STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson demonstrates how you can build a safe with a programmable code to keep your lunch money safe. This is an important technology lesson where the focus is not only on the coding and problem

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

The purpose of this lesson is to explore with students the mining process and the potential impacts humans have on ecosystems and their populations. Once completed students should have a deeper

In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed

Around two thousand years ago, weighing an elephant without advanced equipment posed a challenging problem. However, a clever solution was devised by a seven-year-old named Cao Cong. He ingeniously

In this set of hands-on labs, students will explore friction and the effects of different types of surfaces on motion. They will have a chance to test motion with cars as well as create hover board

In this engaging lesson, students will construct a small experiment demonstrating the relationship of momentum with mass, and velocity, then record that data. Students will take the data and create a

In this lesson students will show the proportion of freshwater compared to saltwater on Earth. Students will define the problem of having a limited amount of fresh water using evidence gathered from

Stop motion is a great way for students to slow down working through the steps in math to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts. Students can film a short story or step-by-step instructions

This hands-on lesson is geared towards an introduction to engineering and electronics in creating a simple nanobot from cardboard, a coin battery, and vibrating motor. Students use the engineering

This lesson uses the children’s book The Seed and the Giant Saguaro to teach about plant and wildlife habitat in the Sonoran Desert. It includes story reading, discussion, a field experience, writing

Students will establish teams and use STEM skills to create models of a Phobos Base that fits in an imaginary 80cm cube and sits on a 1-meter project base. It includes facilities, rocket landing site

Students will learn about balanced vs unbalanced forces by trying to rescue bears from the "Lava" (the table) using certain given supplies.

In this lesson, students will experiment with unseen forces and their effect on motion. Students will build a LEGO land sailing car that will be powered by wind produced from a fan. Students will

In this engaging lesson, students study and design a healthy fish tank with a variety of animals. Students also learn about budgeting costs.

In this hands-on lesson, students use making lemonade to practice lab procedures, measurement and ratios as well as learning about temperatures affecting saturation points.

Students will use the materials provided to engineer a vehicle that is powered by a robot and deliver a treat to a chosen location. Students will use the robots you have. I use Sphero and Edison
