STEM Lesson Plans

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 lesson, students construct a paper model of CRISPR and work on focus questions to understand how CRISPR works. They will go through the motions of gene replacement so they can see what happens

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 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

This lesson will show students that genetic traits come from a lot of different places, and we are all different but still made of the same things. It will use real-time data collection to present

Do the colors of our world attract sunlight differently? In this lesson, students will use color and temperature to test and graph answers to this question. Provided are certain links to read

In this lesson students model the process of speciation using Skittles. As they work through the story, students see how changing geography can change the traits in a species and how over time these

Students will establish teams and use STEM skills to create models of a Phobos Base that fits in an imaginary 80cm cube and sits on a 1-meter project base. It includes facilities, rocket landing site

This is part 2 of a Heredity lesson. In this portion of the lesson the students will work in collaborative pairs to mate the dragons the created in part 1. Furthermore, they will create Punnett

In part 1 of this lesson, students will use the laws of heredity to create a dragon based on the random toss of a coin. A chart has been created to assign genotypes and the corresponding phenotypes

Students are given a mission to map and collect resources with a robot needed in a Mars colony. Students need to use coordinate points to create a route from a starting point to a destination for

This week-long experience teaches students about the computer science and robotics behind NASA's Mars Rover program using Ozobots as Mars Rovers. Students will first build background on the history of

This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or

In this hands-on lesson, students research the solar system. Then, they work in groups to create a solar system model and present it to the class.

This lesson is about geometric shapes. Student will watch videos about the solar system. They will view the geometric shapes in the solar system and draw pictures of them.

In this lesson, students will learn about planets and stars and their relationship with each other. They will create a planet or star and then, as a group, create a song to present to the class.

Through the use of the Read Aloud, "Up in the Garden and Down by the Dirt" by Kate Messner, students will learn about all the elements that make up a garden. Students will also plant a seed into a

Students learn about celestial and transitory objects in the sky while creating a piece of art depicting a constellation. The constellation can be seen during the day by holding it up. It helps

This is lesson 4 of the Life Science Unit. Students will evaluate and identify how the features of a young animal offspring and parent are similar (not identical) and different. They will code the

Students will explore the field of astrobiology and the possibility of life on Mars through research, critical thinking, and hands-on activities. Students will design and create a model Martian

This lesson expands upon ASU's Ask a Biologist "Monster Manual" Activity to include CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Students learn about DNA and how we inherit traits through an analogy of decoding a

In this lesson students will learn about water filtration and how to filter simulated Martian water. Students will build water filters and use the engineering design process. This is the 2nd lesson in
