STEM Lesson Plans

Get ready for the opportunity to experience the life of a scribe in 2000 B.C.E. During this productivity lab and inquiry, students explore how new knowledge and new technology can impact a workers

In this lesson students will use Tinkercad to design a puzzle piece that will be used in the Escape Room from the previous lesson. This can be used as a stand alone lesson or in conjunction with the

In this lesson students will design a rough and final draft of an escape room using scale factor and ratios. Students will also create an escape plan using math at the level of the teachers choosing

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.

In this creative lesson, students use research and observations to plan an ideal area for our school chickens. Students build the needed structures and work together to create the chickens' home.

In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use

Students will design and construct a prototype of a tiny house on wheels. They will use graph paper to draw out their ideal tiny house on wheels, ensuring the sizing of the rooms and ceilings are

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

Explore how cells can only be so big by studying how things move in and out of them, and discover why the size of a cell is connected to its surface area and volume.

This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to

Students will focus sunlight through a pinhole onto a sheet of paper. Knowing the distance between the projection and the pinhole allows students to calculate the diameter of the Sun using ratios.

This lesson is focused on solidifying the definition of percent while students collaborate, implement a variety of tools to solve problems involving percentages. Mathematical practices are embedded

This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 3. In this 8-week project, 6th-grade students will collaborate in small groups to create eco-friendly inventions that aim to reduce their carbon footprints and

In this lesson, students will learn about rate through their lettuce seeds in our hydroponic machine. Students use an Excel spreadsheet to document their findings.

In this engaging lesson, students complete 2 labs to investigate and analyze how the force of gravity impacts objects. The lesson is formatted for Argument Driven Inquiry design, which means it starts

In this hands-on lesson, students use making lemonade to practice lab procedures, measurement and ratios as well as learning about temperatures affecting saturation points.

This is the final lesson of 4 lessons. In this lesson we are creating our design from lesson 3. This is a project-type lesson, so it is not done in a traditional manner. Students will create either

This is the 3rd lesson of a 4-part series. In this lesson the students will be using their gauge from their swatch to design a garment or accessory for a model. Using proportional relationships

This lesson is the first of 4 lessons that helps students on the journey to knitting with Math. The lesson uses proportions and ratios to help students understand the basic swatch and how to calculate

This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or

Discover the power of hydraulics and pneumatics! Engaging in STEM activity on building systems and understanding fluid dynamics.

This is a multiple-day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will
