STEM Lesson Plans

Students are introduced to a project that asks them to use classroom materials to create a new form of vision technology. Students review how the eye works, create a plan, and share that plan with

Students after learning how to use EDBlocks and EDScratch programming for Edison Robots will go to a younger class and teach those students how to do it too.

In this lesson, students will discuss where invasive species come from and their impacts on the ecosystems in which they are found. In groups, students will research invasive species common in the

In this lesson, students observe the changes in states of matter caused by heat, or the lack in changes in some objects. Students relate this to the Driving Question of what happened to the Niagara

Your job is to build an aqueduct that will supply the Roman cities with clean water to private homes, public baths and glorious fountains. With this success, the citizens will drink clean water

Students explore genetics and create a model to represent how genes are passed down from a parent plant to an offspring plant. This lesson could be adapted to address 1st Grade Life Science Standard

How is Res going to collect samples from Mars? Can you use Edison to design a collector that can help Res collect Mars samples? In this lesson students will use Edison to design a sample collector

Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of

Students will focus is on the historical time period of 1763- 1900 CE. The objective is to select a historically accurate person and research the person's story. Then students will plan, create

Students explore the solar system and space concepts (including microgravity, eclipses, etc.) using technology. Student choice is given with a choice board.

The "Virtual Reality (VR) Exploration: Building a 3D Solar System" lesson is an exciting and immersive STEM experience designed for 8th-grade students. In this lesson, students delve into the world of

Students will be creating two different gardens. A hydroponics garden indoors and a raised bed garden outside. Students will be gathering data to help define the question: What is the biggest issue

An integrated fourth grade math and geography lesson. This lesson is aligned to the ADE/NGSS Cross Cutting Concept of Scale, Proportion, and Quantity. The fourth grade social studies/geography

Students will engage in a phenomena based lab in which they simulate relative dating of sedimentary rocks, an earthquake and volcanic eruption. In the lab, students will see how the layers at the

In this hands-on lesson, students will meet Edison, the programmable robot, and program the machine to do several tasks on its own. One way to program Edison is to use barcodes and a program called

For this lesson, students will build a Ferris Wheel using both technic pieces and bricks from the LEGO Spike Prime kit. They will work through the engineering design process, collect data and

This is the 3rd lesson in a series of 4. Students will discuss a slow reveal graph about the amount of forest destroyed each year. Students compare two graphs and decide which is better at

This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are
