STEM Lesson Plans

Students will model series and parallel circuits in Tinkercad and transfer the design to a physical breadboard. At the end of the lesson, students must use the design process to design and build a

This lesson is called shape sculpture and the students will fashion a sculpture out of celluclay. Initially the students will create a 2D drawing of a cake design (or cupcake or doughnut depending on

This lesson is the second lesson of a two-part series where students investigate concepts of biomimicry and apply them to the real world with issues like resource scarcity. In this lesson, students

In this lesson, students will learn about desert plant and animal adaptations and the concept of biomimicry. Students will discuss examples of biomimicry in nature and in the real world and will

In this lesson students learn about the simple machine screw, specifically the Archimedes Screw, and engineer a device that can lift a marble.

This lesson plan is about structures that are balanced using tension forces. Students will create their own tensegrity structure that will withstand a predetermined amount of weight. Students will

The lesson is adapted from resources created by the Green Drone AZ Project. This is module 1 of 4 featuring focused activities to address real-world environmental challenges within Arizona communities

This is best for high school AP/IB/Honors Biology students for using clay and miscellaneous items to model and then film their model of Cellular Respiration to better understand how the Electron

The Navajo Code Talker Mockup Radio Transmitter Project is an ELA/STEM hands-on lesson designed for 11th-grade students. This project-based lesson that involves students working in small groups to

Calculating Moles to gram of multiple different compounds to make playdough. Includes easy and advanced practice problems (with answers) and teacher background knowledge. Basic easy ingredients are

Students create a scale model representing earth's history in order to analyze how life has changed on earth over time.

Students use an interactive map and ArcGIS software to analyze the impacts of climate change on global populations.

In this lesson, students explore the foundational concepts of electricity, delving into Ohm's Law and the principles of electric power. Through a series of engaging theoretical and practical exercises

Lesson explores compounds, mixtures and solutions, defining each and what distinguishes them from each other. Students complete a lab as an introduction, use a PowerPoint to refine their knowledge and

Students measure the temperature of water as it cools to learn about heat transfer and thermal properties while using line of best fit, linear regressions and/or quadratic regressions.

Inspired by the picture book, "Count on Me," Kindergarten students will demonstrate the Engineering Design Process by collaboratively creating a model of a new toy for their playground, observing the

A lesson to teach students how to collect, organize, interpret data, make inferences, raise awareness, and suggest possible solutions on the water quality of the waterbodies in the state of Arizona.

This lesson plan will equip the students with the basic understanding of the forms of electromagnetic waves. It also includes a hands-on activity on assessing EMF radiation levels in classrooms that

Description: In this engaging lesson, students dive into the fascinating world of bone anatomy by creating styrofoam models of bones and simulating fractures. Through hands-on activities, students use

This is the second lesson in a series of four lessons on building a robotic rover with the BBC micro:bit. In this lesson, students will design, model, and 3D print brackets for a TT motor to find the

The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and

This is the first of a series of lessons where students will build a robotic rover using the BBC micro:bit. In this lesson, students will determine the proper diameter for M3 bolts by making test

In this lesson, Kindergarten students create a program that will teach their robot how to solve a simple addition problem. This lesson reviews prior learning students have already received regarding

This is the first lesson in a series of four that are designed to help guide students to design and implement their own independent STEM research project.
