STEM Lesson Plans

This is an engaging STEAM lesson where students can learn about the eight different biomes on Earth and create a creature that has successfully adapted to live in one of the biomes.

This lesson provides background information about a robot, the four components that make a machine a robot, and where robots are used in our society. Students will also be able to sort pictures of

The first part of this lesson reviews the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles using graph paper. Algebraic representations are introduced and students define variables and write equations

Students will examine the Gold King Mine spill on the Animas River in Colorado before creating a model watershed in order to develop an explanation of human impacts to Earth's systems.

Students use Google Earth Timelapse to observe changes to glaciers over time before completing an investigation on the effects of melting sea ice and land ice on global sea level rise.

Students use their knowledge of electric circuits to create light up greeting cards using LED lights

This is a phenomena based lesson where students will create a model to demonstrate the earth’s rotation during each season to investigate the change in light during the seasons

This is a solar panel investigation lesson using mini solar panels from Agrivoltaics Kits provided from U of A. Students will investigate how the direction and angle impacts voltage output.

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 challenge is for students to send a secret Morse Code message. This lesson has three parts: learning about Morse Code, understanding how radios work, and programming a Micro:Bit to send Morse Code

Students will upload their pictures into the Stop Motion app on the Ipad to edit with sound effects. Students will then be able to select a green screen background to use when they upload the film

Lesson 3 of 4 - This lesson focuses on students will begin taking photographs of their Lego “set” using the Ipad or Chromebook on a tripod to capture stop-motion movement with the individual pictures

A Stop Motion Animated Movie with a Green Screen background based off of a Lego Challenge built in Lesson 1. Students will create a storyboard and script. This is Lesson 2 of 4 lessons.

Part 1 of a four-part series of lessons that begins with a Lego Challenge which will become the set for a stop motion video created by students.

Different activities to do with students and families at a STEAM night. Programming robots, following an algorithm and creating a solution based on a theme of your choice. Plus STEM challenges and

In this first part of a three part unit, students explore the phenomenon of an LED light and a coin battery. They will discover the difference between a closed and open circuit, using a STEM journal

This is the second lesson of four part unit. Students will be exploring different ways to change the movement of an object. This lesson focuses on communicating the students' findings.

Students will construct geometric shapes in an engaging way with their Edison robot, then use their protractors to measure the angles they drew.

Students will work together to create a skyscraper using different types of materials. This activity aims to see how the shaking movements of the ground, called seismic waves, affect the skyscraper

This is the first of four lessons. In this introductory lesson, students will explore different ways to affect the movement of a marble while going through the Engineering and Design Process.

In this engaging elementary school lesson, students use the engineering design cycle to identify and solve problems, incorporating technology while reflecting on their process and sharing their
