STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson aims to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of geometry through the lens of architecture. Students will explore the properties of geometric shapes, study famous architectural

Barbie is an adventure seeker to the max! She loves the thrill of death defying activities. She believes the adrenaline rush makes her hair more lustrous and keeps a brilliant smile on her face; so

Are your students fans of Formula 1? If they are or aren't this lesson will take a look into the dominance of Red Bull Racing in Formula 1. Why is Red Bull so dominant? Is it the driver or the

A lesson that dives into the fusion of Art and Chemistry. Students will make their own pigments using common plants by using an acid-base reaction. They will test the effects of different solvents in

Students use what they know about similar triangles to create a problem. They will use laser pointers and a small mirror to create a problem requiring students to point the laser beam at the mirror to

Students will explore the historical use of natural pigments by indigenous peoples, particularly those native to the Southwest region. They will use mathematical concepts to paint using the pigments

Students will understand and apply geometric concepts such as symmetry, angles, and scaling in the context of labyrinth design.

In this real-world STEM lesson, students take on the role of product planners at Apple to determine the optimal production mix of iPhone 16 colors that maximize profit while considering demand

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

I recently extended my lesson on my homesite lease, which involves land plots on the reservation. I covered the process of designing our land plot, including drawing elements such as homes, corrals

For hundreds of years, people have harnessed moving air (wind) to do work. The earliest forms of wind-powered machines were sailboats. Wind pushing against the sails of a boat provided the energy to

This STEM Argumentative Research Project engages students in exploring the scientific, ethical, and societal implications of themes in Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Students will work in groups to

Students will apply principles of design, engineering, and mathematics to create a physical or digital labyrinth inspired by the myth of Theseus. This project integrates STEM concepts with literature

Students go to four different stations to observe how pressure, temperature, and volume interact to affect the behavior of gases. They will also utilize math skills for some of the stations in this

Students will grow two plants, one control and one with a manipulated independent variable. Throughout the time the plant grows students will monitor the plants and make observations. They will also

In this lesson, students will explore the key physics principles that govern the design and operation of street lighting systems. Through a hands-on engineering design challenge, students will apply

The students in this lab activity will play a competitive game with a small bouncy ball. The students will analyze the motion of the ball and apply projectile motion concepts. This activity requires

In this lesson students will collect data on the performance of their drone. Students will design a systematic process of data collection that will then lead to the development of a predictive model

In this lesson, students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator. Next, they graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their

Get the athletic shoes ready! Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs in this engaging lesson. The change in potential energy

Teachers will be introduced to the VEX V5 Robotic Platform. We will start with an Introduction to robotics and how robotics is used in industry. Students will understand the key resources they will be

This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that

This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by

Students will be working on enlarging a candy wrapper using the grid technique.
