STEM Lesson Plans

In 5th grade Social Studies we learn about the American Revolution and study evidence of Espionage used by the Patriots to win the Revolution. Prior to the activity students will read a variety of

Methane emissions are far more potent then CO2 emissions in the short-run in the atmosphere yet this is rarely covered in the media. Students will create a multi-media public service campaign to cover

Students will create an inclined plane using Pythagorean Theorem and will experiment with rolling objects and try to find a solution to reduce the speed through friction, or air resistance or weight.

This lesson plan provides material for two 90-minute periods. Day one provides guided opportunities to explore chemical equations and day two consists of 10 hands-on stations practicing and applying

It is a lesson that is based on Mathematical computation and Project based learning. Students have to find the proportional relationship between the surface area of the house and the paint to be used

By exploring seeds and the effects of different planting patterns/depths on seed germination, students will conduct exploration of varying seed depths in soil and keep track of growth and traits over

This lesson helps kids have an understanding of how our eyes capture light. A camera captures pictures of objects using a similar way so in this experiment, kids will be making a camera using simple

This is the planning and set-up stage for an experiment to see which type of gardening is the most sustainable and produces the best results. You will need to either choose or have students help

The students design and test a catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks and rubber bands. They learn about the history of catapults and also about the physical science concepts related to

After exploring recycling by reading "What a Waste" by Jess French and watching a video of Kenyan flip flop recycling project, students will gather recyclable materials from home and school to design

In this lesson, teams of 3-4 students will design and create scale models of four landforms that they chose. This lesson takes place in a classroom for 60 minutes, with an emphasis on the target

Learning how to plot coordinates using Lego Prime Educational Set. This lesson integrates technology and mathematics.

This lesson allows students to explore and build a tangible understanding of how and why changing side lengths impacts the overall volume of a rectangular prism. Students will explore how ratio

Students will learn about the history of the Ferris wheel while engineering their own out of Popsicle sticks. Students may work individually to create their own spinning ferris wheel An emphasis on

What is a geometric shape? Observe and discuss a variety of geometric shapes. Similar/different? Mathematical geometry vocabulary/activities with shapes Engineering a geometric playground Share or

Students will learn lots of information about the rainforest featuring the different layers, the animals, birds, plants, and other important concepts. Students will then use this information and

This lesson will implement chain reactions and simple machines into a Rube Goldberg invention. Students will learn about the Rube Goldberg and his crazy inventions. They will then create their own

Students will be learning about the Fibonacci mathematical design pattern. They will learn about the 3 different mathematical Fibonacci sequence designs, vocabulary, and creating their own art

This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture

This Lesson demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After

Mixtures and Solutions: Students investigate how various mixtures can be separated. While making a mixture of salt and water, connections are made to global water supplies and the amount of fresh and

Students investigate the movement of electricity within a circuit and examine how a circuit can be used to power a device where electrical energy is transferred to complete a task by making wobble

In the lesson, students will be able to build and explore how fractional edge lengths impact the overall volume of a figure. Students will gain a tangible understanding of how fractional edges impact
