STEM Lesson Plans

Students are introduced to a project that asks them to use classroom materials to create a new form of vision technology. Students review how the eye works, create a plan, and share that plan with

In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the

This lesson plan will allow students to explore the use of a PhET simulation in creating a series and parallel circuit, then apply this knowledge in creating a real circuit. Students will also learn

In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph

Students will apply their knowledge of food chains within ecosystems to the design of a mandala. This lesson will combine science, visual art and geometry. First, students will get a review of food

Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated

Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a

In this lesson, students will explore how sound moves through physical matter by building a cup and string "telephone." Following testing their design, students will create a video or podcast to

In this model-based inquiry lesson, students will explore how sound travels through an in-person phenomenon. Following this experience students will then explain this phenomenon by creating a model.

Students will focus is on the historical time period of 1763- 1900 CE. The objective is to select a historically accurate person and research the person's story. Then students will plan, create

Students will use known geographical features to identify landforms on images from the Mars Orbital Reconnaissance Satellite.

The lesson introduces how the earth layers and the fossil record shows a relative time scale. The math concept of a function will be explored. Students will use cause and effect changes of Earth

The "Virtual Reality (VR) Exploration: Building a 3D Solar System" lesson is an exciting and immersive STEM experience designed for 8th-grade students. In this lesson, students delve into the world of

In this lesson students explore the relationship between pigmentation and light absorbance. Students will use a spectrophotometer to analyze pigment samples and record the absorption spectrum for

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 discusses and gives you a more in-depth understanding of the relationship of particles that are held together by a certain amount of energy. The energy is required to break bonds and the

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

Students will be creating two different gardens. A hydroponics garden indoors and a raised bed garden outside. Students will be gathering data to help define the question: What is the biggest issue

Students will engage in a phenomena based lab in which they simulate relative dating of sedimentary rocks, an earthquake and volcanic eruption. In the lab, students will see how the layers at the

This is the second lesson in a series of 2. In this lesson, students will learn about what watersheds are and then take a tour of the school campus looking at it through the lens of being a watershed

This is the first lesson in a series of 2. In this first lesson, students learn about the ongoing water crisis in Arizona and how rainwater harvesting can help drought regions. Students will watch a

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

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 will discuss current baseball teams names and mascots. Then students are tasked to design a new team name/logo/mascot for a city/state that does not currently have a major league team
