STEM Lesson Plans

This is a smaller part of a larger Digital Citizenship Unit. Students will spend time understanding the concept of a Digital Footprint and the long term consequences of a negative Digital Footprint

This is a phenomena-based introduction to how emission spectra of elements and the connection to electrons and energy levels. Students first get to explore the emission spectra of several gases using

The math and research of hot cocoa. Students will find or use a teacher provided hot cocoa recipe and practice working with fractions to increase or decrease the recipe yield.

This interactive 4th-grade lesson plan focuses on erosion and weathering, key concepts in understanding Earth's geology. In "Dynamic Earth," students use an interactive simulation to explore how

This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to

Explore Coal Mine Canyon's wonders! Watch a documentary, read about geology, draw the canyon, and use tech to learn about geological layers. Fun, interactive learning awaits!

DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the molecule of life. DNA exists in every single organism, from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammal, and is the only known molecule that has the ability to

This lesson takes a student's understanding of both light and sound to the next level. In this lesson students will use their understanding of both art, science and technology to create a visual and

In this virtual reality frog dissection, students get to explore the anatomy of a female frog inside and out. The frog’s respective organs are scientifically accurate models to scale, allowing

This lesson is part one of two lessons that have students create a step-by-step guide on how to grow a plant from a seed, including the required materials, conditions, and steps involved.

Students will be paired up, or a group of three if one odd number, and create a Mom and Dad creature with Dominant and Recessive Traits that get passed on to two offspring through the flipping of a

This part 2 of a 2 part series on Reliable Internet information.

Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases

This lesson could be a Part II for the 3D modeling atomic theory lesson using Tinkercad, or this lesson can be delivered independently. In this lesson students fill out an atomic theory timeline and

On Day 3, students take their journey to the next level. After gaining insights into plant life cycles and the crucial role of pollinators in the first two days, they now get hands-on and creative. In

Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline

In this lesson, first-grade students will explore the concept of resource sharing in nature using dioramas. The lesson is designed to help students understand that living things, such as plants and

Students will learn how fingerprints are used to solve crimes. Students will then take their own prints, examine patterns within their prints, and compare/contrast the percentages for each type of

This 2-Day STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the sun and solar system (including our planet, the moon, and asteroids), and is intended to focus on

This lesson plan will help students gather and analyze data from a climate of a small-scale area such as the football field, parking lot and botanical garden.

Using "The Yummy Alphabet Book" as a read aloud/ discussion starter, students will investigate the growth and taste of cilantro by growing it from seed to compare/contrast the function, size, and

Students are learn to collect data from their robot. Students will also learn how to use that data to determine the mean absolute deviation of the robots movements.

Students are learning to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers using various numbers on a mat and driving an Edison robot to determine what rational numbers will be used.

Students take on the roll of working for an ad agency, creating a new experience that tours the human body. Students will pick one body system and create an entertainment venue that has attractions
