STEM Lesson Plans

Students will use their knowledge of special right trangles to create a unit circle on a real world 2D or 3D object.

Students will use their knowledge of adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials to solve the area of figures they create. This lesson has three parts and ties concepts of area formulas

Students will design and buid a Mars Resource Transport (basically a wagon) on wheels and axles. They have to meet build criteria based on volume and a budget for resources. The transport will be used

This is part 1 of a unit, other lessons are posted. In this lesson students will use prior knowledge of how wheels and axles work in order to create two symmetrical sides of a ferris wheel. This

Students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete. Students will be timed. Math vocabulary will be

This is lesson 6 of the Life Science Unit. Students engage in various learning opportunities. #1 Objective: I can count and graph camouflage animals. #2 Objective: I can camouflage a butterfly. #3

This is lesson 5 of the Life Science Unit. Students describe the life cycle of a chosen animal through photography or stop animation. This engaging lesson includes optional fiction read-alouds

This is lesson 2 of the Life Science Unit. It includes optional fiction read-alouds, picture sorts, STEM hands-on activities, journal prompts, classroom partner games that reinforce science content

In this hands-on lesson, students will have a teacher read aloud: "Rosie Revere, Engineer" and discuss the importance of perseverance and imagination while creating, building, and testing. They will

This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This lesson must follow Microbial Serial Dilutions. You can also use this lesson to screen for

Students will become a DESIGN TEAM. The team will be using the 4 C’s and the steps of the Design Process to produce an item for a chosen client. Students will focus on empathy to decide on components

This hands-on lesson is about solar power and creating a working solar-powered car.

This lesson allows students to explore the Law of Conservation of Mass through a balloon lab activity using baking soda and vinegar. Students will be able to develop a model to describe their findings

This lesson provides opportunity to our students to apply their knowledge in solving real world problems. The students will create a new design for a cereal box using math, art and design. They also

This is a multiple day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will

How can we design and engineer sports venues of the future that practice sustainability? According to the Green Sports Alliance, 17% of the world's population follows science but about 80% follow

This is lesson can be used alone to introduce the engineering design process. This lesson is 1 of 2 in an Engineering and Sustainable Design Unit focused on sustainability and sports. Students learn

This engaging lesson is 2 of 2 in data science inquiry. Students use their My Data Portraits from Lesson 1 data collection, analysis, presentation, reflection and discussion. Students are encouraged

Love it, kind of like it, kind of don’t like it, or don’t like it at all are typical responses to many things…depending on what we are being asked! During this investigation, we explore together, how

This hands-on lesson allows students to investigate how the length of a piece of string affects the speed and centripetal force on an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed and use

In this hands-on lesson, students build small-scale wind-powered cars. They construct an understanding that energy is transferred from the wind to the sail car. Students explain how they used

This hands-on lesson asks students to design and build a storage system that utilizes excess rainwater for the purpose of reuse in a garden. Students explore science, math, and engineering principles
