STEM Lesson Plans

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

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 hands-on lesson uses vermicomposting to apply virtually all of the science & engineering practices as well as several in math. Enough for a unit but a few stand-alone pieces can help your

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

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

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

This lesson is about Mars and Martian water. It introduces students to the geography of Mars and the various ices found on Mars. This is the 1st lesson in a 2-part series.

In this engaging lesson, students are given data and are required to graph the data, analyze the data to determine the carrying capacity of four different organisms.

This 2-Day STEM lesson takes place in a science classroom after students have explored the sun and solar system (including our planet, the moon, and asteroids), and is intended to focus on

What are we learning? We are learning about the history of the Mars Rover program and how scientists had to work together to solve problems and make sure the rover landed safely on the Red Planet. We

In this engaging lesson, students will learn about genetics and create their own characters in which they will find a mate and create an offspring. They will use traits and Punnett Squares to create

In this five days lesson plan or a class project, I used a picture book, "Seeds of Change: Exploring Wangari Maathai's Tree-Planting Efforts". This lesson plan is great for 6th -8th-grade students. In

As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.

A kindergarten lesson focused on helping students ask questions about the stars, the moon, and the sun and how they move in the night sky. Students will participate in a read aloud, begin a KWL chart

This lesson is from Arizona Game and Fish Department. The lesson has students look at data on elk-vehicle collisions on State Route 260. The road is being widened to a two-lane divided road with elk

In this lesson, students will observe the geometry of lunar and solar eclipses by creating a physical, proportional model of the Earth and Moon system and observing shadows.
