STEM Lesson Plans

This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. Students will use Flipgrid to share, but you could use any other video app

In this lesson, students go on a nature walk, notice nature, and increase their observation skills. They will identify different plant types and make connections to the plant’s needs: sunlight, soil

The project requires students to act as mechanical and electrical engineers who are tasked with planning, designing, and testing a new toy invention. This toy must have functioning lights, and teams

Students will germinate seeds and record any observations during the process.

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

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the shapes found in and around their home. Making these connections will provide a real-world framework to their understanding of mathematics

Students will create Rube Goldberg machines from simple machines in this engaging lesson. The teacher can determine materials such as wooden planks, paper towel rolls, bottle caps, marbles, cardboard

Model Building For Disaster is a 4-6 week unit in which students research natural disasters around the world and their effect on developing countries. Following their research, student teams design

In this engaging lesson, students will summarize the environmental impact of obtaining and using fossil fuels and recommend solutions for reducing use of fossil fuels. Students use chocolate chip

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 be learning about the life cycle of a potato, how to grow potatoes, and measuring the growth of the stems. You'll need potatoes that are ready to plant, garden space, or tubs to put the

Lesson Summary: 2nd Grade students listen to the story; Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket and reflect how they would create and design a space lander/rover. We watch the video; Curiosity; Mars Rover and

In this unit, students will study the effects of atmospheric pressure and air resistance on objects to engineer a landing apparatus to land cargo in space. They will then write a Claim based on

Lesson Summary: Students code sprites in scratch to animate the Central Dogma of Biology Materials: Laptops Agenda: The teacher will introduce a list of items like the following: aquarium, bicycle

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

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

Students will use SEEK or other species identification tools to create a database of biodiversity on campus. The lesson starts with a discussion of the importance of biodiversity to the functioning of

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards : HS.P3U2.7 Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to

This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are

This lesson plan is designed for students to investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The lesson starts with a phenomena video and hypothesis question. It is followed by a

Students will be creating their own testing station for sound waves! Each group will get 5 glasses and will put a different amount of water in each of the glasses. Then the students will tap the glass

Students investigate options for covering a unique shaped pool with circular solar pool covers. This lesson includes using a scaled drawing to create calculations and creating a proposal.

Students will design a keychain in Tinkercad, strengthening their understanding of metric units and design, while also using the following mathematical vocabulary: volume, prism, cylinder, millimeters

In this lesson, students create a brand new species of animal! Designed to be an end-of-unit activity after students have learned about different environments and animal adaptations, students will
