STEM Lesson Plans

The math and research of hot cocoa. Students will find or use a teacher provided hot cocoa recipe and practice working with fractions to increase or decrease the recipe yield.

This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to

In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and

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 will be divided into 6 groups, one for each of the major systems in the human body, and create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.

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

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

This lesson is focused on solidifying the definition of percent while students collaborate, implement a variety of tools to solve problems involving percentages. Mathematical practices are embedded

Students will use multiplication and will measure the area of a lot. This lesson plan uses the standards in science about plants, its size and structure. The leaf size is the focus of this lesson in

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

This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 3. In this 8-week project, 6th-grade students will collaborate in small groups to create eco-friendly inventions that aim to reduce their carbon footprints and

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 plan has a focus on drawing/creating a scaled drawing and 3D model of our nation's busiest airport airspaces. This hands-on lesson allows students to explore 3D modeling and the topic of

In this lesson, students will learn about rate through their lettuce seeds in our hydroponic machine. Students use an Excel spreadsheet to document their findings.

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 engaging lesson, students complete 2 labs to investigate and analyze how the force of gravity impacts objects. The lesson is formatted for Argument Driven Inquiry design, which means it starts

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

In this hands-on lesson, students use making lemonade to practice lab procedures, measurement and ratios as well as learning about temperatures affecting saturation points.
