STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is about watersheds. It includes the presentation of the lessons, STEM sheet to use, and enrichment activity for students. The lesson includes a branching out activity of their own

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 plan is about the phases of the moon. It can be used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. This is a hands-on activity that would help students explore the explanations about the movement

First students will learn what engineers do and a few different strategies they might use to build strong buildings. Students will create a structure of any shape using given materials to withhold two

In this lesson, students will watch seeds grow on a damp sponge by measuring, journaling and observing. They will observe how the roots and shoots grow.

In this fun lesson, students create models of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets that can go on robots. They experiment with light and movement to demonstrate the rotation of sun, earth, and moon using

In this lesson, students will be able to analyze and communicate evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of objects. They conduct research to provide evidence of the

Within this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a device that will protect an egg from a two-story drop. They work within small groups and test their creation and

Students will learn basic concepts of physics, including velocity, motion, and vector. S tudents will develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance. Finally students will

This lesson has an emphasis on explaining what is force. It also has an emphasis on explaining how you can see and measure force. For this lesson you need several empty plastic bottles, rubber bands

This is Task 3 (Lesson 3) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project entitled “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room”. Students will construct a 3D model of both an animal cell and human cell. They will

Students will participate in an engineering challenge or STEM activity that connects to a read aloud. They will be able to ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation

In this lesson students will explore engineering skills in the construction of hot air balloons. They will test their creations to see if they will fly/float and make adjustments if needed.

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

In this 1-day lesson, students are challenged to collaborate with their teams to create a plan and use PVC halves to transport 1 golf ball 75 feet without touching the ball or allowing the ball to

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a paper windmill. They put it to the test by using a fan to see how their fan holds up to the wind. This is a great way to cover science, engineering

In this food-related lesson, students use the engineering design process to create solar ovens and cook s'mores. They engage in critical thinking as they construct their design and test out the oven

In this engaging lesson, students explore and observe thermal shock by watching marbles bake and placed in ice water. Science and math concepts are covered in this unique lesson as well as visual arts

In this hands-on lesson, students will work together to build a system where energy is transferred between objects for as long as possible (i.e. Newton’s Cradle). Students continue the work that began

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the concept of homeostasis with online research and then investigate how feedback mechanisms are used to maintain homeostasis during exercise during an

In this creative and engaging lesson, students use Google Slides to create a stop motion animation from a personal narrative that they have written. All instructions and resources are included! It

This lesson plan is about the making and testing a solar car. This will take a minimum of two weeks. Solar panels and a motor will be provided. Students can use any safe material of their choice to
