STEM Lesson Plans

Students will determine the best materials to use to build their school budget. They will create several garden models and determine which garden they ultimately want to build. Students will then

Students learn how energy transfer and electrical circuits energy are similar and different.

This is the third lesson as a part of the 4th and 6th grade crossover project. Lesson one introduces the students to the idea of abiotic and biotic factors and how they interact with each other

This lesson is intended to expose students to information about Environmental Changes and how Solar Energy affects living things. Students are challenged to design and build a shelter for a dog to

This is the 4th lesson plan in a set of 4 lessons that correspond to the novel "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs. In the last chapters of the book, we find that this main character encounters robotic arms

This is the third lesson in a series of 4 lessons that correlate to the novel "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs. This set of lessons is based on chapters 8 - 14. The lessons include creating a timeline

An Arizona 3rd grade standard is to learn about Arizona tribes ways of living, how they depend on their environment to shape their world. Students will use their hands, forearm, body height and hand

This lesson explores electrical energy/currents, the engineering design process, and coding (picture, block, and python) on lego robots!

This hands-on lesson introduces students to gardening and the sustainability of food. Students will grow small gardens and manage them.

In this hands-on lesson, students explore engineering and art as they use the same materials as the three little pigs to create a structure that would survive the blowing of a wolf (fan). Students

In this lesson, students will research Native American homes within different environments and create a model of a Native American home and highlight important information. They will then create and

This is a fun and engaging lesson where students work individually, or with a partner, to build a treehouse. Creativity and collaboration among students in my 4th grade STEAM Club were evident in the

Students will learn the principles of flight while also incorporating the Engineer Design Process as they construct gliders using pressed Styrofoam. In this hands-on lesson, students read a book about

Students will gain knowledge about Arizona's geography, culture, and history through the book "Santa is Coming to Arizona." Students will develop basic programming and problem-solving skills by

Students will learn about nanotechnology in medicine and the use of nanorobotics. In this hands-on STEM lesson, students create nanobot using simple materials like toothbrush heads, motors, and

In this lesson, students create paper rockets and measure the distance launched. Students are using the engineering design process and get to modify their design in order to increase the distance

MS MakeCode is the perfect stepping stone into the world of Scratch. Students will be able to create a working video game in one class period. As we all know classic video games were not built over

Students will read and respond to the story, I Am Not Just A Scribble by Diane Alber. Students will work with a peer or small groups to build a ScribbleBot using renewable materials and two AA

Using my backyard chickens as inspiration, this 5th grade lesson asks children to graph egg production and build a model of a chicken coop and run.

Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this

Students read The 3 Little Javelinas and experiment with making adobe bricks dwellings. Students analyze temperature data and describe benefits and drawbacks to using adobe.

This lesson is for 2nd-5th grade students. It covers a range of AZ science standards and connects to math, reading, and social studies concepts. It also incorporates STEAM hands on activities to
