STEM Lesson Plans

This is part 2 of a two-part series. This lesson looks deeper into early electronic encryption tools and how they relate to cryptography today. The tools discussed are: Hebern Rotor Machine, Enigma

This lesson is a follow-up to the lesson titled "Creating Sustainable Solutions with Bioplastics Part 1". In this lesson, students evaluate different ingredients for bioplastics and create a minimum

In this lesson students evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of conventional, petroleum-based plastics, bioplastics, and their different varieties. The lesson is driven by class/group research

This lesson includes a slide show and FITB notes page introducing Urbanization in a HS Environmental Science class. Benefits and drawbacks of urbanization are discussed, with a documentary about

This is a lesson geared toward junior high and high school classes to introduce students to the idea of cryptography and encryption. This lesson could be simplified for younger students by removing

In this creative lesson, students choose to be heroes saving an endangered species or to be villains eradicating an endangered species. They create their origin story, finance a plan, and end with a

In this engaging lesson, students move the learning from within the classroom to outside its walls in order to study and record air quality readings (with no tech and tech applications). Students gain

This lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real world objects by breaking them

Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.

This project allows students to research and "sell" the Sharks and their competitors on their energy or fuel source. A strong emphasis on research is embedded with the ability to interject with daily

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.

Students begin by using the Google Sunroof website to compare the cost/benefits of installing solar panels on a home's roof using different financial methods- buying, leasing and renting panels. After

This lesson has students create a dynamic poem, using at least 3 particular Literary Elements, that describes the form and function of a particular Anatomy & Physiology term. The students will also

Students will model examples from 3 of the 4 Macromolecule Groups, then film themselves describing their models with specific information about both the model and the Macromolecular group it is from

This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students

In this lesson, students will learn about desert plant and animal adaptations and the concept of biomimicry. Students will discuss examples of biomimicry in nature and in the real world and will

The lesson is adapted from resources created by the Green Drone AZ Project. This is module 1 of 4 featuring focused activities to address real-world environmental challenges within Arizona communities

This is best for high school AP/IB/Honors Biology students for using clay and miscellaneous items to model and then film their model of Cellular Respiration to better understand how the Electron

A lesson to teach students how to collect, organize, interpret data, make inferences, raise awareness, and suggest possible solutions on the water quality of the waterbodies in the state of Arizona.

This lesson plan will equip the students with the basic understanding of the forms of electromagnetic waves. It also includes a hands-on activity on assessing EMF radiation levels in classrooms that

This lesson will be an introduction and review of common anatomical language used to describe relative positions, body sections, and body regions that communicate information about patients

Description: In this engaging lesson, students dive into the fascinating world of bone anatomy by creating styrofoam models of bones and simulating fractures. Through hands-on activities, students use

This lesson is intended to be the second lesson within a series. After the first lesson, exploring the transfer of power within a system, Students utilize this lesson, lesson 2, to explain how and
