STEM Lesson Plans

Students will discover the many different facets of building a business including product research, marketing, finances, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.

This lesson provides a quick and easy to understand introduction to Binary code. In this lesson, we focus on binary numbers whereas, subsequent lessons can focus on the binary alphabet.

Students will use the engineering design process to complete 3 challenges. Each challenge gathers data and collects their engineering changes necessary to complete the challenge.

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

Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases

Students learn about atomic theory and the scientists that theorized new atomic models from experiments they conducted. Students then create a 3D model for each advancement in the theory timeline

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.

Making a wave machine to learn about the parts of the wave. This is the foundational learning piece before heading into the seismic building challenge.

This lesson aims to introduce the concept of equilibrium point by creating and revising a model. This hands-on lesson encourages students to explore the concepts of equilibrium and balance while

This lesson is used to introduce our unit on Energy in a 9th grade physics course; however, it can be adapted to various grade levels and contents. It can be completed over 1–3 days, depending on your

In this lesson, you'll witness the sparkle in your student's eyes as they become Candytopia explorers and chemists, making observations, grouping candies, and creating their own Candy Periodic Table

This lesson incorporates science, math and writing. Students will get to make and taste grilled cheeses and determine what ingredients and what methods they think will make the best grilled cheese

This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and

Students will learn how fingerprints are used to solve crimes. Students will then take their own prints, examine patterns within their prints, and compare/contrast the percentages for each type of

In this lesson, students will first learn the importance of using reliable tools when gathering data in an experiment. When given common acidic and basic substances, students will then begin to

The students will create an interactive diorama using the Hummingbird Robotics kit on Natural Disasters. The students will choose their Natural Disaster that they want to bring to life, complete a

Students will be researching engineering design features that can be utilized to create buildings that can more effectively withstand the effects of a major earthquake. Students will work within a

This is a hands-on lesson for both science and math exploration. Students use tape to explore the forces between charges and come up with a mathematical expression for how that works! They create a

In this hands-on lesson, students will create a sourdough starter to help them explore the wonders of fermentation.

In this lesson students will use a 3D Pen created and constructed catapult to learn about potential energy as well as test, document, and analyze different projectiles. This is the 2nd lesson in a

In this lesson, students will work with 3D Pens to create and construct a catapult. This is the 1st lesson in a series of 2. The 2nd lesson is linked with this lesson.

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students construct candy DNA models to explore its structure, base pairing rules, and replication, enriching their understanding of genetics.

In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of engineering to design and build a greenhouse.

This lesson gave students the opportunity to research basketball statistic during the height of playoff season. They were able to realize the difference between quantitative and qualitative data. They
