STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson begins the students' adventures into the wide world of drones. The lesson starts by exploring how drones (UAVs) are used in different fields. This lesson helps to gauge interest in

Students are constructing a cardboard remote control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors.

Students will be able to identify, understand and describe acute, obtuse, right, scalene, isosceles and equilateral triangles and use this knowledge to perform at the Sphero Rodeo! This lesson

An unknown mass is hung from the "Y" shaped string. To the top of one side of the "Y", the string is connected to a force sensor/spring scale. Using the reading from the force sensor/spring scale and

This engaging lesson has students create a dynamic poem, using at least 3 particular Literary Elements, that describes the form and function of a particular Anatomy & Physiology term. The students

What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course

The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM

A Makerspace experience for the Holidays! (Part 2) Students are invited to launch their very own startup business just in time for the holidays! In your Makerspace group, invite students to brand

A Makerspace experience for the Holidays! Students are invited to launch their very own startup business just in time for the holidays! In your Makerspace group, invite students to brand, create a

Students will use evidence from an investigation to model and explain how thermal expansion of land and sea ice impact the sea level. They will quantify the impact of land ice melt and thermal

In this lesson, students are introduced to the use of synthetic pigments (biomimicry) in things they use everyday to make art. Students use solvents to separate colors and study chromatography in

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

Engage 1st graders in hands-on exploration of simple machines! From classifying to building, this interactive lesson fosters STEM skills and real-world connections.

In this kindergarten computer science lesson, students explore algorithms through a playful "Looping Train Adventure," connecting everyday actions to the way computers follow instructions in a

In this high school lesson, students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.

In this creative lesson, students use research and observations to plan an ideal area for our school chickens. Students build the needed structures and work together to create the chickens' home.

In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use

This lesson plan is about structures that are balanced using tension forces. Students will create their own tensegrity structure that will withstand a predetermined amount of weight. Students will

In this lesson students will use the Engineering Design Process to create a working foosball table. Students will also code a Micro:bit that they will use to keep score between the two teams.

Students will learn about Newton's Third Law of Motion and practice this law by using the engineering design process to create a paper jet engine using a balloon.

Students use test strips and research to solve the issue of a fish death in our classroom tank. This would also work well for the initial setup of a tank. Students see a tangible, observable, real

Get your students up and moving! Together, you and your students will move and create a model of the solar system. Your kinesthetic learners will love this lesson! The solar system comes to life

Students will learn the history of rainsticks. They will engineer and design their rainstick. Students have to figure out how much rice, beans and corn goes inside to make the sound of rain. Finally
