STEM Lesson Plans

Students will use jelly beans to model the variation that results from sexual reproduction. They will use Punnett Squares to practice probability.

This lesson can be used to help introduce the idea of forces acting on objects at a distance. The focus of this lesson will be on magnets and magnetic force fields. This can then be used to help

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Students will construct a rocket by exploring the relationship of the mass in the nose cone to the success of a launch. Students will learn about "center of mass' and how to find it, as well as the

Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be

Agenda: build a moving car robot Program their car robot using coding Share or present their car robots going through the maze Objectives: Students will learn how to Construct a moving car robot

Students develop an understanding of patterns and how genetic information is passed from generation to generation. They also develop the understanding of how genetic information and environmental

In this lesson, students will create and test multiple helicopters to create a helicopter that lands the slowest in a given target. Students will take their best design and share with the class.

Students will be go on a nature walk, notice nature, and increase their observation skills. Students will be able to identify different plant types and make connections to the plant’s needs: sunlight

This is a lesson plan based on playlist model where students will learn Heat transfer by using a play list and picking the topics according to their own pace. The students will need a computer/ laptop

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

Summary - Students will be identifying the structures and functions of plant reproductive parts. Materials - Flowers, scissors, magnifying lenses, resource materials (internet/textbook)

Agenda: 80 minutes What is potential energy? What is kinetic energy? Computing speed/ unit rate Materials: Tapes Balloon Glue Straws Chipboards Wooden axles Rubber bands Plastic wheels Foam blocks

This is the second lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production. In this lesson, students will research the best types of plants to grow

Context: This lesson takes place in a classroom for one . Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on the target product (a freestanding tower that holds water) Creative solutions should

This is a lesson plan based on playlist model where students will learn Heat transfer by using a play list and picking the topics according to their own pace. The students will need a computer/ laptop

Summary- Students will redesign their egg protector for trial 2, record their observations, and respond to overall reflection questions for the project. Materials- Science Notebook Pencil/Pen

This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. I use Flipgrid, but you could use any other video app or website. Magazine

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

This lesson plan assesses motions and forces concepts through roller coasters. Plan, design and construct a successful roller coaster track that is capable of rolling a marble through its entire

This lesson takes place in as classroom for one or more 60 minute class periods. The data collection portion may continue for 2+ weeks (or whatever time frame you decide). An emphasis is placed on the

Summary: Students will use their knowledge of Newton's 3 laws and knowledge of simple machines to design and construct a Rube Goldberg machine. Materials: Various materials for building, such as

List of Materials- Science Notebook, Pencil/Pen, Reflection Questions Summary- Students are reflection and revising their egg drop protectors from the previous lesson. Agenda- Reflect on the first egg

Summary: Today we will identify the most common types of fingerprint patterns, demonstrate how to lift fingerprints off varying surfaces, analyze how fingerprints play a role in solving a crime
