STEM Lesson Plans

Summary: Today we will observe and test five known mystery powders, identify examples of physical and chemical reactions to determine who committed the crime. Materials: 6 teaspoons or small spoons

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the shapes found in and around their home. Making these connections will provide a real-world framework to their understanding of mathematics

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

This engaging lesson is all about reverse engineering! Students will read and discuss the hook “A.I. Apocalypse”. They learn all about reverse engineering during this project as they determine a

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad. Materials: Computers with internet access Tinkercad accounts for each student (if your school does not

Students will be able to observe and recognize that a thermometer is a device that is used to measure a change in temperature.

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the numbers found in and around their home. Making these connections will help strengthen number sense and provide a real-world framework to

Students will learn and explain about pollination and how it helps plants to grow and reproduce. After reading about pollinators, students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers

In this unit, students will study the effects of air pollution and engineer an environmentally friendly air filter to reduce pollutants in the air using common household items and recycled materials

Summary - Students will be identifying the structures and functions of plant reproductive parts. Materials - Flowers, scissors, magnifying lenses, resource materials (internet/textbook)

Over two days students will build lego mazes to code their Sphero minis through. Materials needed are; the planning page, legos, Sphero minis, Sphero EDU App, iPads, and Lego build plates.

Students construct models of various molecules, create histograms of the frequency of elements, and diagram parts of an atom. Students will deepen their understanding of matter--that tiny particles

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad and allow them to apply their skills to create a model car. It will also help them develop their

This lesson took place in a 90 minute after school STEM club (could work in 2 - 45 minute class periods). Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on sample collection and analytical

Summary Each of the first two Basic Handling lessons is approximately 5 minutes in length. The onboard “Flight Instructor” will instruct student trainees on what they should be doing and interacting

In this lesson, students will identify the significance mean, median, and mode while collecting data and making observations about a collection of items in their home. Making these connections will

Students will learn how to create a 3D avatar using Tinkercad and develop their digital design skills. Students will explore the concept of avatars and the role they play in digital media.

Who said candy?! In this hands-on lesson, students create rock candy using hot water and Kool-Aid flavoring. They will mix materials together and observe their creation.

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards : HS.P3U2.7 Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to

This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are

This lesson plan is designed for students to investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The lesson starts with a phenomena video and hypothesis question. It is followed by a

Students will be creating their own testing station for sound waves! Each group will get 5 glasses and will put a different amount of water in each of the glasses. Then the students will tap the glass

Students will better understand gas, liquid, and solid states of matter through hands-on learning stations and a create-a-toy design challenge.
