STEM Lesson Plans

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

Students will redesign the front face of the school, to improve the curb appeal. Students will identify space by using math equations to properly create a plan for school makeover. Students will use

In this hands-on lesson, students will demonstrate their understanding of robotics and coding by creating a course for their robot to move on. The course will include turns, circles and straight ways.

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

This STEM project allowed students to embark on an exciting journey of entrepreneurship with "Ride to Success." In this immersive STEM lesson plan, students will not only learn the ins and outs of

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

In this engaging lesson, students will model a standing transverse wave using a slinky and collect measurements to find the amplitude, wavelength, and frequency of their wave in order to calculate the

In this hands-on lesson, students will model transfer of kinetic energy by preparing and measuring the temperature of two equal quantities of water, before mixing them together and then measuring the

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

Students will predictions about what will happen when two objects collide and compare hypotheses to observations. Also, students will compare what happens when objects made of different materials

Nothing in space stands still. Everything either orbits around something else, or moves toward or away from something else. So how do space engineers aim a spacecraft so it lands on Mars or meets up

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.

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

In this engaging lesson, students will design and build a Mars Resource Transport (basically a wagon) on wheels and axles. They have to meet build criteria based on volume and a budget for resources

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

Students will become a DESIGN TEAM. The team will be using the 4 C’s and the steps of the Design Process to produce an item for a chosen client. Students will focus on empathy to decide on components

This hands-on lesson is designed for kindergarten students. It integrates literature and Math into STEM. The lesson calls for a read out loud where RL and SL standards are aligned. Math standards are

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
