STEM Lesson Plans

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "This Is a Book to Read with a Worm" by Jodi Wheeler-Toppen, students will learn about the functions and the structure of a worm and how worms affect the garden.

This is part 3 of a unit. This lesson focuses on building the base for the ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide enough to hold their wheel and tall enough to

In this lesson, students will learn about the Engineering Design Process and its uses and benefits. The students will then apply what they have learned to the construction of a duct tape wallet for a

This lesson teaches the students about the solar system. Next, the students in groups create a solar system and present it to the classroom.

In this lesson, students will begin by exploring how animals can damage the plants in a garden bed. They will view and discuss the structures of various framed garden beds. Finally, they will design

Students will learn about Planets and Stars and their relationship with each other.

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 be learning about the structure of flowers. This is a great introduction to plant growth and gardening

Students will identify the causes and effects of combining substances that result in a new kind of matter, as well as a chemical reaction. The teacher will do two easy demonstrations that show

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

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

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 films based on a student

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

In this lesson, students will explore the different physical and chemical properties of matter. They will observe their ice cream ingredients change their properties to make a new substance. Students

Within this lesson students will present their master-planned community to a test audience and potential clients. Focus 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

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
