STEM Lesson Plans

Students will use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity. This solar energy is transmitted through cables to the motor and then to the fountain. The fountain pressure increases and

Transportation 2043 - In 20 years time, how will you move within a city, how will you transport between major urban areas? Will you use High Speed Rail, a Hyperloop, Driverless Vehicles, eVTOLs

In this lesson plan the students learn to design, construct and determine weight loads capabilities for their project.

Introduction to VR, AR, and MR technologies that could change the way we work, teach, entertain, vacation, and socially interact. This lesson starts bringing students up to speed on the current state

This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.

Simple Machine: Pulley, helping Rapunzel escape the tower

What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along

Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They

Students will discover: What will happen if animals are eliminated in ecosystems and food webs?

Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read

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

This lesson is based on a Navajo Story: "The Three Little Sheep". The story connects to the famous, "The Three Little Pigs". Students become engineers and create different dwelling models: a grass hut

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

This is part of an introduction to EdScratch using Edison Robots. Students will model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on experience for students to explore life science concepts using

In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how

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

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

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

In this hands-on lesson, students will explore the water cycle and learn how it works. Students will be able to make their own model and observe the water cycle in class. They create an art piece and

In this lesson students will identify the four seasons. They will then explore how trees change with the seasons and how that impacts what humans wear and act. Students will also count to four and

In this lesson kindergarten students will explore their 5 senses and determine how they can be used in the garden. There is a literacy integration and nature walk within the lesson along with

Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
