STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the numbers found in and around their home. Making these connections will help strengthen number sense and provide a real-world framework to

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

Students (over 2-3 days) use BricQ parts and pieces to create a lab to test how mass affects the distance a Lego piece will travel. This hands-on lesson was designed to introduce Newton’s law #2

In this hands-on lesson, students plan and build a bridge that can hold at least 6 pounds using popsicle sticks and hot glue. This lesson helps students understand load transfer of weight and the

Students will design and build the tallest tower/structure using candy/marshmallows and toothpicks.

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 using their science and math knowledge to engineer a golf course! This is a great way for students to use that knowledge in a real life way! Students get the chance to explore how

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

In this lesson, students will learn about air resistance, friction, and Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will then collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an

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

This lesson will explore aerodynamics, rocketry, and principles of space flights. Students will act as engineers. Their job is to research, plan, design, and build a water bottle rocket that will

This lesson provides an engaging STEM project by making a catapult. The goal is to shoot a pingpong ball in a basket. Student's knowledge on forces and engineering design processes are essential to

This STEM activity is designed to explore force, motion, friction, and speed with a student-friendly and engaging activity. Students will plan and create a marble maze using simple materials. Material

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

This lesson plan is the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

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

In this interactive lesson, students will create a Duplo Lego Vehicle and test how forces affect motion. Students will be placed in groups of 3-4 and be given a force to test. They will decide which

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationship commonly known as Newton's 2nd Law for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment

The lesson gives an introduction to ASCII as part of a set of lessons that introduces computer science. Students learn what a computer can understand and create a bracelet in this introduction to

Students experience the process of creating a whole elevator-shaft design complete with a car and a pulley system. They will experience an integrated STEAM lesson with combined content from Science

In this interactive lesson, students take three days to create a maze using Gravitrax kits and pieces. Students then use their maze to create a model and explain where they see Newton's Laws of Motion

To demonstrate their understanding of how energy is passed throughout an ecosystem and the symbiotic relationships of organisms within an ecosystem, students construct a food web marble run. This

This hands-on lesson covers balanced and unbalanced forces. Students use the skills they have already been taught to apply them to a real-world situation involving rockets. You will need 500mL bottles
