STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson uses vermicomposting to apply virtually all of the science & engineering practices as well as several in math. Enough for a unit but a few stand alone pieces can help your students get to

Students will learn the basics of coding concepts such as sequencing, algorithms, and conditional statements, while also reinforcing math skills related to counting and addition. They will be using a

This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or

Students will explore a solar panel kit. They will measure all aspects of the kit and create a scale drawing, using proportions.

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "This Is a Book to Read with a Worm" by Jodi Wheeler-Toppen, students will learn about the functions and the structure of a worm and how worms affect the garden.

This is part 3 of a unit. This lesson focuses on building the base for the ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide enough to hold their wheel and tall enough to

This lesson is about geometric shapes. Student will watch videos of the solar system. They will see how many geometric shape are in the solar system.

In this lesson, students will begin by exploring how animals can damage the plants in a garden bed. They will view and discuss the structures of various framed garden beds. Finally, they will design

Students will complete an area word problem using the design process.

Students will be introduced to the career of architecture. They will use the design process to create a city with peers.

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "Up in the Garden and Down by the Dirt" by Kate Messner, students will learn about all the elements that make up a garden. Students will also plant a seed into a

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "What's Inside a Flower?" by Rachel Ignotofsky, students will be learning about the structure of flowers. This is a great introduction to plant growth and gardening

Students will identify the causes and effects of combining substances that result in a new kind of matter, as well as a chemical reaction. The teacher will do two easy demonstrations that show

This lesson explores why architects and engineers use cylinders in building structures. Students will be introduced to the concept of biomimicry. They will observe cylinders in plants and compare and

Using a voltmeter tool, students will measure the milliamps of electricity in sports drinks to see which brand or flavor has the highest concentration and therefore more beneficial

In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson

In this lesson, students will explore the different physical and chemical properties of matter. They will observe their ice cream ingredients change their properties to make a new substance. Students

This lesson can be used to reinforce physical science standards, engineering design concepts, and collaboration. Students will work with a National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run to construct a basic

Students will design, construct, and defend their hummingbird feeder design.

Empower with solar, motors & wireless! Unravel renewable energy, motor tech & wireless applications in an engaging STEM journey.

Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.

Discover the power of hydraulics and pneumatics! Engaging in STEM activity on building systems and understanding fluid dynamics.

This is part 2 of a unit. The other lessons are linked within each lesson. During this lesson, students will be encouraged to collaborate and imagine different solutions in order to connect the sides

Students will digitally create objects on a four quadrant background and use the unit circle reference angles to estime the angles and radians their object are at.
