STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson plan involves dilation and scale factors and how the human eye perceives 3D when it only uses 2D images. The hands on activity is a perspective drawing of a city scape and teaches about

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 use magnets to investigate how unseen forces can act on an object. Students explore with magnets and work to design an investigation and create a model and explanation for how forces act on

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

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

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

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

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

This lesson introduces the first law of motion to students through inquiry and total physical response. Materials needed are Short videos of first-law examples, with no labels or explanations

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

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.

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
