STEM Lesson Plans

Students will design and buid a Mars Resource Transport (basically a wagon) on wheels and axles. They have to meet build criteria based on volume and a budget for resources. The transport will be used

A lesson plan that allows students to engage in the engineering design process by building a new vision technology with applications of convex and concave lenses.

Students will be challenged to complete an obstacle course with a Sphero/RVR/Edison through coding. Students will be given a task list to complete. Students will be timed. Math vocabulary will be

In this lesson students use a picture book to look for cause and effect relationships between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystems using systems thinking strategies. Students create a

In this hands-on lesson, students will use robotics to create an automated system that simulates the cleanup of a natural disaster. In this case, a nuclear reactor explosion. Students will program

This lesson provides opportunity to our students to apply their knowledge in solving real world problems. The students will create a new design for a cereal box using math, art and design. They also

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

In this lesson, students apply what they learn about series and parallel circuits in building their concept of electrical power. They experiment and gather evidence through PHET Circuit Construction

This lesson is Part 2 of an engineering challenge. In Cooling Structure Challenge Part 2 students will use what they learned when they designed, built, and tested their prototype in Part 1. Often we

Students recreate a unique Operation board game with a circuit that lights with an LED and buzzes with a piezo. Students use the Engineering Design Process to plan and document their process. Students

What are we learning? We are learning about the history of the Mars Rover program and how scientists had to work together to solve problems and make sure the rover landed safely on the Red Planet. We

In this integrated STEM + Math lesson, students will learn about and then create blueprints. This lesson demonstrates how blueprints can be used as part of the process in solving real world challenges

Design Challenge: · Introduce the design challenge (25 mins total) You’re rushing to make your flight to Disney World when you trip and drop an important item into a storm drain. You only have items

This lesson integrates literature / ELA standards with Science& Engineering Practices and is designed for K-1. The lesson involves a read aloud of the story "The Little Wooden Robot and the Log

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.

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

Students take on the roll of working for an ad agency, creating a new experience that tours the human body. Students will pick one body system and create an entertainment venue that has attractions

Students will create a small solar fountain in this lesson. You will begin the lesson by discussing the concept of solar energy and its benefits as a renewable energy source. Students will understand

In this lesson plan, students will use Tinkercad to create a representation of a fraction in 3D. After, they will team up with other students to find the sum of the two fractions.

Students will discover the hazards to humans in space and design a space suit to address those hazards.
