STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson has students watching a baby plant and seeing what it will grow into. Students are able to compare the seedling with an adult plant, and determine how the plant cycles from seed to adult

Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.

Students will use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity. This solar energy is transmitted through cables to the motor and then to the fountain. The fountain pressure increases and

Students will compare two non-fiction texts about the Mars Rover, Opportunity. They will then use their knowledge of Computer Science and coding to develop a code instructing a robot to traverse an

Transportation 2043 - In 20 years time, how will you move within a city, how will you transport between major urban areas? Will you use High Speed Rail, a Hyperloop, Driverless Vehicles, eVTOLs

In this lesson plan the students learn to design, construct and determine weight loads capabilities for their project.

This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.

This lesson is about basic school/home gardening. The lesson involves Science, Math, Technology and Engineering content. Students will be taught how to make basic gardens. They will need seeds, garden

Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students will read an article about new innovative inventions. Students will research an issue they care about. Some examples would be climate change, trash, world hunger, forest fires, pollution, etc

Students will research and understand bird evolution. They will identify the functions of body parts and ecosystems. They will predict evolutionary changes that a specific bird will go through and the

In this inquiry-based lesson, students explore energy with the phenomenal Newton's cradle. They will be able to understand and apply the Law of Conservation of Energy. Students will identify the

This lesson is part two of evidence of the big bang theory. Students investigate red shift and blue shift and how it supports the expansion of the universe. They will complete an online simulation

Students design and build air powered gliders in this engaging lesson. This is a fun way to teach and apply principles of force as they apply to flight including lift, gravity, thrust, and drag

This lesson explores the role of pollinators in flower reproduction and provides examples of pollinators and flower characteristics that attract pollinators. This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 2

This lesson explores the parts of a flower, the importance of flowers, how flowers grow, and the process of pollination. Students are actively engaged as they learn about flowers and discover flowers

This STEM lesson is designed to explore electrical circuits and engage in a hands-on activity to create, label, and identify the differences between parallel and series circuits. Students will develop

Aerospace to Sports explores the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls. Students learn about how the industry employs engineering

Students will ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather.

This lesson plan is designed to allow students to express their creativity while applying science, technology and math concepts by designing their own dream house.

This lesson includes literacy, math, and art about snowflakes. Within math, students will dive into an analysis of angles within a common snowflake. Students will listen to an informational text about

This first grade lesson includes the life cycle and survival of a seed. Students will participate in observing the life cycle of a seed, asking questions, writing about the life cycle, and listening

What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee or another pollinator flies from flower to flower? Why is pollination important? How
