STEM Lesson Plans

The purpose of this project is to have students use their knowledge of series and parallel circuits to create an electronic greeting card or an electronic game. This lesson should be given after

The students in this lab activity will play a competitive game with a small bouncy ball. The students will analyze the motion of the ball and apply projectile motion concepts. This activity requires

Students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator, graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their linear line and then, hopefully

Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs. The change in potential energy (changing height) is the work they do (fighting gravity)

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be

This lesson plan focuses on Torque, assuming prior knowledge of Rotational motion, angular velocity, angular acceleration, Newton's Laws for linear motion. It also introduces Newton's laws for

This lesson assumes prior knowledge of basic electricity and magnetism concepts and focuses deeply on Induction. Levels adjusted 9 - 12, dual enrollment and AP Physics.

In this hands-on lesson, students create solid fuel rockets to explore the idea of parabolic motion and outside factors which can affect the path of a rocket. This lesson has enrichment involving the

In this engaging lesson, students will connect the path of a straw rock to the arc of a parabola. By changing the angle of the launcher, they will discover the relationship between distance and height

After becoming familiar with the factors that affect lift from the previous Flight Basics lesson and going over key weather concepts from this lesson, students will be expected to make a device to

Upon completion of this lesson, the student should know: • The relationship between Bernoulli's Principle and Newton’s Laws of Motion and how they were used to develop a machine that could fly. • The

This is an introduction to the Engineering Design Process described in Engineering Standard 2.0. This lesson guides students on learning rate of change and average rate of change as described in

The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn

The lesson plan challenges students to integrate research, agricultural principles, and engineering concepts, sparking their creativity in designing efficient and sustainable hydroponic setups. From

Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super

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

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

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.

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

Water Troughs on the Rez is a lesson plan to help students understand the mathematical perspective of everyday items around our homes on the reservation. Students are to share different types of water

In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.

This is a high-school level hands-on project that allows students to build their own working sundial, make predictions and assess their accuracy. This lesson ties in with the study of Kepler's Laws.

This lesson gives students another real life example of Newton's Second Law of Motion. Students will use force diagrams and Newton's Second Law of Motion to find their apparent weight as they

This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to
