STEM Lesson Plans

In this hands-on lesson, students will use technology (or paper/ pencil) to create a monster using specific polygons. They will measure and describe their monster to a partner who will then re-create

Students get hands-on learning about 2D cross sections of 3D objects with this creative food lesson! From brownies to pickles, students will use food to describe what a cross section is of a 3D shape

Let's talk about waste! Situation: Many items are thrown in the trash every day at school. As a class, track data to determine what the top 5 most frequently discarded items are on your campus

Students will plant seeds and measure their plant growth over time in this hands-on lesson. They will record their data in a chart and create a line plot and bar graph to visually represent collected

In this hands-on lesson, students collaborate with partners to create a game in which they practice their multiplication and division facts. This is an engaging way for students to develop fact

This is a lesson on measurement and problem solving! The king needs to find a birthday present for the queen, but what do you get for someone who has everything? He decides to build her a bed (before

This lesson is designed to create a 3D model and circle graph that will represent where water in different parts of the hydrosphere is located. The purpose is to get students thinking and problem

This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step-by-step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring

In this engaging lesson, students will examine the surface of the Moon to consider hazardous conditions that NASA may find there. Then, they will investigate several hazards (dust, boulders, and

This lesson is a dissection of a flower native to Arizona. Students will identify the parts of the Arizona Yellow Bell, while learning what characteristics are needed to make a flower in Arizona

When Res is hurling towards Mars, he needs a parachute that will help him land safely. Can you design a parachute that will help Res land safely on Mars? Students will design a parachute using coffee

It's slime time! Get ready to explore thermal energy in this hands-on lesson. Students will see evidence of heat transfer by creating color-changing slime!

Bee-Bot is ready for math! In this engaging lesson, students break apart numbers and make different combinations of numbers to make a whole number. Students will be using a Bee-Bot to code and show

In this hands-on lesson, students match a subitize card to the corresponding number using a Bee-Bot. Students may work in small groups of 2-4 to program an algorithm on the Bee-Bots. They will be able

The lesson is designed to engage 3rd-grade students in hands-on exploration of scientific and mathematical concepts using the Dash robot. The lesson aligns with the Arizona Science Standards for 3rd
