STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

This lesson plan is about the phases of the moon. It can be used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. This is a hands-on activity that would help students explore the explanations about the movement

First students will learn what engineers do and a few different strategies they might use to build strong buildings. Students will create a structure of any shape using given materials to withhold two

The lesson introduces Boolean operations as a tool for searching and then relates the effect of the Boolean operator to the similar effect in Boolean logic as a means to introduce Boolean logic and

To demonstrate their understanding of how energy is passed throughout an ecosystem and the symbiotic relationships of organisms within an ecosystem, students construct a food web marble run. This

In this interactive lesson, students will create a Duplo Lego Vehicle and test how forces affect motion. Students will be placed in groups of 3-4 and be given a force to test. They will decide which

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationships for Circular Motion for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment, collect data

This lesson is 3 of 4 of a unit about habitats and animal adaptations. In this project, students will build a model of a habitat and an animal they created in lesson 2. The animal will need to have

This lesson plan will help students appreciate the concept of volume. Students will measure the dimensions of the real-life prisms given to them then calculate its volume using the formula given

This is a two day lesson plan where the first day a local accountant will come and present about investments and their exponential properties, followed by a small activity to help make the nature of

Over 2 days (60 min or more each day), students create a catapult out of jumbo popsicle sticks, a water bottle cap and rubber bands. The challenge is for students to launch their snowball (cotton ball

Students will learn how to bring their images to life by coding movement and will use math skills.

Explore scientific notation by traveling through the universe. Students will try to place objects in the universe in order from smallest to largest by using pictures, names and numbers in scientific

In this lesson, students will create a model of the solar system by shrinking the dimensions of the distances. Students will read an informational text about the features of the planets and view a

This 90-minute lesson is focused on ELA with integration on Science and Engineering. The lesson will discuss about Ecology for Kids which target skill is getting the main idea and supporting details

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

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 lesson, students will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe. They will identify differences between biomes and collaborate with peers to gather environmental science data

This is Task 2 (Lesson 2) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room.” Students will be constructing Pangea with their group after reviewing the concepts.

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationship commonly known as Newton's 2nd Law for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment

This lesson is designed to explicitly teach ideas about the nature of science. It contains no specific scientific content knowledge. This means that students can learn about the nature of science

This lesson plan focuses around 4 key topics, with activities for each. The plan covers renewable energy, solar energy, why solar energy is important, and what the children can do to conserve energy

In this lesson, students will watch seeds grow on a damp sponge by measuring, journaling and observing. They will observe how the roots and shoots grow.

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
