STEM Lesson Plans

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

Day 4 of a 4 day unit (with an optional day 5) on hydroponics, urban farming and vertical farming. Students will learn about hydroponics used on the International Space Station and vertical farming

Day 2 of a 4 day unit (with an optional day 5) on hydroponics, urban farming and vertical farming. Students will learn about hydroponics used on the International Space Station and vertical farming

Day 1 of a 4 day unit (with an optional day 5) on hydroponics, urban farming and vertical farming. Students will learn about hydroponics used on the International Space Station and vertical farming

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

Coding a robot to solve a math problem has made math even more fun! In this lesson, students will work with a partner to write a code that will enable the robot of their choice to successfully solve

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.

This lesson is designed to review key biology concepts with 9-10th grade students using hands-on activities with LEGO bricks. I usually implement this a week before our Final exams. Students will

This lesson combines math, science and art in a sparkling and engaging activity. Student will learn about rock classifications and draw an example using geometry. Students will gain an understanding

This lesson is intended to be the second lesson within a series. After the first lesson, exploring the transfer of power within a system, Students utilize this lesson, lesson 2, to explain how and

This is a great opportunity to show students that coding can be a lot of fun, and it doesn’t have to be scary. Many high school students with little to no prior coding experience often automatically

This lesson introduces the students to what are antibiotics, how they work, and why they are important. At the same time, it also talks about how an organism becomes antibiotic resistant. The students

This 45-minute lesson uses the book, "How to Catch an Elf", to lead into a cooperative engineering design lesson where students work in teams to build a humane trap to capture an elf.

In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.

Students have the opportunity explore different materials that use nanotechnology and then discuss the key differences between macroscale and nanoscale impacts on those materials.

This lesson uses a PhET Simulation to allow students to collect data on the orbits of planets around our Sun, then summarize and share their results. It is designed for students in Grades 9-12.

Students are introduced to the concept of nanotechnology with a small group research activity about the different industries using nanotechnology.

Students will explore beginning coding thru binary coding and creating a name bracelet.

Part one of a four part project exploring the movement of the brain upon impact in everyday activities. This lesson uses Pocketlab Voyager sensors to analyze brain movement in high impact activities

The students construct and interpret an HR Diagram to better understand the significance and usefulness of the diagram.

This is a high-school level hands-on project that allows students to build their own working sundial, make predictions and assess their accuracy. This lesson ties in with the study of Kepler's Laws.
