STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson was for 2nd/3rd graders in an after-school class. Students were not familiar with 3D printing or Tinkercad. We spent 3 days to complete. Day 1 was learning about 3D printing, opening

This STEM Argumentative Research Project engages students in exploring the scientific, ethical, and societal implications of themes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Students will work in groups to

Students will apply principles of design, engineering, and mathematics to create a physical or digital labyrinth inspired by the myth of Theseus. This project integrates STEM concepts with literature

Students will use Tinkercad's website to create a 3D box and lid. I provide step-by-step Google Slides on how students create this project, share videos of the directions, and additional resources for

In this hands-on lesson, students work collaboratively in groups to design models to represent the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon as they relate to each of the 8 phases of the moon

This is a high school level project that covers food webs, nutrition cycling, and human intervention in ecosystems. This gives students a hands-on, real-world look at a water system in their backyard.

The students will come up with what is sound and how it is produced. Then in the next two lessons explore with a signal generator to explore amplitude and frequency.

Welcome to an exhilarating journey of problem-solving and exploration with Bee-Bots! In this captivating adventure, students will embark on a thrilling quest to navigate through challenging mazes

Kindergarten students will be given a STEM case to solve! The goal is to build a bridge for two different sized/weight of vehicles. Students will research types of bridges and decide which bridge will

In this lesson, students will explore the key physics principles that govern the design and operation of street lighting systems. Through a hands-on engineering design challenge, students will apply

Students will be designing a shade structure to fit a mini-raised garden bed in order to help it adapt to the increasing sunshine in summer.

This lesson provides the opportunity for kindergarten students to develop a mock oil spill and develop methods to help ocean life after an oil spill. Student will hypothesize methods that can

In this lesson students will explore bugs and their attributes. Students will also understand the difference between an insect and a bug, use math skills such as counting and symmetry, and also have

Students build a Tetrahedral kite while learning about problem solving, patience and diligence to finish a task. They will also be able to explain lift and force and apply the steps of the engineering

In this lesson, students will work individually to build a working periscope. They will make a simple one out of card stock and then being creative with whatever supplies their teacher gives them

This hands-on lesson is to help students create geometric shapes by writing code to allow their robot to create the assigned shape. Students learn about algorithms as they explore the basics of coding

In this outstanding lesson, students will design and build their own mini golf hole (first on scaled paper, then using cardboard and recycled materials). One obstacle must be made out of a net

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

In this lesson, students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator. Next, they graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be

How do light rays reflect and refract? Does light travel at different speeds in different mediums? This lesson reviews how light waves can be reflected and refracted, and how light waves can change

This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that

Students will dive into the world of three-dimensional structures, shapes, and basic engineering principles through this hands-on lesson using Magna Tiles.

Students will create a community city by applying the concepts of area and perimeter using geometry shapes. This hands-on lesson incorporates the engineering design process and gives students an
