STEM Lesson Plans

Students are challenged to create a battlebot that will be powered by a sphero and compete against other bots. Each bot will have an inflated balloon attached to the back. The objective is to pop

Coding and flying drones what a match! Students will have the chance to experiment with flying a drone in a simulator. The lesson includes 4 missions incorporating forces of flight acting on a drone.

This lesson integrates technology (microbits), engineering design, and career exploration for middle school students. It encourages hands-on learning and critical thinking through the creation of

This lesson shows how to use VEX IQ robots in your classroom. There are links to the VEX free resources that can be used to help new or experienced robotics teachers.

This is the 4th lesson plan in a set of 4 lessons that correspond to the novel "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs. In the last chapters of the book, we find that this main character encounters robotic arms

This is a 5E lesson plan for teaching middle school students (grades 6-8) how to use sensors to control motors and interact with objects on a field using block code with a system like LEGO Mindstorms.

In this outstanding lesson, students will design and build their own mini golf hole (first on scaled paper, then using cardboard and recycled materials). One obstacle must be made out of a net

Students will create an engineering notebook that documents their progress through the engineering design process as it applies to their choice of project, either creating a toy from “trash” or a

In this lesson, students are introduced to RVR (Sphero) robots and program their robot to drive over to kindergarten students and read aloud a book. Younger students enjoy the ability to work with a

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

Have you ever wondered what the real reason was as to why Galaga was such a popular arcade game? Look no further this lesson has you covered. Students will create their very own modern version of

MS MakeCode is the perfect stepping stone into the world of Scratch. Students will be able to create a working video game in one class period. As we all know classic video games were not built over

This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by

Student learn to code robots using VEXs free VEX VR code.

This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar

This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life

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

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

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

Students will apply STEM principles to design and build a working circuit in the shape of a heart, incorporating science concepts, technology tools, engineering skills, and mathematical calculations.

In this lesson students will use the Engineering Design Process to create a working foosball table. Students will also code a Micro:bit that they will use to keep score between the two teams.

Students will create a 3D bookmark in Tinkercad. I pace this unit for three days. Day 1 is the introduction of 3D printing and practice in Tinkercad. Days 2 and 3 are creating and sharing their

This lesson is intended to be the second lesson within a series. After the first lesson, exploring the transfer of power within a system, Students utilize this lesson, lesson 2, to explain how and
