STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson invites students to sort and filter a spreadsheet of Wordle scores in order to answer questions through data analysis.

This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is

Introduction to EdScratch using Edison Robots and modeling the flow of an ecosystem.

Introduction to Tangible Coding and Sequencing to model the flow of an ecosystem.

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will be begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of

This lesson is an introduction to CAD, possibly leading up to 3D printing. The idea is to be familiar with CAD and more specifically the TinkerCAD application.

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

This is a series of lessons that help students understand forms of energy, energy transfer, and energy transformations. Through a series of inquiry based lessons, starting with the phenomenal Newton's

The investigation focuses on how a rubber band is used to transfer energy to an object.

The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of

An exploratory lesson on the relationship between pi and circumference. The students can measure the circumference of everyday items and explore the ratio of pi between the circumference and diameter

This lesson includes literacy, math, and art about snowflakes. Within math, students will dive into an analysis of angles within a common snowflake. Students will listen to an informational text about

In this STEM Challenge, the student’s task is to listen/read the story "Not a Box" by Antoinette Portis and use their imagination to create their own unique designs and structures using simple

This activity walks students through the basics of using the 3D modeling software TinkerCAD and how to transfer their image to a 3D printer.

This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons

Students use a constant velocity, battery powered vehicle to determine the relationship between position and time. They use their results to determine the formula for speed (change in position/time).
