STEM Lesson Plans

This is the first of two lessons. The focus is to engage students in the hands-on activity of growing corn in water and study the germination process. Students will discuss and learn about the

Students will go through the engineering design process to come up with a product that will solve a real life problem. By the end of the unit, students will design their product, make their product

Students will research, design and build a treehouse using the engineering design process. They will practice budgeting by pretending to have $100 to spend by using a supply budget sheet. Students

This lesson is an introduction to Micro:bit. Students will learn parts of the device, as well as how to program and download a simple dice randomizer. Once the program is downloaded to the microbit

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "Up in the Garden and Down by the Dirt" by Kate Messner, students will learn about all the elements that make up a garden. Students will also plant a seed into a

Students will become a DESIGN TEAM. The team will be using the 4 C’s and the steps of the Design Process to produce an item for a chosen client. Students will focus on empathy to decide on components

In this engaging lesson, students will learn about genetics and create their own characters in which they will find a mate and create an offspring. They will use traits and Punnett Squares to create

Students will learn about engineering design and redesign. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to plan and design a boat structure. They will build a clay and paper

Students will learn about engineering design and redesign a water delivery systems.

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.

In this hands-on lesson, students collaborate with partners to create a game in which they practice their multiplication and division facts. This is an engaging way for students to develop fact

In this set of lesson plans for "A Song for a Whale" by Lynne Kelly, students will investigate compasses and whale migration. The final project for the novel is a choice board of activities that

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

Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is

Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about
