STEM Lesson Plans

On Day 3, students take their journey to the next level. After gaining insights into plant life cycles and the crucial role of pollinators in the first two days, they now get hands-on and creative. In

This lesson teaches graphing in a variety of ways and looks at how data can be made misleading. Students will begin with a story and creating a behavior over time graph. Then they will engage with the

Students will be divided into 6 groups, one for each of the major systems in the human body, and create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.

Day 2 of this lesson plan for 1st-grade students plays a crucial role in bridging theoretical understanding with hands-on experience. It deepens students' knowledge of pollination, emphasizing the

In Day 1 (of 3) of our exciting journey, students embark on a captivating exploration of the natural world, delving into the mysteries of plant life cycles and the essential role that bees play in

Students will focus sunlight through a pinhole onto a sheet of paper. Knowing the distance between the projection and the pinhole allows students to calculate the diameter of the Sun using ratios.

In this engaging and interactive lesson, we'll immerse 1st-grade students in the fascinating world of bees and flower pollination. Using a hands-on simulation activity with colored powder, students

This is a lesson designed to teach students that everything they read on the Internet is not always true.

Imagine being stranded in the wilderness, far away from civilization, with nothing but your wits and a hatchet. You have to find a way to survive, to protect yourself from the elements, and to create

"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a young boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. While the book doesn't explicitly teach STEM principles, it

In this lesson, students will test Earth's gravity and how gravity affects objects of different masses. Students will see that mass does not have an effect but instead air resistance is what causes

This lesson aims to introduce the concept of equilibrium point by creating and revising a model. This hands-on lesson encourages students to explore the concepts of equilibrium and balance while

Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also

In this lesson, first-grade students will explore the concept of resource sharing in nature using dioramas. The lesson is designed to help students understand that living things, such as plants and

Lesson Description: In this first-grade lesson, we will learn about the amazing world of spiders! We'll start by exploring the life cycle of a spider, from when it hatches to how it grows and changes

Use slow reveal graphs to get students thinking about data in graphs. Students also create graphs using online data or data they have generated. Interpret, analyze, predict using graphs.

Students will learn how fingerprints are used to solve crimes. Students will then take their own prints, examine patterns within their prints, and compare/contrast the percentages for each type of

Students will create their roller coaster model, test the transfer of energy, measure the distance of how far their marble traveled and compare their distance to the distance of others. *Printable

In this lessons, students will work collaboratively to plan and prep the design of a roller coaster model. After planning a design, students will begin to prep the number of straight segments, curves

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about thermometers and determining the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit. They create a table of temperature readings for a minimum of 10 days and find

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to plan and create the longest chain. Then they will use tools to measure their chains.

Our planet recycles and reuses everything on it that is needed to support life. It is an amazing, giant recycling system called the biogeochemical cycle. You can actually model this on a small scale

Welcome to Robot Relays, Part 2! In this engaging lesson, students program and maneuver Edison Robots through student-made relay courses. This is the 2nd lesson is a series of 2.

Welcome to Robot Relays: Construct the Course! In this engaging lesson, students will apply the engineering process to create a series of relay challenges for their robots.
