STEM Lesson Plans

Students explore the solar system and space concepts (including microgravity, eclipses, etc.) using technology. Student choice is given with a choice board.

Students will meet Edison, the programmable robot, and program the machine to do several tasks on its own. One way to program Edison is to use barcodes and a program called edblocksapp. What can you

Students utilize the Engineering Design Process to create a sailboat! Students, in order to continue a treasure hunt, must design and build a sailboat that will get them from on end of the channel

In this 2-part lesson students research the ways bats use their wings to defy gravity. They will interact with media to answer: How do bats use their wings to defy gravity? How are bat wings adapted

This lesson helps students understand the idea of conserving and using energy from the sun to create vehicles that strictly move on solar energy.

Use the Edison robots to tell a story from the perspective of an immigrant/emigrant moving through the US during the time period of 1700-to 1900 as it fits 5th grade Social Science Standards. Students

A 4-8 grade STEM lesson 4 of 4 skills improvement and evaluation. Career outlook for UAV/Drone Pilots, paths to becoming a commercial drone pilot. A review of flight dynamics, and the steps that had

This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks

This lesson will take your students through the process of making a lunar phases flipbook. When flipped it will be animated and look like the moon going through each phase. Students will learn the

Students will discover: I put rotted food into a container with earthworms, where did the food go?

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

Students design and build air powered gliders. A fun way to teach and apply principles of force as they apply to flight including lift, gravity, thrust, and drag. Requires the same launcher used in

Students investigate and learn parts of an Earthworm inside and out. Students learn about the Earthworm life cycle and purpose.

This is one lesson in a two part lesson set. In this first lesson, students review balanced and unbalanced forces in preparation for how these forces apply to rockets! They will then research rocket
