STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson will take 2 60 minute class periods. Students will watch a video, read a book, and have class discussions about earthquakes. This lesson will walk students through the design process

Students will learn about forces and motion by building a straw rocket. They will measure how far their rocket flies and then build a second rocket to see if they can make it go farther.

Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while

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.

Introducing how EdScratch programming works with the Edison Robots. Activities and ideas linked in the lesson.

Lesson Two of Four: This lesson will help to show students there are lots of possibilities when building robots and students will be able to create their own prototype.

First of Four. Introduction to how Edison Robots work. Students will self discover some of the possibilities of what the robots can do.

Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots

For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype

In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph

Students will apply physics and engineering principles to design and construct a functional mini-golf course using homemade materials.

Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.

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

This lesson will help students judge the difference between Thermal Conductors and Insulators. Students will test, collect data, and find results on which insulator material with have the best results

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 use known geographical features to identify landforms on images from the Mars Orbital Reconnaissance Satellite.

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

The "Solar-Powered Water Purification System" lesson is an engaging and hands-on STEM experience for 4th-grade students. In this lesson, students explore the importance of clean water and learn how

Explore temperature and weather with students. Teachers will guide students through this graphing and research activity. The unit opens with a literacy component, Global Warming with Seymour Simon

In this lesson students explore the relationship between pigmentation and light absorbance. Students will use a spectrophotometer to analyze pigment samples and record the absorption spectrum for

In this lesson students will discuss why they would use a 3D printer to create a planter pot? Students will also brainstorm "What features are important for a planter pot?" Finally students will

This lesson plan will give you an idea on how to deliver the Area of Rectangles topic to your classes which will make your students enjoy and interact during the discussion. This will require some
