STEM Lesson Plans

In the second lesson in the Thirst set, students will learn about Dharavi, a slum within the city of Mumbai. Economical water scarcity drives the lives of those who reside in Dharavi. Students will

In this lesson, students will need to obtain, evaluate and communicate the effects of gravity on objects. Students will watch an engagement video demonstrating how many objects fall to the ground

Students will be able to identify the planets in our solar system, describe the difference between rotation and revolution, and engineer a three dimensional model of our solar system.

This is the second part of a two-part lesson. This lesson has students using a stethoscope to measure heart rate to collect data for equivalent ratios.

This is a lesson that has two parts. The first is a lesson is using the design process to create a simple stethoscope using various materials and defining which would give the best results. Part two

This lesson is primarily based off of Paul Anderson’s, “The Wonder of Science” website. The lessons can either be prepared with actual objects with you the teacher instructing or showing the video

An overall view of mining, minerals, and their role in our everyday life. This lesson compares the past, present and future of mining and it's relativity to sustaining our way of life.

This is a lesson plan made to target the fifith grade standard on how noncontact forces impact one another. It can be adapted to grades 5-12. Students will explore magnetism and polarization, research

Students will modify previous versions of their Edison robots to move objects on the Mars map. Students will investigate the idea of a biosphere and use their robots to move supplies to the biosphere

Students will practice coding using Ed Blocks. They will use a given map as a target for their robot navigation with precision. The emphasis on this lesson is on making modifications and adjustments

This lesson integrates mathematics when designing a garden tool. Students will be tasked with building a functional garden tool to use in the school greenhouse.

Lesson "Phoenix Reimagined: From Sun City to Solar City" ensures that students engage in age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences that promote understanding of solar energy and its applications

In this fifth grade lesson plan, students extract DNA after reading about a young girl who is persistent in showing her parents she can be responsible. Students engage in identifying character traits

Students will use PIXLR to compare sizes of the moon and earth to each other and other objects in the solar system.

This lesson was for 2nd/3rd graders in an after-school class. Students were not familiar with 3D printing or Tinkercad. We spent 3 days to complete. Day 1 was learning about 3D printing, opening

This lesson is based off of the Artemis Roads II lesson developed by NASA. Students will be researching and developing a biome/lunar greenhouse. This is part 1 of 2 of the lesson plan.

Students will use Tinkercad's website to create a 3D box and lid. I provide step-by-step Google Slides on how students create this project, share videos of the directions, and additional resources for

In this hands-on STEM lesson, students will have the opportunity to explore light and color theory by building their own adjustable color mixing circuit with an RGB LED. Variable resistors will allow

Part 1: Rotation and Revolution (of Earth) Phenomenon: Why do we experience periods of day and night? This is a 1 to 3-day lesson with five activities primarily focusing on rotation of the Earth which

This is the 2nd set of 4 lesson plans that correlate with the novel "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs. This is a literature-inspired project base learning opportunity. The lessons include straw rockets

Students will design and construct a prototype of a tiny house on wheels. They will use graph paper to draw out their ideal tiny house on wheels, ensuring the sizing of the rooms and ceilings are

Get your students up and moving! Together, you and your students will move and create a model of the solar system. Your kinesthetic learners will love this lesson! The solar system comes to life

This is the first of four lessons based on the novel Space Case by Stuart Gibbs. This lesson will help create equitable background knowledge for the literature-infused project-based learning project

In this lesson, students will be creating a working model demonstrating Earth’s rotation and revolution. Students will be able to explain the differences between Earth’s rotation and revolution
