STEM Lesson Plans

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

This lesson plan is on how to make agar plates to grow media on. This teaches the students how to measure out the agar and water and mix properly and plate the agar properly.

Students will use projectile motion as practical example to better understand how parabolas (quadratic equations) are built. Students will also tabulate x and y values on Google Spreadsheets and graph

Students pull wooden "sleds" with different masses on them over various types of surfaces with spring scales (force meters) to calculate the different coefficients of friction. Students graph the data

Students will use Gel Electrophoresis to diagnose the dominant, fatal, genetic disorder of Huntington's Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an excessive number of CAG repeats in the DNA

This lesson is designed to uderstand the stages of mitosis by integrating Virtual Reality (VR) in the classroom. The students will be able to identify and describe the key events in each stage of

The lesson plan uses the formula derived by Sal from Khan Academy how to solve for the monthly payment of a long term loan whose interest is compounded monthly. The lesson also include how to find the

In this lesson, students will explore the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit. Using a PhET Simulation, they will collect data and graph voltage vs current

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

In this lesson students use a Pocketlab Voyager to collect data on a toy car as it goes down a track. Analysing the data, students calculate gravitational potential energy and Kinetic energy of the

This lesson is intended to be an introduction to teach students how to use the PocketLab Voyager. It covers how to connect the Voyager to your device, using Pocklab Notebook, collecting and analysing

This lesson can be used as a formative assessment on Static Equilibrium of a horizontal meter stick that has two masses hanging from the meter stick. One of the mass values is provided, the 2nd mass

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

This is a week-long set of lessons building on the structure and function of skin. The first few days will have students using technology to complete research. Students will also explore the

This is a lesson that can be taught in 5 days or one week. The lesson was put together in collaboration with the Smithsonian Science Education Center. It talks about global goals (one of which is food

Want to incorporate the Arts into your 7-12 STEM classroom? The Global Science Opera provides a way to do just that! Learn how to facilitate a STEAM collaboration with arts teachers to make it happen.

The purpose of this project is to have students use their knowledge of series and parallel circuits to create an electronic greeting card or an electronic game. This lesson should be given after

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 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

This hands-on lesson helps students understand exponential functions by using an LED circuit. LED luminosity decreases at an exponential rate as more are added in series. As students add more lights

The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn
