STEM Lesson Plans

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

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

This is the second lesson in the series of lessons comparing how garden growing techniques determine plant growth/production. In this lesson, students will research the best types of plants to grow

In this engaging lesson, students measure throw-ins and convert their data to meters by dividing by 100. They will evaluate measurement systems and decide the best measurement size. You will need

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

Integrating the Arts into Earth and Space is a culminating or review activity for 5th grade. This lesson is comprised of five engaging activities for students to complete: Collaborative Storytelling

Students will plan and design a maze using the supplies provided to move one marble from the start line to the finish line. They will learn about potential and kinetic energy properties. We will use

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

In this lesson, students will learn about air resistance, friction, and Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will then collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an

In this lesson, students will learn the differences between kinetic and potential energy, and the meaning of conservation of energy. Students will also, compare and contrast balanced and unbalanced

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 conduct a lab activity to gather information about how the heart rate can be affected by rest and by exercising. They will learn how to calculate their own target heart rates using a
