STEM Lesson Plans

The goal of this engaging science lesson is to deepen students' understanding of magnets, electromagnetic forces, and their practical applications in real-world technology. Aligned with the 7.P2U1.1

This is a hands-on activity where students can visualize, using Skittles as atoms, the concept of balancing chemical reactions. Many students get thrown off by the fact that products often look, smell

Student teams design insulated beverage cups with the challenge to test them to determine which material works best as an insulator to keep a hot beverage warm for as long as possible. Students test

Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument

This is the second part of two lessons on density. This lesson is on the density of liquids following the first lesson on density of solids. The lesson is a lab on layering several liquids with

This lesson is on density of solids. It's one lesson of two. This lesson should be first since it introduces density but it can be revised and used after the density of liquids. The lesson has a short

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

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.

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

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

This lesson plan aims to incorporate Science, Engineering, and Math subjects into the Digital Book Project. Students paraphrase in simple words the explanations of chemical reactions in everyday life

In this hands-on lesson, students design and execute an experiment to maximize caffeine extraction when making coffee. The caffeine testing is conducted using a Spectrometer. The focus of this lesson

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

This lesson allows students to explore the Law of Conservation of Mass through a balloon lab activity using baking soda and vinegar. Students will be able to develop a model to describe their findings

This is a multiple-day lesson plan based on Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. Students begin the lesson by collecting data observing coins moving across a table. After making the observations, students will

In this lesson, students will learn about the history of flight and the technological advancements that led to modern aviation. Students will learn about how the study of birds and other flying

In this lesson, students will learn about the different types of flying machines and differentiate between them and identify the different parts of a drone. They will also learn about their functions.

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.

Students will continue from their research and start an investigation to help with their solution. They will first learn about compost and what it does. They will then develop and investigation and

In this lesson on "Friction Fires and Its Associated Phenomena" the objectives are as follows: Students will be able to explain the process of friction fire, including the materials and techniques
