STEM Lesson Plans

This is the second part of a fun introduction to engineering. In this lesson, students will create a board game with recycled materials based on a story they have made. Link to 1st lesson and helpful

This is the first part a fun beginning introduction to engineering. In this lesson, students will create a board game with recycled material based on a story they have made. Links to the 2nd lesson

In this engaging lesson, students determine the period of rotation for the flying pig toy using formulas derived throughout the circular motion unit.

In this engaging lesson, students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge. Link to view all lessons is included!

In this coding lesson, students explore how rearrangement of lines of code relates to sequences of geometrical transformations. Students use principles of coding to make a robot follow a series of

Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow

Students start to build 3D models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.

Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

Students get hands-on learning about 2D cross sections of 3D objects with this creative food lesson! From brownies to pickles, students will use food to describe what a cross section is of a 3D shape

In this hands-on lesson, 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

Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots

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.

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.

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

In this hands-on lesson, students use Dash Robots to retell a story, using key events along the path that Dash travels. Helpful resources included!

Students will listen to the story "Iggy Peck Architect" and create a bridge using available materials to see if it can carry weight. They will explore engineering as they plan, construct, and test

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 solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.
