STEM Lesson Plans

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

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

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

In this lesson, students will calculate the surface area of rectangular prism, first constructed and then deconstructed and make observations about any potential differences. Making these connections

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

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

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

This lesson will explore aerodynamics, rocketry, and principles of space flights. Students will act as engineers. Their job is to research, plan, design, and build a water bottle rocket that will

This lesson is about watersheds. It includes the presentation of the lessons, STEM sheet to use, and enrichment activity for students. The lesson includes a branching out activity of their own

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

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

This hands-on lesson covers balanced and unbalanced forces. Students use the skills they have already been taught to apply them to a real-world situation involving rockets. You will need 500mL bottles

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 middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

An ELA Lesson Plan focusing on Stormalong story with integration on Science and Engineering. Understanding characters, figurative language (hyperbole) and comparing two stories are the focus of this

In this lesson, students will investigate the properties of a mixture, as if it were a contaminated soil sample near a stream. This activity will show students that heterogeneous mixtures can be

This is Task 2 (Lesson 2) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room.” Students will be constructing Pangea with their group after reviewing the concepts.

Students will describe the role of pollinators and explain their effects. They will be able to identify how the life cycle of a plant and a pollinator are connected. Students will also get to explore

In this lesson, students will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe. They will identify differences between biomes and collaborate with peers to gather environmental science data
