STEM Lesson Plans

This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening

This lesson introduces the big bang. Provides exploration into cosmic background radiation and expansion of the universe. It also introduces red shift.

What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee or another pollinator flies from flower to flower? Why is pollination important? How

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

Students will create 3D Models of a water form. Learners will record a photo of their model, write and type or record information about their model via iPad or tablet. Students will record a learning

This lesson explores how cars can be designed to ensure the safety of children passengers. Through a read- aloud, the students will see how a young child was able to design a car in the story "If I

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.

The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be

This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons

Students use a constant velocity, battery powered vehicle to determine the relationship between position and time. They use their results to determine the formula for speed (change in position/time).

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Notes Prerequisites: This lesson requires prior experience with Edison Robots. Context: This lesson can be taught to a single class or used in an after-school coding/robotics club. Students should be

The project requires students to act as mechanical and electrical engineers who are tasked with planning, designing, and testing a new toy invention. This toy must have functioning lights, and teams

Students will be able to observe and recognize that a thermometer is a device that is used to measure a change in temperature.

Students create a video-tutorial that talks about Direct and Inverse Variation in this creative lesson. This material will showcase their full understanding about the type of variation they have

In this activity, students will make a model of the planets in the solar system and specifically model their distances to scale. Materials: Model of the Solar System-plastic 3D model String Push pins

This lesson plan is written for 7th grade science but can be modified to be used with any age group. Students will create petri dishes and will collect samples from bathrooms. Students will then

This lesson is based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Students will focus on building a chair where a pound of dumbbell will be used to test the durability of the chair because in the story

Are you ready to build?! In this hands-on lesson students build a model of a robot using LEGOs. They will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of robots and determine what task their model robot

This would be an end of the unit project. Students would need prior knowledge about animal adaptations and biomes/habitats. Students will use Flipgrid to share, but you could use any other video app

This is lesson one for a unit plan on circuitry. In this challenge, students will be tasked with planning, designing, and testing both open and closed circuits. To make things more interesting, they

Summary Each of the first two Basic Handling lessons is approximately 5 minutes in length. The onboard “Flight Instructor” will instruct student trainees on what they should be doing and interacting

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a sturdy structure out of toothpicks and marshmallows that will withstand an earthquake simulation (a tray of Jello is used). This is an engaging way

Students will analyze shadows to determine how light moves and changes throughout the day.
