STEM Lesson Plans

Students will identify and address problems from "Animal Farm" through STEM projects by collaborating in small groups to research, develop proposals, and present solutions, with tailored support and

Students will research a biome around the world, including 3 animals, 3 plants, and 3 nonliving parts of the ecosystem. Students will construct a diorama of the biome and illustrate a natural disaster

A common challenge in Thermodynamic Chemistry is how do endo vs. exothermic reactions FEEL. Students will conduct three different chemical reactions to collect data and observations about the

In this first grade set of lessons, students will participate in science, math, experiments, and literature questions. Read Apples by Gail Gibbons and learn about the importance of washing your hands.

This is a lesson plan for an activity that is used to teach meiosis. Students learn about various stages of meiosis and how it leads to variation.

Students will understand the relationship between physical movement and energy production, and apply this knowledge to determine how much physical activity is required to power various household items

This is a 6-week lesson plan for high school students designed to measure and then increase the bat population in the field behind our school. This can be used in any area where bats populate, as long

For this lesson, students will be using the LEGO Spike Prime Kits and LEGO Mindstorm software. Students will write programs using the Color Sensor to make the Driving Base autonomous. A variety of

The emphasis of this lesson is for students to see that their heart rate will increase after 1 minute of jumping jacks because the cells need additional oxygen while exercising, making their heartbeat

In this lesson students will explore bugs and their attributes. Students will also understand the difference between an insect and a bug, use math skills such as counting and symmetry, and also have

Students will explain how the apples are changing numbers through stem challenges and physical tests in this early childhood lesson.

Students will explain the difference between sink and float through hands on experiences in this early childhood lesson.

In the lesson on upcycling empty water bottles, students will embark on an innovative and eco-friendly exploration of creative reuse, incorporating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM)

In the STEM Pine Cone Decoration lesson, students will embark on a creative and hands-on exploration of nature-inspired crafting, integrating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts

In this activity, teachers will guide students through a simulation that models the population dynamics between fish and bears. The objective is for students to understand and analyze the interactions

This is a 5E lesson plan for teaching middle school students (grades 6-8) how to use sensors to control motors and interact with objects on a field using block code with a system like LEGO Mindstorms.

In this creative lesson, students choose to be heroes saving an endangered species or to be villains eradicating an endangered species. They create their origin story, finance a plan, and end with a
