STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will learn about planets and stars and their relationship with each other. They will create a planet or star and then, as a group, create a song to present to the class.

In this lesson, students will be introduced to the career of architecture. They will use the design process to create a city with peers.

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

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "What's Inside a Flower?" by Rachel Ignotofsky, students will learn about the structure of flowers. This is a great introduction to plant growth and gardening. This

Wildlife cameras are fun & surprisingly easy to use! If your students have never used any, check out this lesson to get them started by collecting meaningful image data to answer questions that they

This lesson explores why architects and engineers use cylinders in building structures. Students will be introduced to the concept of biomimicry. They will observe cylinders in plants and compare and

In this hands-on lesson, students will utilize Beebots and the app iClips on the iPad to create a film about bees. Students will create their own storyboards and props and will analyze each other's

Students learn about celestial and transitory objects in the sky while creating a piece of art depicting a constellation. The constellation can be seen during the day by holding it up. It helps

In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson

Within this lesson, students will present their master-planned community to a test audience and potential clients. Focus is on presenting to the client rather than reading information off the slide

This lesson can be used to reinforce physical science standards, engineering design concepts, and collaboration. Students will work with a National Geographic Magnetic Marble Run to construct a basic

In this hands-on lesson, students will design, construct, and defend their hummingbird feeder design.

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 part 2 of a unit. The other lessons are linked within each lesson. During this lesson, students will be encouraged to collaborate and imagine different solutions in order to connect the sides

In this creative lesson, students will digitally create objects on a four-quadrant background and use the unit circle reference angles to demonstrate the angles and radians their object are at.

In this creative math lesson, students will use their knowledge of special right triangles to create a unit circle on a real world 2D or 3D object!

Students will use their knowledge of adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials to solve the area of figures they create. This lesson has three parts and ties concepts of area formulas

This is the 4th and final part of a 4-part series that allows students to communicate what they've learned through using the engineering design process to develop new vision technology. Links to all

This hands-on lesson allows students to engage in the engineering design process by building a new vision technology with applications of convex and concave lenses. This is the 3rd lesson in a series

In this Part 1 of 2, students will be building background knowledge on the human eye and camera. Students will be looking at the structure and function of both. Students will be working in small

This is part 1 of a unit, other lessons are posted. In this lesson students will use prior knowledge of how wheels and axles work in order to create two symmetrical sides of a ferris wheel. This

In this hands-on lesson, 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 and will be timed. Math
