STEM Lesson Plans

The students will create a Three Sisters Garden by participating in a teamwork activity, listening to a read aloud, watching a video, creating a diagram, planting the garden, and creating a video

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

In this hands-on lesson, students investigate how a solar panel can change energy from sunlight into electrical energy. They also determine how water flows out of the fountain. With the use of a

Students will experiment with stirring colors and creating effects, to learn through experimentation while creating a piece of art. The purpose of this lesson is to use visual arts to explore

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

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

In this 3rd and final lesson in a series of 3, students examine prior knowledge about the real-world problem of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and apply their findings to design solutions. Students

This engaging lesson is all about reverse engineering! Students will read and discuss the hook “A.I. Apocalypse”. They learn all about reverse engineering during this project as they determine a

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 develop an understanding of the life cycle of a bean. They will grow their own beans and observe the growth over time. Various resources are included along with math

Students will learn how to construct a moving car robot and program the robot using block-based coding. They will be successful when they have coded the car robot through a maze, they created, without

In this unit, students will study the effects of air pollution and engineer an environmentally friendly air filter to reduce pollutants in the air using common household items and recycled materials

This is the second lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production. In this lesson, students will research the best types of plants to grow
