STEM Lesson Plans

Students will investigate the properties of different types of matter and apply the concept of "P1: Matter" to design, model, and 3D print an object using a MakerBot 3D printer. Hands-On STEM Design

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

This lesson serves to provide an extension to lesson one. In this lesson, students will have the opportunity to build their own model of the solar system to scale, utilizing math concepts of exponents

This lesson serves as visual example of the concept of exponents and how scientific notation is utilized in science. Additionally, students will utilize scientific notation to measure distance of

This is part 2 of a two-part series focused on the effects of grafting tomato plants to potato root stock in order to create "pomato" plants. This lesson is written for junior high students but can be

Students will be able to collaboratively build, and program a simple robot using Lego Spike Prime kits. Students will demonstrate basic skills in robotics and coding by successfully constructing their

This is a junior high lesson on plant grafting that can be done in a classroom setting or with an after-school club such as botany. This lesson can be easily modified for any grade level. In this

Students will go through the process of counting pumpkin seeds and analyzing data through mean, median and mode as well as creating correlating graphs. Students will learn what causes fruit

Students will have fun building and testing with KidSpark observing and calculating forces such as load and effort.

Students will learn how fingerprints are used to solve crimes. Students will then take their own prints, examine patterns within their prints, and compare/contrast the percentages for each type of

In this engaging lesson, students study and design a healthy fish tank with a variety of animals. Students also learn about budgeting costs.

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

Students will learn about the three pillars of sustainability through their quail farm. They will incubate, raise and restock their quails in order for them to be sustainable regardless of what

In this engaging lesson, students will learn about genetics and create their own characters in which they will find a mate and create an offspring. They will use traits and Punnett Squares to create

Students will use a budget sheet to 'buy' materials for the challenge. They will be applying their knowledge of decimals to add up their total as well as critical thinking and problem solving skills

Design a helicopter out of paper only. Students will explore design and paper types.

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions
