STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. They will also accurately complete an itemized

For this lesson students will be exploring/applying the concept of equations of circles. The teacher will place a giant graph in the room and students will make a circular art design to put on the

In this lesson, students will test Earth's gravity and how gravity affects objects of different masses. Students will see that mass does not have an effect but instead air resistance is what causes

In this lesson students will discover the best angle that will produce the fastest speed for a hot wheel vehicle when traveling 1 meter. Students will also practice calculating speed (speed=distance

"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a young boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. While the book doesn't explicitly teach STEM principles, it

Imagine being stranded in the wilderness, far away from civilization, with nothing but your wits and a hatchet. You have to find a way to survive, to protect yourself from the elements, and to create

Making a wave machine to learn about the parts of the wave. This is the foundational learning piece before heading into the seismic building challenge.

In this engaging and interactive lesson, we'll immerse 1st-grade students in the fascinating world of bees and flower pollination. Using a hands-on simulation activity with colored powder, students

Students will focus sunlight through a pinhole onto a sheet of paper. Knowing the distance between the projection and the pinhole allows students to calculate the diameter of the Sun using ratios.

In Day 1 (of 3) of our exciting journey, students embark on a captivating exploration of the natural world, delving into the mysteries of plant life cycles and the essential role that bees play in

Day 2 of this lesson plan for 1st-grade students plays a crucial role in bridging theoretical understanding with hands-on experience. It deepens students' knowledge of pollination, emphasizing the

Students will be divided into 6 groups, one for each of the major systems in the human body, and create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.

This lesson teaches graphing in a variety of ways and looks at how data can be made misleading. Students will begin with a story and creating a behavior over time graph. Then they will engage with the

Engage students with competitive activities. Students will be predicting measurements, collecting data, and determining the difference between the estimation and the actual. Students will create la

Students will use the engineering design process to complete 3 challenges. Each challenge gathers data and collects their engineering changes necessary to complete the challenge.

Students will be paired up, or a group of three if one odd number, and create a Mom and Dad creature with Dominant and Recessive Traits that get passed on to two offspring through the flipping of a

Students will discover the different facets of building a business including product and market research, marketing, cost and profit analysis, product design and more.

This middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 2. Students gain hands-on experience with growing plants from seeds while learning about the plant life cycle, seed germination, and plant needs. They document

Get ready to learn about density! This is a density lab involving hot and cold-water layering, salt density layers, and a PHET online lab simulation.

A coding activity for the STEM teacher that has to participate in Literacy Night at school! This activity/lesson will introduce students to coding as a fundamental element of literacy and ties in well

In this lesson, students explore geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. They apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. This gives students an
