STEM Lesson Plans

Students get hands on learning about 2D cross sections of 3D objects.

Students will use technology (or paper/ pencil) to create a monster using specific polygons. They will measure and describe their monster to a partner who will then re-create that monster based on the

In this lesson on Genetic Variations, Inheritance, and Natural Selection, students will explore how genetic variations occur in offspring through the inheritance of traits or mutations. They will also

In this lesson, students are introduced to a crime scene where they must work in groups and rotate through four stations to solve the murder of Geoffry Dormer. The stations include fingerprint

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

With the cereal box the students created in lesson 1, they will design and create a new cereal. They can create a logo and an advertising plan.

This challenge uses the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff by Paul Galdone as an introduction. Geometric shapes are highlighted to discuss strength and how they apply to bridges in the real world

Students will be asked to design and build a playground using the given materials construction paper, toilet paper/paper towel rolls, jumbo/regular popsicle sticks, and glue/tape. They will learn

As part of a unit on renewable energy, students build and collect data on a solar powered fan. They learn about agrivoltaics and build a model of a racking system. They explore angles and energy use.

Students will apply their knowledge of food chains within ecosystems to the design of a mandala. This lesson will combine science, visual art and geometry. First, students will get a review of food

Students design a 3D bubble wand in Tinkercad and print on a 3D printer.

Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard

This lesson plan will give you an idea on how to deliver the Area of Rectangles topic to your classes which will make your students enjoy and interact during the discussion. This will require some

This lesson allows the students to experience the life of an interior designer. The students will be tasked to use their knowledge on area and perimeter as they design a layout for their own classroom

Students use Edison robots to create and code a large path (or maze) of their own design for Edison to navigate. Students should already be familiar with Edison robots to be successful in this task.

Get ready to embark on an exciting adventure that connects you to the incredible world of the humpback chub, an endangered fish species found in the mighty Colorado River. In this exploration, we will

After learning about Ancient Egypt, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Egyptian Pyramid Prototype. Each group will be challenged to build a 4 sided pyramid that

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

In this hands-on science lesson, students will explore the fascinating world of flight and engage in the engineering design process to help a fictional character named Sticky regain the ability to fly

Students will listen to the story Iggy Peck Architect and create a bridge using available materials to see if it can carry weight.

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.

The first part of this lesson reviews the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles using graph paper. Algebraic representations are introduced and students define variables and write equations
