STEM Lesson Plans

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

This lesson is a final project/assessment for the unit. Students should have a basic understanding of structural and behavioral adaptations. Students will create a poster featuring a model of a new

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

This is a modified version of the popular Birthday Polynomial project for Algebra 2/ Pre-Calculus. Students create and analyze a polynomial and its first and second derivatives using technology.

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.

Students will learn about stars and constellations, then design their own constellation and create a model.

This lesson takes place in as classroom for one or more 60 minute class periods. The data collection portion may continue for 2+ weeks (or whatever time frame you decide). An emphasis is placed on the

Objectives: After this activity, students should be able to: Learn the concepts of what a robot is Building a model of a robot (not a functioning robot). Explain what is a robot, the parts of a robot

Students will be go on a nature walk, notice nature, and increase their observation skills. Students will be able to identify different plant types and make connections to the plant’s needs: sunlight

This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. I use Flipgrid, but you could use any other video app or website. Magazine

In this lesson, students create a brand new species of animal! Designed to be an end-of-unit activity after students have learned about different environments and animal adaptations, students will

This lesson is useful in a high school Physics or Calculus Class. Students will be matching Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs, sometimes creating their own.

In this lesson students will use simulations to collect data about changes in specific traits of a population over time. Students will then use the data create graphical models to explain natural

This is a third grade lesson focused on structure and function. In the lesson, students observe, investigate, and research chickens to create a model focused on the parts of a chicken and their

Students explore the world of the lesser long-nosed bat through a self-paced hyperdoc. This unassuming bat is responsible for pollinating some the most magnificent desert cacti. It faced extinction in

This lesson involves three scenarios where you calculate the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles. You will compare these frequencies for the 3 scenarios and discuss how they changed

This lesson is 3 of 4 of a unit about habitats and animal adaptations. In this project, students will build a model of a habitat and an animal they created in lesson 2. The animal will need to have

This lesson is designed to allow students the experience to move from an additive understanding in mathematics to a multiplicative understanding through the activity called Cootie Catcher. The

This lesson is part of a school-wide project to renovate a greenhouse and create a native seed library. This lesson is intended to create intrinsic motivation to engage in the project. This lesson

OBJECTIVES: Today we will analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth for your sample Today we will graphically model that relationship Today we will extend and reflect on the entire

Lesson Summary: Students code robots to match different distance time graphs. For each graph the teacher stamps their paper and they move on to the next more difficult one. Materials Robots that can

Students will participate in an engineering challenge or STEM activity that connects to a read aloud. Students will communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air

OBJECTIVES: Today we will gather data about local tree diameters Today we will estimate the approximate age of trees Today we will build connections between a tree’s growth and environmental factors
