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 the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

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

Students will be working cooperatively to explore wind energy and electricity by engineering wind turbine blades.

This lesson is part of a school-wide project to renovate a greenhouse and create a native seed library. This lesson is intended to create intrinsic motivation to engage in the project. This lesson

Environmental Masters of Disaster Team (groups of 3-5 students) will choose an man-made environmental disaster, analyze its effects, then engineer a method or prototype to solve the problem.

In this fun lesson, students create models of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets that can go on robots. They experiment with light and movement to demonstrate the rotation of sun, earth, and moon using

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

Students will begin to construct their containers for their eggs. Students will work together to build their egg protector container using the materials they brought in and that were provided for them

Students will measure the height, diameter, and circumference of a tree in this engaging lesson. They will then determine a tree’s age by counting growth rings. Students will determine how rainfall

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 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

In this 1-day lesson, students are challenged to collaborate with their teams to create a plan and use PVC halves to transport 1 golf ball 75 feet without touching the ball or allowing the ball to

In this lesson, students will show how heat transfers into an egg during the hard-boiling process, and additionally, different methods of how heat can transfer out of an egg during the cooling process

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 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 hands-on lesson has students create a barometer using a jar, balloon, stir stick and tape. They collect data over a span of time and graph it to understand how a barometer works and how it

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a paper windmill. They put it to the test by using a fan to see how their fan holds up to the wind. This is a great way to cover science, engineering

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 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

Can a water fountain be solar powered? YES! In this engaging lesson, students will engineer a solar powered water fountain to show how energy transformed and transferred throughout their system. Each

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.

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Students will explore the different types of grow mediums and grow lights used in the systems
