STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is a follow up of lesson 1 of 2. Students will extend the focus of their cause by creating a logo and swag to be presented at an "EXPO" held at your school.

This lesson can be applied to multiple content areas. Following a discussion about what a cause is and looking at examples, students will work in groups to create a name, mission statement, and vision

After listening to Edwina The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct, students will explain how Reginald Von Hoobie Doobie reacts to events in the story by creating a Behavior-Over-Time Graph and

The students will be reading, writing, and representing three digit numbers using base ten numerals and expanded form. The purpose is for the students to write numbers in expanded form and represent

In this lesson students will learn how to maintain their drones: replace batteries and propellers. The students will conduct a propeller altering experiment to determine the effects of changing the

Get ready to engage with some hands-on activities that will illustrate the mechanics of calculating both kinetic and potential energy and unravel the equations for these essential parts of physics.

Students are constructing a cardboard control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors. In this lesson, students will begin working on the electrical

This lesson begins the students' adventures into the wide world of drones. The lesson starts by exploring how drones (UAVs) are used in different fields. This lesson helps to gauge interest in

Students are constructing a cardboard remote control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors.

In this lesson students model a fast change to Earth's surface by creating a landslide and a slow change to Earth's surface by simulating coastal erosion.

This lesson is for 2nd-5th grade students. It covers a range of AZ science standards and connects to math, reading, and social studies concepts. It also incorporates STEAM hands on activities to

Students will learn about the community in Yuma, AZ. We will read Roxaboxen and talk about the theme, Community. Students will use the design process to create a model and pitch it for a new park

After listening to Knuffle Bunny, students retell the story by coding a path on a map for Ozobot to follow.

What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate

The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM

Students work together to measure the lengths and angles of a maze in order to create a scale drawing of it. They then use EdScratch to program their Edison robots to navigate the maze.

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.

In this lesson, students are to use simple materials to create a structure that holds weight. It must be able to stand on its own. Students will first study and discuss gravity.

This lesson pairs STEM with the book - "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief". Students will discuss characters, their relationships to the Greek Gods, the importance of the Greek Gods

After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of

In this creative lesson, students engage in the Engineering Design Process and explore e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.

Students work their way through the first two parts of the engineering process in order to get a deeper understanding of an environmental problem- trash. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is certainly

This is a four-day lesson where students work in groups to design a fixture using LEGO bricks that holds a marker in an upright position while attached to their Edison Robots. Students code the robot
