STEM Lesson Plans

Students construct models of various molecules, create histograms of the frequency of elements, and diagram parts of an atom. Students will deepen their understanding of matter--that tiny particles

In this unit, students will study the effects of air pollution and engineer an environmentally friendly air filter to reduce pollutants in the air using common household items and recycled materials

This lesson introduces the first law of motion to students through inquiry and total physical response. Materials needed are Short videos of first-law examples, with no labels or explanations

Students will be able to observe and recognize that a thermometer is a device that is used to measure a change in temperature.

In this lesson, students will create and test multiple helicopters to create a helicopter that lands the slowest in a given target. Students will take their best design and share with the class.

Summary - Students will be identifying the structures and functions of plant reproductive parts. Materials - Flowers, scissors, magnifying lenses, resource materials (internet/textbook)

Summary- Students will redesign their egg protector for trial 2, record their observations, and respond to overall reflection questions for the project. Materials- Science Notebook Pencil/Pen

This lesson took place in a 90 minute after school STEM club (could work in 2 - 45 minute class periods). Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on sample collection and analytical

Students (over 2-3 days) use BricQ parts and pieces to create a lab to test how mass affects the distance a Lego piece will travel. This hands-on lesson was designed to introduce Newton’s law #2

List of Materials- Science Notebook, Pencil/Pen, Reflection Questions Summary- Students are reflection and revising their egg drop protectors from the previous lesson. Agenda- Reflect on the first egg

Who said candy?! In this hands-on lesson, students create rock candy using hot water and Kool-Aid flavoring. They will mix materials together and observe their creation.

This is a lesson plan based on playlist model where students will learn Heat transfer by using a play list and picking the topics according to their own pace. The students will need a computer/ laptop

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

Students will be creating their own testing station for sound waves! Each group will get 5 glasses and will put a different amount of water in each of the glasses. Then the students will tap the glass

Students will better understand gas, liquid, and solid states of matter through hands-on learning stations and a create-a-toy design challenge.

This is a CSI lesson where students solve mystery on Physical and Chemical change. This is an engaging way as students will conduct an investigation like a real crime investigator.

Students will learn basic concepts of physics, including velocity, motion, and vector. S tudents will develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance. Finally students will

• Student teams will work together in small groups to identify important story elements in a familiar story, then develop a plot diagram using Bee-Bots. • In a small group, students will use code to

In this creative lesson, students explore states of matter as they fuse glass. During this process, students are actively engaged as they design an art piece, work on measurements, and collaborate

In this engaging lesson, students explore the forces of flight and use the Engineering Design Process to improve the flight times and distance traveled with a paper airplane. Resources are included

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and build a controlled-release tablet, which will be made from different colored bath tablets and a variety of water-soluble plastics. First, they

In this engaging lesson, students work together to design a water filtration system to separate pollutants from water. This lesson takes about 120 minutes to complete. Various resources are included!

This lesson plan includes activities for a full unit on Fission and Fusion, which are included in our state science standards. Students will create models of fusion and fission using a free online

This is Task 4 (Lesson 4) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room." Students will construct a marshmallow device to propel marshmallows at force and collect
