STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson allows students the opportunity to employ prior knowledge while demonstrating knowledge of various standards in an inter-disciplinary, hands on lesson. The utilization of data collection

In this 2-part lesson students research the ways bats use their wings to defy gravity. They will interact with media to answer: How do bats use their wings to defy gravity? How are bat wings adapted

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout the unit, you will be introduced to the SDG principles and renewable/non renewable

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout the unit, you will be introduced to the SDG principles and design process where you

The "I've Got your Six! Programming Sensors for the Blind Community" is an empathy based project that teaches students to program electronic circuits. It is designed for the beginner in mind to walk

Wildfires are a huge issue in Arizona during the dry season as there is plenty of dry fuel and very little water. Once an area has been devastated by fire, it is further destroyed by summer monsoons

This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks

This lesson looks at the Fibonacci sequence and the story of Fibonacci. It looks at the numbers, the rectangles and places in nature and art where they can be found.

This lesson will help children discover the phenomena: People say I have so much energy all the time and that the sun gives plants energy, is it the same?

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 mutants have been in danger because of a bacteria. You will create a new X-men to save them all.

Students will research and understand bird evolution. They will identify the functions of body parts and ecosystems. They will predict evolutionary changes that a specific bird will go through and the

A good investigation for the fall when seeds are available. Some seeds will need to be collected in the spring.

This investigation focuses on how the speed of an object affects the amount of energy transfer.

Students explore throwing and/or flipping Ping-Pong balls through the air. Students develop questions to find patterns of how changing the energy put into the ball affects the motion of the ball

The investigation focuses on how a rubber band is used to transfer energy to an object.

This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening

Four 60 minutes class periods (dependent on student’s coding experience and ability) What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee

This lesson provides opportunities for students to immerse themselves into the world of Jurassic Park. The students will read the novel, Jurassic Park and be able to research one of the dinosaurs

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

Students will use jelly beans to model the variation that results from sexual reproduction. They will use Punnett Squares to practice probability.

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular
