STEM Lesson Plans

Students will be creating an obstacle course and utilizing edison robots and edScratch to program robots to go through the course. Materials: Edison Robots and anything needed to create the obstacle

In this lesson, students will calculate the surface area of rectangular prism, first constructed and then deconstructed and make observations about any potential differences. Making these connections

This lesson is useful in a high school Physics or Calculus Class. Students will be matching Distance-Time and Velocity-Time Graphs, sometimes creating their own.

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

Materials: Base plate: The base plate is the foundation for the wind turbine and supports the rest of the components. Tower: The tower holds up the gearbox and the rotor assembly. Gearbox: The gearbox

Lesson Summary: Students code robots to match different distance time graphs. For each graph the teacher stamps their paper and they move on to the next more difficult one. Materials Robots that can

This lesson plan is taught to students with learning disabilities in the area of math problem solving. As part of students’ IEP, students in this lesson will be taught through small group by modeling

OBJECTIVES: Today we will analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth for your sample Today we will graphically model that relationship Today we will extend and reflect on the entire

This lesson plan focuses around 4 key topics, with activities for each. The plan covers renewable energy, solar energy, why solar energy is important, and what the children can do to conserve energy

This is a 2 day lesson plan where the first day has a local accountant will come and present about investments and their exponential properties followed by a small activity to help make the nature of

OBJECTIVES: Today we will gather data about local tree diameters Today we will estimate the approximate age of trees Today we will build connections between a tree’s growth and environmental factors

Start by discussing/learning what is matter, the states of matter, properties of matter. What is mass, how to measure it. Two labs follow: density of solids and density of liquids. Students will need

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Integrate optimized components into an existing design. Provide plans for the project's

This lesson plan requires the prior knowledge of the students about the different operations with Integers. This will be an activity to master the concept about integers through a DaMath game. This is

Today students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. Today students will accurately complete an itemized receipt

The activity is designed to simulate how scientists look for patterns in evidence to make claims, and back them up with reasoning. There are some important takeaways that students will make: students

This lesson is designed to allow students the experience to move from an additive understanding in mathematics to a multiplicative understanding through the activity called Cootie Catcher. The

The lesson gives an introduction to ASCII as part of a set of lessons that introduce computer science. For this less you will need colored beads, only need two colors, some string, and graphic

In this lesson students review the Edison robot and coding in Edscratch. They will then work together to solve math problems and then code the edison robot to match their solution to the math

This is the first part the egg drop challenge. Students will design and test an egg drop capsule. Students will keep a budget and fill out a data and reflection paper.

Make quadratics come alive with stomp rockets! This is a 3-4 hour learning experience where students will build and launch paper rockets, then use the data to create quadratic equations.

In this lesson students will learn how crime scene investigators use science and engineering techniques and technology to solve crimes. Students will match substances based upon their physical and

Students learn about and construct a food web of the sagebrush ecosystem. This is a 2 x 50 minute lesson with an additional 30 minutes for the computer simulation. Students work in small groups to

This is the second part of the egg drop challenge. Students will improve on their original deign and make a new design to test and analyze.
