STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, the students will observe matter that has endured a temperature change. They will make predictions about what they think will happen to a form of matter after choosing if it will be

In this lesson, students perform a lab, and use a materials list to create an "activity series", the inverse of a reduction potential chart. While reduction charts are used more often, the "activity

Students will create a 3D model of a landform in small groups, record facts about the landform, use their ipads to take a picture of the landform and voice record themselves presenting about it

This hands-on lesson shows how you can use LEGOs (Spike Prime kits) and coding to demonstrate how gravity works and what can be done to counter the gravitational pull.

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on

The purpose of this lesson is to explore with students the mining process and the potential impacts humans have on ecosystems and their populations. Once completed students should have a deeper

In this outstanding lesson, students will explore circuitry through working collaboratively to build a working floor piano out of simple materials. Students explore the engineering design process by

This lesson will show students that genetic traits come from a lot of different places, and we are all different but still made of the same things. It will use real-time data collection to present

Students explore how circuitry works with a hands-on lesson where they design and build their own working pressure plate. The use of a MakeyMakey is incorporated with helpful video resources and

Students will have the opportunity to discuss growing conditions needed for a healthy plant and what to do when the optimal choice may not be available. In this lesson students construct hydroponic

In this set of hands-on labs, students will explore friction and the effects of different types of surfaces on motion. They will have a chance to test motion with cars as well as create hover board

More VR integration in the classroom, oh my! This is the second lesson of a two-day exploration of chain reactions. On day one, students received a general overview of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg

VR in the classroom, oh my! This Day 1 lesson provides students an introductory understanding of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg and his machines, the Oculus (Meta) Quest 2, the online game Dynamic

In this outstanding lesson, teachers facilitate students to design and build Meet Edison Robots for Cougar Clash “BattleBot” robot battle classroom tournament. (We named ours Cougar Clash as your

This is the final lesson for the How do sunflowers grow? unit. In this lesson, students will plant their sunflowers outside. They will continue to monitor the growth of their sunflowers. They will

In this lesson, students will measure their sunflowers for the first time. They will also create their growth over time graphs for their sunflower growth. This is the 3rd lesson is a unit series of 4.

In this lesson, students will plant their sunflower seeds in a cup and complete their first observations in their sunflower diaries. This is the 2nd lesson in a unit series of 4.

This is the 1st lesson in a unit series of 4 covering plant growth. Students will brainstorm ideas about what plants need to grow. The teacher will read a book about plant growth. Then, the whole

This lesson has a focus on Bernoulli's Principle, the venturi, and how it applies toward creating lift on an aircraft.

This is the 2nd lesson is a 2-part series. Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise

Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise by JPL/NASA starts students off with a

In this creative lesson, students focus on inertia while exploring the magnetic compass and its errors while flying an aircraft.

This lesson plan focuses on developing an understanding of root systems, especially regarding surface area. The lesson has students creating their own root systems and justifications for the types of
