STEM Lesson Plans

Students recreate a unique Operation board game with a circuit that lights with an LED and buzzes with a piezo. Students use the Engineering Design Process to plan and document their process. Students

This lesson uses knowledge gained in parts 1 and 2 of this lesson. This lesson can be done independently if you do not have the other materials. Students will use many types of Snap Circuit sets to

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

Using the Binary alphabet, students will create secret messages that may be found on Valentine's candy hearts.

This lesson will explore the idea of circuits as the students wire the components of a together to create a working wobble-bot.

This lesson is part four of four lessons, which culminates in the flight of drones built by the students. Lesson 4: FLY focuses on the controller pairing and functions, troubleshooting possible

In this lesson, students will combine the fields of coding and robotics with music to program an Ozobot to "sing" a familiar song. Students will learn about music concepts such as notes and octaves

Using the Engineering Design Process, students work in teams to create a covered wagon that the Bee-Bot pulls as they program on a mat from Missouri to Oregon. Students are learning about the Western

The lesson is designed for use as part of a unit on energy transfer within a system. Before doing this lesson, students should have a basic understanding of potential and kinetic energy. Students will

This lesson helps kids have an understanding of how our eyes capture light. A camera captures pictures of objects using a similar way so in this experiment, kids will be making a camera using simple

In this lesson, s tudents will learn the main characteristics of the 5 classes of vertebrate animals: mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles. S tudent groups will then collaborate to design an

This lesson explains how I organized and set up for a robotics camp I hosted in June 2023. It talks about the preplanning that was involved and how I planned for ten days of activities.

In the final part of A Light in the Dark (pt. 3 of 3), students create their solution to the problem based on their chosen theme. Students present their final solutions to be evaluated.

In this continuation of A Light in the Dark (pt. 2 of 3), students research their questions and consolidate their learning, then determine their next steps in the process to solve the problem.

This lesson introduces the unit exploring light pollution and possible solutions students can create. Students will explore what light pollution is. Students will determine next steps in the process.

This lesson intends to expand the student's knowledge of electricity through an exciting hands-on experiment. "The Amazing Power of Fruits allows the students to collaborate as a team and demonstrate

This lesson is a STEM performance task after the students learn how solar power and solar panels work. Students draw attention to solar energy, as it is not only helpful with our power systems but can

Students will engineer their very own LEGO planter by using LEGOs and LEGO bases! This fun and engaging lesson incorporates science and math with the world of LEGOs. Students first listen to a story

Students will learn about the history of the National Parks Service and the different biomes and environments within the United States. Then, they will choose a National Park to research and present a

In this lesson, students will understand the basic functions and components of an Edison robot. They will collaborate with peers to demonstrate basic programming concepts by providing simple commands

Students will understand the concept and properties of buoyancy and density, through a hands-on exploration with the Lakeshore Design and Play STEAM Kit Boats by assembling boats using a foam hull

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

It's 3D printing time! In this lesson, students will design a creation all on their own and input their design into a 3D printing program. They will then print their creations and become a maker!

Are you ready to learn about volcanoes?! In this engaging lesson, students will identify the most common types of volcanoes, analyze how volcanoes are formed, share with groups to compare design ideas
