STEM Lesson Plans

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 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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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

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

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.

Students will take the rover models they built using LEGOs in Design a Rover Part 1. They will improve on their design in Tinkercad and build a model that will be printed utilizing a 3D printer. Their
