STEM Lesson Plans

Explore Coal Mine Canyon's wonders! Watch a documentary, read about geology, draw the canyon, and use tech to learn about geological layers. Fun, interactive learning awaits!

Students will be able to obtain, evaluate, and communicate evidence about how natural and human-caused changes to habitats or climate can impact populations. Additionally, they will be able to

This lesson plan has three main objectives. The first is that students will be able to recreate a map of the canal with 3D structures along the way. The largest structure being Casa Grande, or the

This is a multi-day lesson on the lifecycle of a pumpkin starting with how long it takes for pumpkin seeds to produce a sprout. There is also an art element using geometric shapes to introduce the

In this project, students will create a professional blueprint of their real-life home. Students will then do research to find at least ten places in the home that impact the environment (positive or

I use this lesson as a fun activity to visualize unit conversions and the immense scale of the universe. I love this lesson because I find it challenging to teach unit conversions with hands-on

Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process to create a Valentine's Day mailbox to collect Valentine cards in the classroom. Designs will include a theme, geometry examples (angles

Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process Steps to design the bedroom of their dreams in this engaging lesson. Students will use mathematics (perimeter, measurement, area) when

In this lesson, students explore geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. They apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. This gives students an

A coding activity for the STEM teacher that has to participate in Literacy Night at school! This activity/lesson will introduce students to coding as a fundamental element of literacy and ties in well

Students will focus sunlight through a pinhole onto a sheet of paper. Knowing the distance between the projection and the pinhole allows students to calculate the diameter of the Sun using ratios.

In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance

For this lesson students will be exploring/applying the concept of equations of circles. The teacher will place a giant graph in the room and students will make a circular art design to put on the

Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also

Welcome to Robot Relays, Part 2! In this engaging lesson, students program and maneuver Edison Robots through student-made relay courses. This is the 2nd lesson is a series of 2.

This lesson plan aims to incorporate Science, Engineering, and Math subjects into the Digital Book Project. Students paraphrase in simple words the explanations of chemical reactions in everyday life

In this lesson, students will explore the option of making paper from weeds, leaves and other such plant matter while deciding if this could be a solution to reduce deforestation. This is an important

Problem - Solution is a type of text structure. The objective of this lesson is for students to further understand defining problems and identifying solutions. Students will make a 3D model using

In this hands-on lesson, students will use area and perimeter to plan and design an environmentally sustainable hole for a golf course. Students learn the history of golf and research sustainable

In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy

This hands-on lesson shows how you can use LEGOs (Spike Prime kits) and coding to demonstrate how gravity works and what can be done to counter the gravitational pull.

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed

Third grade students will apply their knowledge of the significance of bee pollination by designing and creating a Wild Bee Hotel in a collaborative group which will incorporate literacy, mathematical
