STEM Lesson Plans

Students learn about the chemistry that exists in some of the world's oldest surviving paintings. This lesson is the final part of a 3 part painting series, and focuses on binding agents in paint

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.

In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and

This STEM project allowed students to embark on an exciting journey of entrepreneurship with "Ride to Success." In this immersive STEM lesson plan, students will not only learn the ins and outs of

This lesson plan is a continuation of Part 1 (link to Part 1 is included). In this lesson, students will apply what they've learned from deconstructing boxes, and they will design their own unique

In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson

This is the 4th and final part of a 4-part series that allows students to communicate what they've learned through using the engineering design process to develop new vision technology. Links to all

An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations

The Challenge: Design and build a piece of furniture out of cardboard! In this engaging and creative lesson, students embark on a design challenge with criteria and constraints. Students develop an

This lesson plan will allow students to explore the use of a PhET simulation in creating a series and parallel circuit, then apply this knowledge in creating a real circuit. Students will also learn

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.
