STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, the students will list various kinds of animal adaptations. Demonstrate an understanding of how an animal's adaptations help it to live in its particular environment. Recognize typical

This lesson provides the opportunity for kindergarten students to develop a mock oil spill and develop methods to help ocean life after an oil spill. Student will hypothesize methods that can

Students will determine the best materials to use to build their school budget. They will create several garden models and determine which garden they ultimately want to build. Students will then

Students will research and use math calculations to set up a classroom worm compost bin to compare to a classroom non-worm compost bin to be utilized for observation throughout the school year for

5E lesson plan for teaching middle school students (grades 6-8) how to use sensors to control motors and interact with objects on a field using block code with a system like LEGO Mindstorms.

This hands-on lesson introduces students to gardening and the sustainability of food. Students will grow small gardens and manage them.

In this fun and engaging lesson, students will use the ASU Monster Maker Game for a fun project that assesses students on dominant and recessive alleles, genotype, phenotype, Punnett Squares, and

Students will explore the concepts of sound and rhythm through a STEM-focused lesson plan that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with music. Students will engage in hands-on

Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design

In this 2nd grade STEM lesson, students will learn how symbols (directional arrows) can be used to program an object's movements. They will develop an algorithm using a sequential graphic organizer to

This lesson explores the concept of density. Students will observe a phenomenon involving floating and sinking. They will design their own investigations and they will learn how to use the density

In this lesson students will discover harmful effects and chemical makeups of artificial ingredients, specifically food coloring and red dyes. Students will experiment with and demonstrate capillary

This is the part one of the composting lesson that is aligned to the ELA standards of narrative reading and writing. In this lesson, students build their experiences by preparing the bucket composters

Using my backyard chickens as inspiration, this 5th grade lesson asks children to graph egg production and build a model of a chicken coop and run.

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

Students will work on this research project to learn about animal migration. They will research environmental factors that may influence the migration of specific animals and use it to create an

The students will be reading, writing, and representing three digit numbers using base ten numerals and expanded form. The purpose is for the students to write numbers in expanded form and represent

This two day Mini-Unit will take students through observations of cats and their own physical characteristics. Students will graph data and potentially create a bar graph to reflect their observations

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course

The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM

A Makerspace experience for the Holidays! (Part 2) Students are invited to launch their very own startup business just in time for the holidays! In your Makerspace group, invite students to brand

Students will learn about the relationships between traits of humans and animals. They will use real examples to relate their vocabulary to their everyday lives and then put it into practice by
