STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson uses Edison Robots but any programmable robot can be used. Students explore how to block code a robot to create a sequence of events. Their program is tested for accuracy and revised for

In this set of hands-on labs, students will explore friction and the effects of different types of surfaces on motion. They will have a chance to test motion with cars as well as create hover board

Students will have the opportunity to discuss growing conditions needed for a healthy plant and what to do when the optimal choice may not be available. In this lesson students construct hydroponic

This is a two day lesson plan where the first day a local accountant will come and present about investments and their exponential properties, followed by a small activity to help make the nature of

• Student teams will work together in small groups to identify important story elements in a familiar story, then develop a plot diagram using Bee-Bots. • In a small group, students will use code to

Around two thousand years ago, weighing an elephant without advanced equipment posed a challenging problem. However, a clever solution was devised by a seven-year-old named Cao Cong. He ingeniously

In this outstanding lesson, students will explore circuitry through working collaboratively to build a working floor piano out of simple materials. Students explore the engineering design process by

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

The purpose of this lesson is to explore with students the mining process and the potential impacts humans have on ecosystems and their populations. Once completed students should have a deeper

In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

This lesson demonstrates how you can build a safe with a programmable code to keep your lunch money safe. This is an important technology lesson where the focus is not only on the coding and problem

This high school lesson was created to discuss Martian and potentially future soil on Earth. The overall goal is to achieve biodiversity and health within the soil. It should hold moisture but not too

In this hands-on lesson, students design and execute an experiment to maximize caffeine extraction when making coffee. The caffeine testing is conducted using a Spectrometer. The focus of this lesson

In this lesson, students will listen to a story about how and why crayons were invented. They will then create a crayon tower and record data. This is the 1st lesson in a series of 2.

In this lesson, students perform a lab, and use a materials list to create an "activity series", the inverse of a reduction potential chart. While reduction charts are used more often, the "activity

In this hands-on lesson, students will use area and perimeter to plan and design an environmentally sustainable hole for a golf course. Students learn the history of golf and research sustainable

In this lesson, students will use the LEGO BricQ Motion Prime set to build a gymnast powered car that can experiment with the three Laws of Motion. Students can modify the car to move in different

Students will use a known lab to represent photosynthesis in action. They can use this template for the lab and pick another variable to collect data on to complete the story on how photosynthesis

In this lesson, students construct a paper model of CRISPR and work on focus questions to understand how CRISPR works. They will go through the motions of gene replacement so they can see what happens

In this hands-on lesson, students will learn about the concept of Mechanically Stabilized Earth & Newtons Third Law. They hypothesize, conduct experiments using layered sand cubes, analyze results, &

In this engaging lesson, students build a model rocket. They design an experimental procedure based on their understanding of the forces acting on the rocket. They predict values using a flight

This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 3. In this 8-week project, 6th-grade students will collaborate in small groups to create eco-friendly inventions that aim to reduce their carbon footprints and

This can be taught at different grade levels, diving deeper when possible. Just delete what you don’t need. Students will be creating their own crystal by following the scientific method, collecting
