STEM Lesson Plans

This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.

This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.

Students will use a kid friendly online CAD modeling program to create a car design. Students will then carve their car using floral wet foam, wheels and axels to race in the derby.

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic

In this lesson your second grade students will create a sun dial and track the movement of the sun in the sky and shadows on the ground. This lesson incorporates student objectives of reading and

In this lesson the students will explore the formation of rocks as the result of the flow of energy and cycling of matter within Earth.

In this lesson the students will learn to identify some common household substances whether it is acid or base using red cabbage juice.

Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic

Wildfires are a huge issue in Arizona during the dry season as there is plenty of dry fuel and very little water. Once an area has been devastated by fire, it is further destroyed by summer monsoons

This lesson will take your students through the process of making a lunar phases flipbook. When flipped it will be animated and look like the moon going through each phase. Students will learn the

Introduction to VR, AR, and MR technologies that could change the way we work, teach, entertain, vacation, and socially interact. This lesson starts bringing students up to speed on the current state

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

Students will use the internet to collect data on a given State (or place) for 5 days. They will then make predictions on the weather and how to keep people in that community safe. They will then

This lesson, adapted from NOAA, focuses on tides. Students pretend to be a ship captain delivering materials to a construction company. However, their ship must go under a bridge. Students must find

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

This is the last part of the evidence of the Big Bang Theory. Students will learn of nucleosynthesis and the products of the big bang. They will watch videos and engage in activities that model the

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

This lesson is part two of evidence of the big bang theory. Students investigate red shift and blue shift and how it supports the expansion of the universe. They will complete an online simulation

Students design and build air powered gliders in this engaging lesson. This is a fun way to teach and apply principles of force as they apply to flight including lift, gravity, thrust, and drag

Students will ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.

This lesson introduces the big bang. Provides exploration into cosmic background radiation and expansion of the universe. It also introduces red shift.

The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular
