STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is a four-day unit lesson that highlights the understanding of the climate, geography, trends in the change of temperature, and the related changes in precipitation in the state. This

Students go to four different stations to observe how pressure, temperature, and volume interact to affect the behavior of gases. They will also utilize math skills for some of the stations in this

Students will grow two plants, one control and one with a manipulated independent variable. Throughout the time the plant grows students will monitor the plants and make observations. They will also

Want to incorporate the Arts into your 7-12 STEM classroom? The Global Science Opera provides a way to do just that! Learn how to facilitate a STEAM collaboration with arts teachers to make it happen.

The students in this lab activity will play a competitive game with a small bouncy ball. The students will analyze the motion of the ball and apply projectile motion concepts. This activity requires

In this lesson students will collect data on the performance of their drone. Students will design a systematic process of data collection that will then lead to the development of a predictive model

In this engaging lesson, students will use an online planetarium and participate in a kinesthetic model activity in order to develop and revise a model explaining the apparent motion of the stars in

This is an introduction to exoplanets and their discovery. In the hands-on activity, students make a lightcurve for an exoplanet transit using data from the DIY MicroObservatory Telescope Network.

In this lesson, students physically manipulate a couple of springs and then collect data from a spring force Phet simulator. Next, they graph the data, calculate the area under the curve of their

Get the athletic shoes ready! Students calculate their own physical power output by walking, and then hustling/running, up a flight of stairs in this engaging lesson. The change in potential energy

In this engaging lesson, students will use Sphero robots and a Solar System map to learn intermediate level solar system geography. Students program the robots to move from one location on the map to

Students will explore the concepts of sound and rhythm through a STEM-focused lesson plan that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with music. Students will engage in hands-on

Students read the story "Just a Second" to introduce students to geologic time. Next, they are given an activity to understand how long is 4.6 billion years. Then students complete a lab that allows

Students will explore mathematical rules for combining fractions with unlike denominators by modeling equivalent resistance calculations for resistors wired in parallel electrical circuits. Using a

In this 3 day lesson plan, students will discover the relationships between the sun, earth, moon, solar/lunar eclipses and the tides.

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.

This lesson is an introduction to the sun’s energy. It is mainly an opportunity for students to explore resources and their environment independently or with partners. This allows students to

Get ready to engage with some hands-on activities that will illustrate the mechanics of calculating both kinetic and potential energy and unravel the equations for these essential parts of physics.

In this lesson students model a fast change to Earth's surface by creating a landslide and a slow change to Earth's surface by simulating coastal erosion.

The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn
