STEM Lesson Plans

Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be

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

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

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

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

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct an improvised clinometer which they can use in estimating height of trees, flagpoles and the like! They will collaborate in drawing, measuring

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

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.

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards : HS.P3U2.7 Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to

This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are

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

In this lesson there is an emphasis on explaining how magnets have a force that can move other objects at a distance. Students will first watch a video in which they will be amazed by some magnetic

In this fun lesson, students will develop a simple sketch and a physical model of a float to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. They will then

In this hands-on lesson, students design a safety device (car/seatbelt) that can keep an egg (passenger) safe during a collision. The goal is to protect the egg from cracking during a roll down a ramp

This lesson is about building and testing a Ferris Wheel and the history behind it. Students should be familiar with the concepts of forces, motion, and gravity before starting this project. They

In this hands-on lesson, students will work together to build a system where energy is transferred between objects for as long as possible (i.e. Newton’s Cradle). Students continue the work that began

In this hands-on lesson, students learn how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones, there is a discussion about preparing

A mixture of 5E lessons on Nearpod and an accompanying hands-on activity to help students see that gravity works at a distance and is affected by mass. Students will be writing a conclusion based on

This is part one of a design challenge where students are asked to brainstorm a device that allows energy to be transferred for as long as possible, similar to a Newton's Cradle. Students use the

This is the first lesson in a series of 4. Students gain an understanding of the forces that are acting upon a drone when it is flying. They will learn about how thrust, weight, lift and drag work
