STEM Lesson Plans

Students construct models of various molecules, create histograms of the frequency of elements, and diagram parts of an atom. Students will deepen their understanding of matter--that tiny particles

In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on. The goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to explain the

Students will be able to identify the 4 main nutritional needs for chickens, and why they are needed. They will be able to read a recipe and create ratios based on the recipe. For this first lesson

Over two days students will build lego mazes to code their Sphero minis through. Materials needed are; the planning page, legos, Sphero minis, Sphero EDU App, iPads, and Lego build plates.

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a sturdy structure out of toothpicks and marshmallows that will withstand an earthquake simulation (a tray of Jello is used). This is an engaging way

Students will be designing and building a strong house able to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms. In the lesson, students will compare their work with the actions of a character from If I Built

This lesson plan is written for 7th grade science but can be modified to be used with any age group. Students will create petri dishes and will collect samples from bathrooms. Students will then

Students will grow to understand what decomposition is and why it is a vital part to their compost bins success.

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad. Materials: Computers with internet access Tinkercad accounts for each student (if your school does not

Integrating the Arts into Earth and Space is a culminating or review activity for 5th grade. This lesson is comprised of five engaging activities for students to complete: Collaborative Storytelling
