STEM Lesson Plans

In this kindergarten lesson we'll be learning all about bats and why they're important to our environment. Students will create a bat out of ripped up pieces of paper and will fill in a bat template

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

Lesson Summary: Students code sprites in scratch to animate the Central Dogma of Biology Materials: Laptops Agenda: The teacher will introduce a list of items like the following: aquarium, bicycle

The students will create a Three Sisters Garden by participating in a teamwork activity, listening to a read aloud, watching a video, creating a diagram, planting the garden, and creating a video

Students will grow to understand what decomposition is and why it is a vital part to their compost bins success.

Classes will prepare several garden bins for planting. By using a tape measure, students take into consideration the recommended distances of seed planting described on the seed packet and the

In this lesson, students go on a nature walk, notice nature, and increase their observation skills. They will identify different plant types and make connections to the plant’s needs: sunlight, soil

Plants are the basis for nearly all agricultural production. Agricultural plant crops produce food, fiber, fuel, and aesthetically pleasing plants. Plants utilize energy from the Sun to convert water

Students are put into groups of 3 or 4. As a group they create an animal cell model and then create a slide show naming and describing the organelles of an animal cell.

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

In this hands-on lesson, students use fruit snacks or candy to create models of the molecules used and produced in cellular respiration.

Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read

Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant

In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn

This is a lesson that engages students to critically read informational text, construct an argument with evidence, and engage in academic discourse about the nature, living or non-living, of viruses

This will be a 1 class period laboratory. It should take about 45-60 minutes. Students will be making a wet-mount slide of pollen that they collected or that was provided. They can look at prepared

This lesson is the initial planning, sorting, and planting lesson to get Our Plot of Sunshine Curriculum started within a 3rd grade classroom. Can be modified for other grades, but math within this

This lesson provides an overview of the differences between living and nonliving things. Students will be asked to compare and contrast living and nonliving things and describe the characteristics of

Students will tend to their garden boxes and observe the plants that are starting to grow. Students will take measurements and start a graph on growth throughout the growing cycle of their garden

Students will develop a model of a city and have it be protected from "the clickers".

In this lesson plan, students make use of their knowledge about homoestasis, osmosis, and types of solutions to design their own science investigation that will enable them to prove and answer: Why it

In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph

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

In this lesson, students observe the changes in states of matter caused by heat, or the lack in changes in some objects. Students relate this to the Driving Question of what happened to the Niagara
