STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is intended to build on existing knowledge about a previously learned topic. Students should already know about and be able to apply specific information about a bird species based on a

This lesson and accompanying activity are designed to introduce students to the celestial coordinate system used for location objects and locations in the sky. This lesson will also introduce students

Studnets will be inspired to make a Lego Balloon car after listening and watching about lego cars. Students will be amazed as they engineer their very own Lego cars and making them move using a

This lesson is designed for students to explore the idea of natural selection using a popular food item: goldfish crackers! Students explore the idea that populations of organisms can be affected by

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

Students will learn how robots help complete repetitive tasks for humans. Robots use a series of steps that are programed into their circuits. It must be done systematically and include each step, in

Engage your students in this read-aloud lesson, integrating ELA, Math, and Computer Science. With prompting and support, students will be able to ask and answer questions about key details in a text

The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.

In this lesson, students will watch a video discussing how birds have different beaks depending on what they eat. Students will then have the opportunity to examine the differences in chickens and

In this hands-on lesson, students match a subitize card to the corresponding number using a Bee-Bot. Students may work in small groups of 2-4 to program an algorithm on the Bee-Bots. They will be able

Bee-Bot is ready for math! In this engaging lesson, students break apart numbers and make different combinations of numbers to make a whole number. Students will be using a Bee-Bot to code and show

This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step-by-step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring

In this lesson on Genetic Variations, Inheritance, and Natural Selection, students will explore how genetic variations occur in offspring through the inheritance of traits or mutations. They will also

Mad For Magnets is a lesson plan for K-4th grades. Scholars will learn about magnets, how they attract and repel, north and south poles to apply to the assigned challenge. Scholars will design and

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard

In this set of lesson plans for "A Song for a Whale" by Lynne Kelly, students will investigate compasses and whale migration. The final project for the novel is a choice board of activities that
