STEM Lesson Plans

Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare

This is a culminating project for the end of a Space Science unit. Students will each research a unique star, then work in a group to research the constellation of their star. In groups, students will

The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.

The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density

In this activity, students will complete a Web Quest to find the diameter of the Earth, Moon, and Sun AND will observe how the Earth orbits around the Sun and how the moon rotates around the Earth by

In this lesson, students will construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. There is a story integration

This lesson is designed to create a 3D model and circle graph that will represent where water in different parts of the hydrosphere is located. The purpose is to get students thinking and problem

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for

Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while

You've crash-landed on an alien planet and must find a way to survive with the help of native flora and fauna. Students will document alien life-forms in a field journal and use that information to

For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype

Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a

Students explore the solar system by conducting research and display their knowledge through creative writing and poetry.

How is Res going to collect samples from Mars? Can you use Edison to design a collector that can help Res collect Mars samples? In this lesson students will use Edison to design a sample collector

Students will use known geographical features to identify landforms on images from the Mars Orbital Reconnaissance Satellite.

Students explore the solar system and space concepts (including microgravity, eclipses, etc.) using technology. Student choice is given with a choice board.

The "Virtual Reality (VR) Exploration: Building a 3D Solar System" lesson is an exciting and immersive STEM experience designed for 8th-grade students. In this lesson, students delve into the world of

NASA needs Resilience to take pictures to send back to Earth for observation. Resilience needs a cell phone holder that can take pictures or videos from multiple views. Can you use Edison to design a

This lesson give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical

When Res lands on Mars she will encounter various terrain that she must navigate successfully. Can you create wheels that will help navigate her through the terrain? This is part one of a four part

This lesson allows the students to experience the life of an interior designer. The students will be tasked to use their knowledge on area and perimeter as they design a layout for their own classroom

An integrated fourth grade math and geography lesson. This lesson is aligned to the ADE/NGSS Cross Cutting Concept of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity. The fourth grade social studies/geography

After learning about Ancient Egypt, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Egyptian Pyramid Prototype. Each group will be challenged to build a 4-sided pyramid that
