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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Students will learn about the concept of ratios and their applications in cooking and baking. They will create simple recipes, formulate questions based on these recipes, and engage in activities to

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

The first rule in the chemistry lab is “don’t eat or drink or lick anything in the lab”! This lesson breaks those rules and shows students how culinary is really a practical application of chemistry

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 lesson has students create a unique graphical visual of the components of blood within a vial. These components of blood are then researched and used as a control for accomplishing two

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

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 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

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

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 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
