This is a literature-inspired project base learning opportunity. The lessons include straw rockets

In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.

This lesson plan is about structures that are balanced using tension forces. Students will create their own tensegrity structure that will withstand a predetermined amount of weight. Students will

The lesson is adapted from resources created by the Green Drone AZ Project. This is module 1 of 4 featuring focused activities to address real-world environmental challenges within Arizona communities

Students design getaway vehicles for the Grinch, applying STEM concepts. Math, creativity, and teamwork merge in this engaging lesson inspired by Dr. Seuss.

This is best for high school AP/IB/Honors Biology students for using clay and miscellaneous items to model and then film their model of Cellular Respiration to better understand how the Electron

The Navajo Code Talker Mockup Radio Transmitter Project is an ELA/STEM hands-on lesson designed for 11th-grade students. This project-based lesson that involves students working in small groups to

Students use test strips and research to solve the issue of a fish death in our classroom tank. This would also work well for the initial setup of a tank. Students see a tangible, observable, real

In this activity, students will build a shelter that protects them (cotton balls) from a volcanic eruption of lava and ash.

Students create a scale model representing earth's history in order to analyze how life has changed on earth over time.

Students use an interactive map and ArcGIS software to analyze the impacts of climate change on global populations.

Students have the opportunity to explore solar energy and the engineering process by creating solar ovens. This lesson integrates communication skills, the engineering process, data collection, and

In this lesson, students explore the foundational concepts of electricity, delving into Ohm's Law and the principles of electric power. Through a series of engaging theoretical and practical exercises

Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and

Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.

A lesson to teach students how to collect, organize, interpret data, make inferences, raise awareness, and suggest possible solutions on the water quality of the waterbodies in the state of Arizona.

Students will solve mysteries using a digital scale, systems of equations, and their ingenuity! It enhances problem-solving skills and understanding of mathematical concepts.

This is the first of four lessons based on the novel Space Case by Stuart Gibbs. This lesson will help create equitable background knowledge for the literature-infused project-based learning project

Students will construct an explanation using evidence to demonstrate that objects can affect other objects even when they are not touching. They will explore electric, magnetic, and gravitational

Description: In this engaging lesson, students dive into the fascinating world of bone anatomy by creating styrofoam models of bones and simulating fractures. Through hands-on activities, students use

In this lesson, students will explore how energy works using circuits and stored energy.

This is the second lesson in a series of four lessons on building a robotic rover with the BBC micro:bit. In this lesson, students will design, model, and 3D print brackets for a TT motor to find the
