STEM Lesson Plans

This is part three of a four part unit. In this lesson students will be curious and play with a Comeback Can and a Tik-Tiki. Students will also develop explanations about how both devices work using

Students will explain the difference between sink and float through hands on experiences in this early childhood lesson.

Students learn how energy transfer and electrical circuits energy are similar and different.

In this lesson students apply their Medieval Times knowledge and energy transfer to create a knight that will compete in a jousting tournament using spheros. The students will use a solo cup as the

In the lesson on upcycling empty water bottles, students will embark on an innovative and eco-friendly exploration of creative reuse, incorporating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)

This lesson covers three types of mechanical wave interactions- reflection, absorption, transmission. Students observe the interaction in a video or example, talk about what is happening as a class

Lesson 4 culminates the series on electricity with the Electric House Project, where students apply their knowledge to design, construct, and wire a model house that meets specific electrical

Lesson 3 in this series focuses on hands-on engagement with electrical circuits using the EUDAX Physics Science Lab Learning Circuit Kit. Students will construct both simple and complex circuits

Part 4! Students take all that they have learned from all the parts along with observations of their rocket launch to create a detailed google slides presentation!

Part 3 of the Unit. Students launch their rockets and record observations along with altitude data!

Students will combine science and art by using an alternative photographic process called cyanotypes or sun prints. After a short introduction to the history of cyanotypes and the process of creating

This lesson is an opportunity for students to learn about the past, the interesting field of nuclear radiation, and future implications to humanity as we encounter it in our spaces.

An Arizona 3rd grade standard is to learn about Arizona tribes' ways of living and how they depend on their environment to shape their world. In this hands-on lesson, students will use their hands

In this engaging lesson, students will delve into the fascinating world of energy transfer and efficiency by designing and building their own solar-powered devices. Through hands-on activities

This engaging lesson explores electrical energy/currents, the engineering design process, and coding (picture, block, and python) with LEGO robots! Students will code their robots to navigate an

This lesson is about the Petrified Forest National Park here in Arizona. It teaches students about the National Park. It also has a lab showing students how things like wood become petrified!

In this hands-on lesson, students will carry out an investigation to gather evidence to determine whether a change is chemical or physical. This lesson concludes with a pixel art activity.

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

Get the athletic shoes ready! Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs in this engaging lesson. The change in potential energy

This lesson is designed for Day 3. Students use outside resources to modify and test helmet effectiveness with Pocketlab sensors. In this hands-on lesson, students will create a prototype and run

Students will learn the principles of flight while also incorporating the Engineer Design Process as they construct gliders using pressed Styrofoam. In this hands-on lesson, students read a book about
