STEM Lesson Plans

This engaging lesson is the 2nd lesson in a series of 2 focused on data science inquiry. Students use their My Data Portraits from Lesson 1 for data collection, analysis, presentation, reflection and

Love it, kind of like it, kind of don’t like it, or don’t like it at all are typical responses to many things…depending on what we are being asked! During this investigation, we explore together, how

This lesson expands upon ASU's Ask a Biologist "Monster Manual" Activity to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Students learn about DNA and how we inherit traits through an analogy of decoding a

This hands-on lesson allows students to investigate how the length of a piece of string affects the speed and centripetal force on an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed and use

This hands-on lesson asks students to design and build a storage system that utilizes excess rainwater for the purpose of reuse in a garden. Students explore science, math, and engineering principles

In this lesson, students will learn about the history of flight and the technological advancements that led to modern aviation. Students will learn about how the study of birds and other flying

In this lesson, students will learn about the different types of flying machines and differentiate between them and identify the different parts of a drone. They will also learn about their functions.

In this lesson students will learn about water filtration and how to filter simulated Martian water. Students will build water filters and use the engineering design process. This is the 2nd lesson in

This lesson is about Mars and Martian water. It introduces students to the geography of Mars and the various ices found on Mars. This is the 1st lesson in a 2-part series.

This lesson is Part 2 of an engineering challenge. In Cooling Structure Challenge Part 2 students will use what they learned when they designed, built, and tested their prototype in Part 1. Often we

In this engaging lesson, students are given data and are required to graph the data, analyze the data to determine the carrying capacity of four different organisms.

Fashion design and apparel engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines the knowledge of engineering, technology, math, science and the arts with the creativity of fashion design. In this

Students use GIS and analyze another digital map before constructing a model to explain human impacts on different biomes across the globe.

This 2-Day STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the sun and solar system (including our planet, the moon, and asteroids), and is intended to focus on

Students play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.

This STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the differences between substances (in the solid, liquid, and gas states), and energy transfer. It is intended to last

Students recreate a unique Operation board game with a circuit that lights with an LED and buzzes with a piezo. Students use the Engineering Design Process to plan and document their process. Students

This challenge focuses on teamwork and the engineering process. Students will work in groups of 3-4 to research, design, build, test, and reflect upon their cooling structure. Work will be completed

This lesson plan will help students gather and analyze data from a climate of a small-scale area such as the football field, parking lot and botanical garden.

Fashion design and apparel engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines the knowledge of engineering, technology, math, science, and the arts with the creativity of fashion design. In this
