STEM Lesson Plans

This last lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This fourth lesson allows students to reflect upon what they have learned in this mini unit and create something to

This third lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This third lesson has students testing their creations and dissecting why they work and the roles of the different

This second lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This second lesson has students building the kit and taking a safety test. The accompanying lessons are linked in

This first lesson is part of 4-lesson unit on soldering in the world of engineering! This first lesson really introduces students to the soldering kit and the components. Students will need to pass a

This lesson plan is the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

This lesson plan is about the phases of the moon. It can be used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. This is a hands-on activity that would help students explore the explanations about the movement

First students will learn what engineers do and a few different strategies they might use to build strong buildings. Students will create a structure of any shape using given materials to withhold two

Students explore the world of the lesser long-nosed bat through a self-paced hyperdoc. This unassuming bat is responsible for pollinating some the most magnificent desert cacti. It faced extinction in

The lesson introduces Boolean operations as a tool for searching and then relates the effect of the Boolean operator to the similar effect in Boolean logic as a means to introduce Boolean logic and

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete

In this fun lesson, students create models of the Earth, sun, moon, and planets that can go on robots. They experiment with light and movement to demonstrate the rotation of sun, earth, and moon using

Students will use multiple modes of learning to learn about how force is affected by mass changes. The book Newton and Me will be read aloud and used for a discussion. Finally students will construct

This lesson is about building and testing a Ferris Wheel and the history behind it. Students should be familiar with the concepts of forces, motion, and gravity before starting this project. They

This real-world lesson allows students to understand the impact of an oil spill on animals in the wild. Students experiment with ways to clean oiled animals. There is a literacy integration, hands-on

In this engaging lesson, students create simple paper models of water sheds in class and explore hazards to waterways through an online interactive. They make connections between water stewardship and

Students are experimenting on their own to find out which materials would create the best water filter, after reading The Water Princess and discussing water scarcity. This engaging lesson combines

This lesson takes place over three hour-long, before- school STEAM club meetings. Students will discuss and learning about weather and climate. Then they will complete an engineering challenge to

In this fun lesson, students will develop a simple sketch and a physical model of a float to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. They will then

This is Task 3 (Lesson 3) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project entitled “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room”. Students will construct a 3D model of both an animal cell and human cell. They will

This is about a one hour lesson where students work in small groups of 2-4 to get their robot around their table using estimation of centimeters. Students will write a program in Blockly that gets the

• Student teams will work together in small groups to identify important story elements in a familiar story, then develop a plot diagram using Bee-Bots. • In a small group, students will use code to

In this lesson students will explain all three of Newton’s laws of motions. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an engineering design challenge to design

This lesson is going to be designed to teach third graders about the plant cells and anatomy. The lesson is based on an overview of the plant cells and an interactive experience for students to

In this food-related lesson, students use the engineering design process to create solar ovens and cook s'mores. They engage in critical thinking as they construct their design and test out the oven
