STEM Lesson Plans

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

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

Students will use the engineering and design process to create a marble maze.

This lesson uses knowledge gained in parts 1 and 2 of this lesson. This lesson can be done independently if you do not have the other materials. Students will use many types of Snap Circuit sets to

In this hands-on lesson, students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete and will be timed. Math

This is part 1 of a unit, other lessons are posted. In this lesson students will use prior knowledge of how wheels and axles work in order to create two symmetrical sides of a ferris wheel. This

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

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

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

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

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

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy

In this lesson, students explore geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. They apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. This gives students an

Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process Steps to design the bedroom of their dreams in this engaging lesson. Students will use mathematics (perimeter, measurement, area) when

Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process to create a Valentine's Day mailbox to collect Valentine cards in the classroom. Designs will include a theme, geometry examples (angles

Students will be able to obtain, evaluate, and communicate evidence about how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations. Additionally, they will be able to

Explore Coal Mine Canyon's wonders! Watch a documentary, read about geology, draw the canyon, and use tech to learn about geological layers. Fun, interactive learning awaits!

Students create a city and a plan for a route for a Thanksgiving parade with floats coded by robots. The students build the buildings along the parade route using area or addition/subtraction houses

Students design and engineer a paper backpack to hold all the supplies swallowed by the well-loved old lady in "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Books". They follow the engineering design
