STEM Lesson Plans

Students will learn how to construct a moving car robot and program the robot using block-based coding. They will be successful when they have coded the car robot through a maze, they created, without

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

In this kindergarten lesson we'll be learning all about bats and why they're important to our environment. Students will create a bat out of ripped up pieces of paper and will fill in a bat template

Students will plan and design a maze using the supplies provided to move one marble from the start line to the finish line. They will learn about potential and kinetic energy properties. We will use

Students will design a keychain in Tinkercad, strengthening their understanding of metric units and design, while also using the following mathematical vocabulary: volume, prism, cylinder, millimeters

This lesson will explore aerodynamics, rocketry, and principles of space flights. Students will act as engineers. Their job is to research, plan, design, and build a water bottle rocket that will

When studying Life Science, students are very curious to watch animals and plants growing. In this lesson, students observe growth of baby guppies in fish tanks, understanding life cycles and growing

This is a CSI lesson where students solve mystery on Physical and Chemical change. This is an engaging way as students will conduct an investigation like a real crime investigator.

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete

Summary: Students will design and create a model of a flowering plant that correctly displays its external structure. Materials: Straws, toothpicks, felt, paper, string, wooden skewers, modeling clay

This hands-on lesson has students create a barometer using a jar, balloon, stir stick and tape. They collect data over a span of time and graph it to understand how a barometer works and how it

Students learn how to identify the 3 axes an aircraft uses while in flight in this lesson. They learn key vocabulary and construct a model airplane to develop further understanding of flight!

Over 2 days (60 min or more each day), students create a catapult out of jumbo popsicle sticks, a water bottle cap and rubber bands. The challenge is for students to launch their snowball (cotton ball

This can be taught at different grade levels, diving deeper when possible. Just delete what you don’t need. Students will be creating their own crystal by following the scientific method, collecting

This lesson is part of a school-wide project to renovate a greenhouse and create a native seed library. This lesson is intended to create intrinsic motivation to engage in the project. This lesson

This middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

Students will use a Scratch template to make a model of the seasons, one from a view above the ecliptic, one to the side of the ecliptic and then a distance-time graph. Students will be using their

Students will be working cooperatively to explore wind energy and electricity by engineering wind turbine blades.

In this lesson, students will show how heat transfers into an egg during the hard-boiling process, and additionally, different methods of how heat can transfer out of an egg during the cooling process
