STEM Lesson Plans

This is a lesson plan based on playlist model where students will learn Heat transfer by using a play list and picking the topics according to their own pace. The students will need a computer/ laptop

In this lesson, students will create and test multiple helicopters to create a helicopter that lands the slowest in a given target. Students will take their best design and share with the class.

Students will be able to observe and recognize that a thermometer is a device that is used to measure a change in temperature.

Students will better understand gas, liquid, and solid states of matter through hands-on learning stations and a create-a-toy design challenge.

This is a CSI lesson where students solve mystery on Physical and Chemical change. This is an engaging way as students will conduct an investigation like a real crime investigator.

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

The students will be testing how the sun's energy is able to melt ice on different colors of plates. They will test which color will melt the ice the fastest and calculate the rate. Materials needed

Students are challenged to plan, design and build a structure of their choosing with the constraint that they can only use the materials they choose, no more, no less. List of Materials Students will

Today we will fuse glass. Fusing is the joining together of compatabible glass sheets or pieces. Glass fuses at 1490 degrees. All glass must be compatible it conforms at 6mm or ¼”. Glass that is

This can be taught at different grade levels, diving deeper when possible. Just delete what you don’t need. Taught in the classroom, groups of 2 - 4. Groups of 2 would allow for each student to bring

Explore scientific notation by traveling through the universe. Students will try to place objects in the universe in order from smallest to largest by using pictures, names and numbers in scientific

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Integrate optimized components into an existing design. Provide plans for the project's

This lesson plan is taught to students with learning disabilities in the area of math problem solving. As part of students’ IEP, students in this lesson will be taught through small group by modeling

Start by discussing/learning what is matter, the states of matter, properties of matter. What is mass, how to measure it. Two labs follow: density of solids and density of liquids. Students will need

Culturally Relevant Corn Lesson that includes anatomy of plant, ethanol production and corn tortilla making.

This lesson uncovers student thinking about where the matter that makes up the leaves and trunk of a giant sequoia (or any tree) comes from. The materials include links to handouts, videos, ELA

Today students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. Today students will accurately complete an itemized receipt

This is a 2 day lesson plan where a local contractor comes in and presents on building roofs and on snow load code. The second day is an activity where the students test out different slopes and

Students work together to design a water filtration system to separate pollutants from water. This lesson takes about 120 minutes to complete. Materials include: Polluted Water: Pour 1 cup of water

Summary: This lesson is designed to introduce students to the engineering design process through designing and building a bridge that fulfills requirements and abides by constraints. Materials

This lesson is about building and testing a Ferris Wheel and the history behind it. Students should be familiar with the concepts of forces, motion, and gravity before starting this project. They

Students will be exploring Oobleck to better understand states of matter. SWBAT correctly identify the phases of matter in molecular form. SWBAT experiment with cornstarch and water to create a

An ELA Lesson Plan focusing on Stormalong story with integration on Science and Engineering. Understanding characters, figurative language (hyperbole) and comparing two stories are the focus of this

This lesson involves students calculating the density of various objects of differing sizes of the same substance. Each student group will need a balance, a ruler, and/or a graduated cylinder. They
