STEM Lesson Plans

Students will learn about hibernation and adapting to the winter cold. They will build shelters with different insulating materials so that their animals do not get cold. They will then do a gallery

Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using one of six different flours provided. This lesson is the first of three lessons that takes

What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate

In this lesson, students will learn about and discuss the life cycle of a butterfly. They will then get 10 shapes total from the teacher (circles and squares). They will use their math skills to make

Just like many things we do in our lives, pumpkin growth and coding follow a pattern. Students will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and fill in a practice page that talks about the pumpkin's life

On Day 3, students take their journey to the next level. After gaining insights into plant life cycles and the crucial role of pollinators in the first two days, they now get hands-on and creative. In

Day 2 of this lesson plan for 1st-grade students plays a crucial role in bridging theoretical understanding with hands-on experience. It deepens students' knowledge of pollination, emphasizing the
