STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson students will demonstrate their deeper understanding of how the concept of slope is applied to the real-world construction of the wheelchair access ramp. Students will use the knowledge

Students will learn about the four types of seismic waves during an earthquake. Students will then use that information to design a house that can absorb a majority of the seismic waves, limiting the

Students will create an inclined plane using Pythagorean Theorem and will experiment with rolling objects and try to find a solution to reduce the speed through friction, or air resistance or weight.

Students will be learning about the Fibonacci mathematical design pattern. They will learn about the 3 different mathematical Fibonacci sequence designs, vocabulary, and creating their own art

This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture

In this engaging lesson, students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge. Link to view all lessons is included!

In this coding lesson, students explore how rearrangement of lines of code relates to sequences of geometrical transformations. Students use principles of coding to make a robot follow a series of

Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math

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

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

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.

This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider

Students learn about passive solar energy and design and build a model of a passive solar house.

Use the Edison robots to tell a story from the perspective of an immigrant/emigrant moving through the US during the time period of 1700-to 1900 as it fits 5th grade Social Science Standards. Students

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

Introduction to Robotic programming using the Wonder Cue robot with the blaster. Using Block coding or Javascript, teach the students to create a series of instructions that move the robot through a

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

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
