STEM Lesson Plans

This is the second part of a two-part lesson. This lesson has students using a stethoscope to measure heart rate to collect data for equivalent ratios.

This is a lesson that has two parts. The first is a lesson is using the design process to create a simple stethoscope using various materials and defining which would give the best results. Part two

Students will research, construct, and present replicas of ancient civilization monuments. They will explore the historical and cultural significance of these monuments and integrate knowledge from

This is a lesson plan made to target the fifith grade standard on how noncontact forces impact one another. It can be adapted to grades 5-12. Students will explore magnetism and polarization, research

In the Drone Light Show project, students will explore the intersection of technology, creativity, and teamwork by designing and programming their own synchronized drone light show. Utilizing DJI

Students will work together to create a scale to build the solar system using ratios and proportions.

Lesson "Phoenix Reimagined: From Sun City to Solar City" ensures that students engage in age-appropriate, hands-on learning experiences that promote understanding of solar energy and its applications

In this project, students practice using scale by designing and crafting items for a model bedroom using a 1:12 scale ratio. They learn how to accurately shrink real-world dimensions down to miniature

Students will use PIXLR to compare sizes of the moon and earth to each other and other objects in the solar system.

This lesson was for 2nd/3rd graders in an after-school class. Students were not familiar with 3D printing or Tinkercad. We spent 3 days to complete. Day 1 was learning about 3D printing, opening

Students will use Tinkercad's website to create a 3D box and lid. I provide step-by-step Google Slides on how students create this project, share videos of the directions, and additional resources for

Using the website TeachingEngineering as a model along with their worksheets, students will create an oil spill and explore the current methods of cleaning it up. They will engineer a new method of

For this lesson, students will be using the LEGO Spike Prime Kits and LEGO Mindstorm software. Students will write programs using the Color Sensor to make the Driving Base autonomous. A variety 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.

Students will research and use math calculations to set up a classroom worm compost bin to compare to a classroom non-worm compost bin to be utilized for observation throughout the school year for

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

This lesson utilizes a digital level to provide real-world applications of slope and angle measurements. Making connections to careers and practical applications enables students to answer that

In this physics lesson, students will explore force, motion, kinetic energy and potential energy through projects and gameplay. They create a prototype of a cup and ball game using the engineering

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

This STEAM lesson is ideal for Tucson/Pima County Middle School Students who can participate in the annual KIDStruction building contest but you can also duplicate many of the learning opportunities

This lesson introduces students to TinkerCAD and has them create simple shapes that measure at a given ratio. The students then print and measure their design to see how close they were able to get to

In this hands-on STEM lesson, students will have the opportunity to explore light and color theory by building their own adjustable color mixing circuit with an RGB LED. Variable resistors will allow

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
