STEM Lesson Plans

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots

This lesson give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical

An integrated fourth grade math and geography lesson. This lesson is aligned to the ADE/NGSS Cross Cutting Concept of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity. The fourth grade social studies/geography

This lesson falls within our unit learning about the elements of the periodic table, how it is arranged and what trends exist within it. This lesson asks students to apply their knowledge of chemical

Students will develop a model of a city and have it be protected from "the clickers".

This lesson provides an overview of the differences between living and nonliving things. Students will be asked to compare and contrast living and nonliving things and describe the characteristics of

The "I've Got your Six! Programming Sensors for the Blind Community" is an empathy based project that teaches students to program electronic circuits. It is designed for the beginner in mind to walk

This is a lesson that engages students to critically read informational text, construct an argument with evidence, and engage in academic discourse about the nature, living or non-living, of viruses

In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn

Wildfires are a huge issue in Arizona during the dry season as there is plenty of dry fuel and very little water. Once an area has been devastated by fire, it is further destroyed by summer monsoons

This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks

Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant

This lesson will help children discover the phenomena: People say I have so much energy all the time and that the sun gives plants energy, is it the same?

Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

A good investigation for the fall when seeds are available. Some seeds will need to be collected in the spring.

This investigation focuses on how the speed of an object affects the amount of energy transfer.

Students explore throwing and/or flipping Ping-Pong balls through the air. Students develop questions to find patterns of how changing the energy put into the ball affects the motion of the ball

The investigation focuses on how a rubber band is used to transfer energy to an object.

Four 60 minutes class periods (dependent on student’s coding experience and ability) What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee

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
