STEM Lesson Plans

Students will learn about engineering design and redesign. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to plan and design a boat structure. They will build a clay and paper

This lesson will explore the idea of circuits as the students wire the components of a together to create a working wobble-bot.

This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable

This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that

In this activity, students read about discovering energy and the impact encountered by ships at sea. Students will have the opportunity to read about how lighthouses can solve those problems and

In this lesson, students will code Edison robots to travel through the rock cycle. Students will describe characteristics of the metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks to create legos models

As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.

This lesson is part four of four lessons, which culminates in the flight of drones built by the students. Lesson 4: FLY focuses on the controller pairing and functions, troubleshooting possible

This lesson is part three of four lessons, which culminate in the flight of drones built by the students. Lesson 3: Max Axiom, STEM Adventurer focuses on commercial, scientific, and government drones

Students will learn about the four types of seismic waves during an earthquake. Students will then use that information to design a house that can absorb a majority of the seismic waves, limiting the

This lesson is part two of four lessons, which will culminate in the flight of drones built by the students. Lesson 2: Harmony focuses on how stakeholders work together to ensure safety, mobility, and

This lesson is part one of four lessons, which will culminate in the flight of drones built by the students. Lesson 1: SOAR focuses on social-emotional learning (SEL), noticing and wondering, and the

A kindergarten lesson focused on helping students ask questions about the stars, the moon, and the sun and how they move in the night sky. Students will participate in a read aloud, begin a KWL chart

This is a series of lessons where students will observe natural activities in the garden for five days. From the observation, they will identify the factors that have high probability of causing

In this lesson students analyze clues that help them make a claim about a phenomenon they are introduced to- a video of ash and debris-filled water rushing down a forest hill in Flagstaff. Students go

This lesson shows how matter can be subdivided into particles too small to be seen by creating ice cream in a bag from measured ingredients.

In this lesson, students use the engineering process to solve a real-world problem along the I-10 in Arizona. Students analyze data about roadkill along a particular stretch on the I-10 just outside

Students will continue from their research and start an investigation to help with their solution. They will first learn about compost and what it does. They will then develop and investigation and

This lesson plan explores the science of natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanoes, and hurricanes. It is a lesson that would help enhance student's vocabulary and

In 5th grade Social Studies we learn about the American Revolution and study evidence of Espionage used by the Patriots to win the Revolution. Prior to the activity students will read a variety of
