STEM Lesson Plans

Students will have the opportunity to discuss growing conditions needed for a healthy plant and what to do when the optimal choice may not be available. In this lesson students construct hydroponic

In this set of hands-on labs, students will explore friction and the effects of different types of surfaces on motion. They will have a chance to test motion with cars as well as create hover board

This lesson uses Edison Robots but any programmable robot can be used. Students explore how to block code a robot to create a sequence of events. Their program is tested for accuracy and revised for

In this engaging lesson, students will construct a small experiment demonstrating the relationship of momentum with mass, and velocity, then record that data. Students will take the data and create a

In this lesson students will show the proportion of freshwater compared to saltwater on Earth. Students will define the problem of having a limited amount of fresh water using evidence gathered from

More VR integration in the classroom, oh my! This is the second lesson of a two-day exploration of chain reactions. On day one, students received a general overview of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg

VR in the classroom, oh my! This Day 1 lesson provides students an introductory understanding of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg and his machines, the Oculus (Meta) Quest 2, the online game Dynamic

In this outstanding lesson, teachers facilitate students to design and build Meet Edison Robots for Cougar Clash “BattleBot” robot battle classroom tournament. (We named ours Cougar Clash as your

This is the final lesson for the How do sunflowers grow? unit. In this lesson, students will plant their sunflowers outside. They will continue to monitor the growth of their sunflowers. They will

In this lesson, students will measure their sunflowers for the first time. They will also create their growth over time graphs for their sunflower growth. This is the 3rd lesson is a unit series of 4.

In this lesson, students will plant their sunflower seeds in a cup and complete their first observations in their sunflower diaries. This is the 2nd lesson in a unit series of 4.

This is the 1st lesson in a unit series of 4 covering plant growth. Students will brainstorm ideas about what plants need to grow. The teacher will read a book about plant growth. Then, the whole

This lesson plan has a focus on drawing/creating a scaled drawing and 3D model of our nation's busiest airport airspaces. This hands-on lesson allows students to explore 3D modeling and the topic of

This is the 2nd lesson is a 2-part series. Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise

Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise by JPL/NASA starts students off with a

This lesson focuses on developing understanding of root systems, especially regarding surface area. The lesson has students creating their own root systems and justifications for the types of roots

Students will redesign the front face of the school, to improve the curb appeal. Students will identify space by using math equations to properly create a plan for school makeover. Students will use

In this hands-on lesson, students will demonstrate their understanding of robotics and coding by creating a course for their robot to move on. The course will include turns, circles and straight ways.

In this hands-on lesson, students explore unbalanced forces through a variety of learning experiences and reading material. They then create simple machines to demonstrate unbalanced forces.

Do the colors of our world attract sunlight differently? In this lesson, students will use color and temperature to test and graph answers to this question. Provided are certain links to read

Today we are engineering marble runs. To do this we will: Share ideas Brainstorm and sketch plans Count and measure Collaborate and communicate effectively with others

Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will: Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans Build
