STEM Lesson Plans

Explore temperature and weather with students. Teachers will guide students through this graphing and research activity. The unit opens with a literacy component, Global Warming with Seymour Simon

This lesson plan will give you an idea on how to deliver the Area of Rectangles topic to your classes which will make your students enjoy and interact during the discussion. This will require some

This lesson give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical

For this lesson, students will build a Ferris Wheel using both technic pieces and bricks from the LEGO Spike Prime kit. They will work through the engineering design process, collect data and

Students will experiment with electromagnets and building them using a 3D model. They will collect data and analyze the data. Students will experiment with 4 different types of batteries and create

After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.

Students use Google Earth Timelapse to observe changes to glaciers over time before completing an investigation on the effects of melting sea ice and land ice on global sea level rise. This

In Arizona, rain a major component of the water cycle, is a precious and vital. Students will gain an understanding of the three phase of watrer on the earth: solid, liquid and gas and the four stages

In this lesson the students will explore the formation of rocks as the result of the flow of energy and cycling of matter within Earth.

In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.

Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.

Students will use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity. This solar energy is transmitted through cables to the motor and then to the fountain. The fountain pressure increases and

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house from Sketchup to Graph. Materials: Oversized Graph

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house. Materials: Computer with internet access for

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They

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

In this unique and engaging lesson, students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes. They will collaborate and communicate effectively with their

Students will construct a straw rocket launcher that utilizes air pressure as the force to push the rocket through the air. A STEM journal will guide them through planning an investigation. Students

This lesson plan involves dilation and scale factors and how the human eye perceives 3D when it only uses 2D images. The hand-on activity is a perspective drawing of a city scape and teaches about

Students design and test a device for an egg drop in this engaging and hands-on lesson. They will document their data, make modifications to designs, and assess what the outcome is of their own drop

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

In this inquiry-based lesson, students explore energy with the phenomenal Newton's cradle. They will be able to understand and apply the Law of Conservation of Energy. Students will identify the
