STEM Lesson Plans

Students will review and reinforce the rules of adding and subtracting integers through stories, games, and animations created with scratch.mit.edu. Student will explore what others have created and

This engaging lesson is a forensic lesson. Can the students identify if the grandkids belong to the long-lost grandparents or a very terrible war? Students will run gel electrophoresis and compare

In this lesson students learn how CRISPR works by running a gene editing lab. They get to explore the components of the gene editing system, make experimental predictions. Transform bacteria with

Students will build a propulsion system that can deliver a payload to a given location in this engaging paper rocket engineering lesson. Students think critically and problem solve as they work

In this lesson, students construct a paper model of CRISPR and work on focus questions to understand how CRISPR works. They will go through the motions of gene replacement so they can see what happens

This lesson will show students that genetic traits come from a lot of different places, and we are all different but still made of the same things. It will use real-time data collection to present

In this outstanding lesson, teachers facilitate students to design and build Meet Edison Robots for Cougar Clash “BattleBot” robot battle classroom tournament. (We named ours Cougar Clash as your

In this lesson students model the process of speciation using Skittles. As they work through the story, students see how changing geography can change the traits in a species and how over time these

This is part 2 of a Heredity lesson. In this portion of the lesson the students will work in collaborative pairs to mate the dragons the created in part 1. Furthermore, they will create Punnett

In part 1 of this lesson, students will use the laws of heredity to create a dragon based on the random toss of a coin. A chart has been created to assign genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "Up in the Garden and Down by the Dirt" by Kate Messner, students will learn about all the elements that make up a garden. Students will also plant a seed into a

Empower with solar, motors & wireless! Unravel renewable energy, motor tech & wireless applications in an engaging STEM journey.

Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.

Discover the power of hydraulics and pneumatics! Engaging in STEM activity on building systems and understanding fluid dynamics.

This is lesson 4 of the Life Science Unit. Students will evaluate and identify how the features of a young animal offspring and parent are similar (not identical) and different. They will code the

This lesson expands upon ASU's Ask a Biologist "Monster Manual" Activity to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Students learn about DNA and how we inherit traits through an analogy of decoding a

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 will learn about the three pillars of sustainability through their quail farm. They will incubate, raise and restock their quails in order for them to be sustainable regardless of what

In this engaging lesson, students will learn about genetics and create their own characters in which they will find a mate and create an offspring. They will use traits and Punnett Squares to create

Building a DNA model in the classroom can be a fun and engaging activity for students to understand the structure and properties of DNA. This is a simplified model to help students visualize DNA, as

Bee Colony Collapse Disorder was first discovered around 2005. Since then, 60-80 percent of honey bee hives have been affected. Scientists thought they were making progress into identifying the

In this lesson, students will participate in a hands-on activity to learn about area and perimeter while also learning about structures and functions of plants by designing a garden space that

In this lesson, students will apply the knowledge of calculating volume to determine the amount of soil they need to fill their planters. They will also use their skills to multiply and divide the

This is a series of lessons that discusses the process and factors that may affect and may not affect seed germination. This also builds the background of the students about the needs of the plants
