STEM Lesson Plans

After completing a ratio table and researching the benefits of the ingredients in chicken feed, students will now be able to build a bag of chicken feed for a local farmer!

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

This lesson plan walks you through our engineering of a garden box and extended lesson of our plant growth.

Students will create 3D Models of a water form. Learners will record a photo of their model, write and type or record information about their model via iPad or tablet. Students will record a learning

This is session 4 of a 4 session unit on innovative thinking, agricultural engineering, and farm model making. This is the second session of hands-on farm model making. Students will work with a

This is session 3 of a 4 session unit on innovative thinking, agricultural engineering, and farm model making. In this session students begin to work with a partner or small group to construct their

This is session 2 of a 4 session unit on innovative thinking, agricultural engineering, and farm model making. This session introduces students to agricultural engineering. It discusses how due to a

This is session 1 of a 4 session unit on innovative thinking, agricultural engineering, and farm model making. The first session introduces students to Dr. Temple Grandin, a creative thinker who has

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.

The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be

Students are put into groups of 3 or 4. As a group they create an animal cell model and then create a slide show naming and describing the organelles of an animal cell.

This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Students will experiment with stirring colors and creating effects, to learn through experimentation while creating a piece of art. The purpose of this lesson is to use visual arts to explore

Students will be able to observe and recognize that a thermometer is a device that is used to measure a change in temperature.

Students will be learning about the life cycle of a potato, how to grow potatoes, and measuring the growth of the stems. You'll need potatoes that are ready to plant, garden space, or tubs to put the

Model Building For Disaster is a 4-6 week unit in which students research natural disasters around the world and their effect on developing countries. Following their research, student teams design

In this activity, students will make a model of the planets in the solar system and specifically model their distances to scale. Materials: Model of the Solar System-plastic 3D model String Push pins

Students will germinate seeds and record any observations during the process.

Students will learn and explain about pollination and how it helps plants to grow and reproduce. After reading about pollinators, students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

The students will create a Three Sisters Garden by participating in a teamwork activity, listening to a read aloud, watching a video, creating a diagram, planting the garden, and creating a video

This is the 2nd part in a 4-lesson series. This lesson is on the fins and how they work with balanced and unbalanced forces. Students will need the worksheet, the article for read and reflect, foam

In this unit, students will study the effects of acid rain and chemically engineer an environmentally friendly solution to neutralize the acid in a simulated river contaminated by factory run-off
