STEM Lesson Plans

Use Dash Robots to retell a story, using key events, as the path that Dash travels.

Students will meet Edison, the programmable robot, and program the machine to do several tasks on its own. One way to program Edison is to use barcodes and a program called edblocksapp. What can you

Students will find ways to reduce Carbon Dioxide from the air through video and articles. After they evaluate this information, they will design a park or garden to help with the biosphere and carbon

Students will discuss a slow reveal graph about the amount of forest destroyed each year. Students compare two graphs and decide which is better at communicating the amount destroyed each year

In jigsaw groups, students create a food web about one of the 4 layers of the Rainforest on a Google Slide or Prezi. Students go back to their primary group and teach them about the food web in their

As a class, we research the abiotic and biotic factors of the whole rainforest. Students jigsaw and research the abiotic and biotic factors in one of the four layers of the Rainforest. Students create

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 utilize the Engineering Design Process to create a sailboat! Students, in order to continue a treasure hunt, must design and build a sailboat that will get them from on end of the channel

This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are

After learning about solar, students will create a device that can be used by the community that will run on Solar energy.

Students use Google Earth Timelapse to observe changes to glaciers over time before completing an investigation on the effects of melting sea ice and land ice on global sea level rise.

Before we can have a school garden, we need a place to put one. The task given to the students is to find a location on campus to place a garden with specific specifications. They will plan a garden

Students use Sphero Robots to create chariots that race in the classroom. Students utilize social studies, science, technology and engineering to complete this project.

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or kinematics.

What will the transportation of the future look like? What types of engineering or technology will vehicles feature? These Physics lessons explore both established and alternative forms of

What will houses of the future look like? This Physics project-based lesson helps students explore what houses of the future might look like based on their geographical locations and climate. Students

In this 2-part lesson students research the ways bats use their wings to defy gravity. They will interact with media to answer: How do bats use their wings to defy gravity? How are bat wings adapted

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

This lesson helps students understand the idea of conserving and using energy from the sun to create vehicles that strictly move on solar energy.

Students learn about passive solar energy and design and build a model of a passive solar house.

Use the Edison robots to tell a story from the perspective of an immigrant/emigrant moving through the US during the time period of 1700-to 1900 as it fits 5th grade Social Science Standards. Students

This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.

In this 8-part lesson series, 1st graders will use ScratchJr to design a maze game, exploring game design concepts, planning, coding, testing, and presenting their creations while fostering creativity

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout the unit, you will be introduced to the SDG principles and design process where you
