STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson students learn about forces and motion by designing cars with materials provided in the Lakeshore Learning Design & Play: Cars materials. Students will measure distance driven, reflect

In this lesson, the students will plan and carry out investigations to explore sound propagation and its characteristics through simple activities. They will discover in which medium sound travels

This lesson discusses and gives you a more in-depth understanding of the relationship of particles that are held together by a certain amount of energy. The energy is required to break bonds and the

This lesson give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical

This is a simple investigation that you can easily do in your classroom to introduce Aquaponics to your students.

This is a fourth-grade level Science lesson over the rock cycle: what is it? What are the three major types of rocks? What is a rock? There is a STEM challenge that can be integrated into fourth grade

Students explore different recipes for giant bubbles and determine which recipe created the best (longest lasting) bubbles in this engaging lesson. Then, they examine the structures of the added

Students are introduced to the idea that matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In this lesson, students will determine the difference between the three states of matter

Students utilize the Engineering Design Process to create a sailboat! Students must design and build a sailboat that will get them from one end of the channel where they are stranded to the other. It

The lesson will help teachers and students who are learning the basics of 3D printing. There will be a list of vocabulary, video, student discussion, sketching a prototype and using Tinkercad to

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic

Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered

In this lesson, students will observe the different ways a sheet of paper can fall. They will face two challenges with paper, the final challenge being to create and test a parachute for a small

Students have a book to read about the three states of matter. Students experiment with the three states of matter of water. They record their observations in their STEM notebook. Students look at a

In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

In this lesson the students will learn to identify some common household substances whether it is acid or base using red cabbage juice.

Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic

GROWING CRYSTALS PART 1, A lesson that focuses on the different types of formation of crystalline solid, its properties and the attractive forces responsible to it during chemical bonding. It is

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along

Students will observe and investigate the shapes of bubbles. They will then create their own wand in a different shape to see if bubbles are always round or if they can create a different shape.

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency

The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of
