STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson students will engineer a moveable trunk like the one Stella the elephant has in The One and Only Ivan.

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

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

With the cereal box the students created in lesson 1, they will design and create a new cereal. They can create a logo and an advertising plan.

In this lesson, the students will plan and carry out investigations to explore sound propagation and its characteristics through simple activities. They will discover in which medium sound travels

This lesson allows the students to experience the life of an interior designer. The students will be tasked to use their knowledge on area and perimeter as they design a layout for their own classroom

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

Students will engage in a phenomena based lab in which they simulate relative dating of sedimentary rocks, an earthquake and volcanic eruption. In the lab, students will see how the layers at the

This lesson explores the concepts, "threatened", "endangered", and "extinct" while looking into the phenomena of population decline and extinction . Afterwards, the students will be creating an

In this hands-on science lesson, students will explore the fascinating world of flight and engage in the engineering design process to help a fictional character named Sticky regain the ability to fly

Students will design and build a Rube Goldberg Energy Transfer Project.

Students will solder a solar panel, dc motor, propeller to a cap and produce cool air using solar energy.

This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.

In this lesson you will have the opportunity to have students build a domain from the movie/book The One and Only Ivan. Students will have the chance to build and rebuild their domain if needed. As

This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.

Students will calculate the better buy to fill a gardening cube with soil. They will need internet access and/or store ads. They will also need to have completed the volume of their gardening cube

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house. Materials: Computer with internet access for

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They

This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song

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

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will be begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of
