STEM Lesson Plans

Students will be learning about the life cycle of a potato, how to grow potatoes, and measuring the growth of the stems. You'll need potatoes that are ready to plant, garden space, or tubs to put the

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.

In this engaging lesson, students will summarize the environmental impact of obtaining and using fossil fuels and recommend solutions for reducing use of fossil fuels. Students use chocolate chip

Students will grow to understand what decomposition is and why it is a vital part to their compost bins success.

Students will create an original design using only plastic bags in this creative lesson. They will reuse plastic bags to create a useful product they could sell. Students will use evidence to

This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. Students will use Flipgrid to share, but you could use any other video app

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 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.

In this kindergarten lesson we'll be learning all about bats and why they're important to our environment. Students will create a bat out of ripped up pieces of paper and will fill in a bat template

Students will use SEEK or other species identification tools to create a database of biodiversity on campus. The lesson starts with a discussion of the importance of biodiversity to the functioning of

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, students create a brand new species of animal! Designed to be an end-of-unit activity after students have learned about different environments and animal adaptations, students will

Students will conduct a lab activity to gather information about how the heart rate can be affected by rest and by exercising. They will learn how to calculate their own target heart rates using a

When studying Life Science, students are very curious to watch animals and plants growing. In this lesson, students observe growth of baby guppies in fish tanks, understanding life cycles and growing

This lesson allows students to construct a cell model in a fun and engaging way using edible materials such as cereals and candies. This will help students remember how to differentiate plant cells

This STEM activity is designed to be used with an animal habitat lesson. Students will create a UV animal using color changing UV beads and design a shelter to protect the animal from harmful UV light

In this lesson students will use simulations to collect data about changes in specific traits of a population over time. Students will then use the data create graphical models to explain natural

This is a third grade lesson focused on structure and function. In the lesson, students observe, investigate, and research chickens to create a model focused on the parts of a chicken and their

Students explore the world of the lesser long-nosed bat through a self-paced hyperdoc. This unassuming bat is responsible for pollinating some the most magnificent desert cacti. It faced extinction in

Students will be working with creating series and parallel circuits. Students will gain an understanding of the components used to create circuits and how circuits function in our everyday lives.

This lesson is going to be designed to teach third graders about the plant cells and anatomy. The lesson is based on an overview of the plant cells and an interactive experience for students to

This lesson is designed to allow students the experience to move from an additive understanding in mathematics to a multiplicative understanding through this activity called Cootie Catcher. The

In this lesson students will discuss how contact forces cause energy to be transferred and objects to move. They will learn that sound waves involve contact forces. Students will consider how contact

It's time to lay down roots in this hands-on lesson! Students will construct a model of plant roots using Play-Doh. They will explain the different parts of a plant and the different roles the parts
