STEM Lesson Plans

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to develop a safe community for refugees and countries in crisis. Throughout the unit, you will

Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument

After learning about emission spectra, electron energy levels, orbitals and configurations, and periodic trends for atomic radius and ionization energy; this is concluding activity that require

This interactive 4th-grade lesson plan focuses on erosion and weathering, key concepts in understanding Earth's geology. In "Dynamic Earth," students use an interactive simulation to explore how

This is the fourth and fifth lessons of 7 in the Take-Off & Landing unit. This unit is the first for the Aeronautics 2 students. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from

This is the first of 7 Take-Off & Landing Lessons. This unit is the start the Aeronautics 2 lessons. Students must have completed the 8 Basic Handling Unit lessons from Aeronautics 1 course. (See

This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to

This lesson is an activity to show how projectile motion and many other motions in nature fallow a parabolic curve. Students will manipulate that knowledge and analyze data using small play tanks to

Explore Coal Mine Canyon's wonders! Watch a documentary, read about geology, draw the canyon, and use tech to learn about geological layers. Fun, interactive learning awaits!

In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and

I use this lesson as a fun activity to visualize unit conversions and the immense scale of the universe. I love this lesson because I find it challenging to teach unit conversions with hands-on

Through this project, students will explore the concept of the "robot brain" and its relation to AI. Understand the basics of circuits as a model for the functionality of a robot brain. Create a paper

Students will compare and contrast homes and technology from 50 years ago to the present day. Students will engineer a SMART home gadget that can be implemented in to the SMART homes of the future.

Students will understand the basic concepts of magnets and magnetic interactions. Students will be able to apply their knowledge to create and solve simple design problems using Magna-Tiles. Students

Understand geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. Apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. Develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills

This is a density lab involving hot and cold water layering, salt density layers, and a PHET online lab simulation.

Students will discover the different facets of building a business including product and market research, marketing, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.

Students will discover the many different facets of building a business including product research, marketing, finances, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.

This lesson provides a quick and easy to understand introduction to Binary code. In this lesson, we focus on binary numbers whereas, subsequent lessons can focus on the binary alphabet.

Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases

This lesson could be a Part II for the 3D modeling atomic theory lesson using Tinkercad, or this lesson can be delivered independently. In this lesson students fill out an atomic theory timeline and

Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline
