STEM Lesson Plans

Students read the story "Just a Second" to introduce students to geologic time. Next, they are given an activity to understand how long is 4.6 billion years. Then students complete a lab that allows

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

Get ready to engage with some hands-on activities that will illustrate the mechanics of calculating both kinetic and potential energy and unravel the equations for these essential parts of physics.

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 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

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 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

Engage students with competitive activities. Students will be predicting measurements, collecting data, and determining the difference between the estimation and the actual. Students will create la

This is the 1st lesson in a series of 3. 6th-grade students will work in groups to create eco-friendly inventions that help the environment and tackle climate change. They will research ideas, make

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

Empower with solar, motors & wireless! Unravel renewable energy, motor tech & wireless applications in an engaging STEM journey.

Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.

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

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.

As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.

Rad Roller Coasters Part 2 comes at the end of our paper roller coaster project. Students will collect data on their coaster and use that to calculate velocity, potential energy and kinetic energy

In this lesson plan, students will embark on a journey to explore and understand the fascinating world of Moon phases. They will begin by sharing their prior knowledge and everyday experiences of Moon

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