STEM Lesson Plans

Investigative Phenomenon: When subjected to identical forces, a golf ball and a table tennis ball exhibit distinct movement. In this lesson, students discover: 1. Equivalent force may result in varied

In this high school science/engineering lesson on exploring cracked steel, students will delve into the concept of cracked steel and its impact on structural integrity. They will define composites and

In this project, students will create a professional blueprint of their real-life home. Students will then do research to find at least ten places in the home that impact the environment (positive or

In this project, students will choose an environmental problem to research. They will look up why this problem is occurring and how it is harming the environment. Students will then come up with two

This lesson combines ELA (reading and discussing the story), engineering (design a balloon with materials given and attach the balloon to an EdBot), and technology (code an EdBot to run the parade

This lesson provides the students an opportunity to learn hands-on. They work as a worm biologist or Annelidologist, observing how the external features of the worm, such as its segmented body and

This lesson includes fourth grade reading, writing, math, science, and engineering standards. The potential is endless with additional enrichment activities. Students participate in the nurturing and

Just like many things we do in our lives, pumpkin growth and coding follow a pattern. Students will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin and fill in a practice page that talks about the pumpkin's life

In this lesson, students learn about seals. They will listen to a story about orcas and what they eat. Next, they plan and build an island for the seals to get away from the orcas. Finally, students

In this lesson students work together to create a model to show the relationship between plants and animals and where they live using play doh or clay. Students will explore things around them and

I use this lesson as a fun activity to visualize unit conversions and the immense scale of the universe. I love this lesson because I find it challenging to teach unit conversions with hands-on

Through this project, students will explore the concept of the "robot brain" and its relation to AI. Understand the basics of circuits as a model for the functionality of a robot brain. Create a paper

Students will use engineering, art, technology, and 21st century skills to create Halloween costumes for their Sphero robots. Costumes will be showcased in a Halloween parade where students will code

With this lesson, students work in teams and are tasked with creating and designing a greener/cleaner city that has a minimum of 20 green/clean sustainable features. In order to engineer this, the

A coding activity for the STEM teacher that has to participate in Literacy Night at school! This activity/lesson will introduce students to coding as a fundamental element of literacy and ties in well

Get ready to learn about density! This is a density lab involving hot and cold-water layering, salt density layers, and a PHET online lab simulation.

This lesson provides a quick and easy to understand introduction to Binary code. In this lesson, we focus on binary numbers whereas, subsequent lessons can focus on the binary alphabet.

Students observe particle movement for solids, liquids, and gases. They then write Pseudocode for coding particle behavior and then they code particle movement on Scratch for the three states/phases

Students will be divided into 6 groups, one for each of the major systems in the human body, and create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.

In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot and collaboratively solve addition problems using critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They will then become detectives to solve the

In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot. They will collaborate with their peers and use problem-solving skills and critical thinking to learn about coding and how to create an

Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also

This lesson is used to introduce our unit on Energy in a 9th grade physics course; however, it can be adapted to various grade levels and contents. It can be completed over 1–3 days, depending on your

In this lesson, first-grade students will explore the concept of resource sharing in nature using dioramas. The lesson is designed to help students understand that living things, such as plants and
