STEM Lesson Plans

Stop motion is a great way for students to slow down working through the steps in math to demonstrate their understanding of math concepts. Students can film a short story or step-by-step instructions

Today we will engineer air powered rockets. To do this we will: Watch a video and note the shape of rockets and learn about countdown and liftoff Name shapes as we brainstorm and sketch plans Build

Today we are engineering marble runs. To do this we will: Share ideas Brainstorm and sketch plans Count and measure Collaborate and communicate effectively with others

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about and explore plant adaptations through various readings and pictures of plant adaptations. They study Venus Flytraps specifically and labels the different

Students will redesign the front face of the school, to improve the curb appeal. Students will identify space by using math equations to properly create a plan for school makeover. Students will use

In this creative lesson, students focus on inertia while exploring the magnetic compass and its errors while flying an aircraft.

This lesson plan has a focus on drawing/creating a scaled drawing and 3D model of our nation's busiest airport airspaces. This hands-on lesson allows students to explore 3D modeling and the topic of

This lesson has a focus on Bernoulli's Principle, the venturi, and how it applies toward creating lift on an aircraft.

VR in the classroom, oh my! This Day 1 lesson provides students an introductory understanding of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg and his machines, the Oculus (Meta) Quest 2, the online game Dynamic

More VR integration in the classroom, oh my! This is the second lesson of a two-day exploration of chain reactions. On day one, students received a general overview of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg

In this lesson students will show the proportion of freshwater compared to saltwater on Earth. Students will define the problem of having a limited amount of fresh water using evidence gathered from

In this lesson, students will use the story of "The Three Little Superpigs and the Gingerbread Man" as the context to complete a hands-on STEM activity where they are responsible for building a trap

In this set of hands-on labs, students will explore friction and the effects of different types of surfaces on motion. They will have a chance to test motion with cars as well as create hover board

We all love games, but some games are more engaging than others. Students will spend time going through the engineering design process as they create a game that will bring people together. They will

Students explore how circuitry works with a hands-on lesson where they design and build their own working pressure plate. The use of a MakeyMakey is incorporated with helpful video resources and

• 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

Around two thousand years ago, weighing an elephant without advanced equipment posed a challenging problem. However, a clever solution was devised by a seven-year-old named Cao Cong. He ingeniously

In this outstanding lesson, students will explore circuitry through working collaboratively to build a working floor piano out of simple materials. Students explore the engineering design process by

In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed

In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on

Understand and implement the steps of the Design Thinking Process. Students will also be using their knowledge of energy to design a balloon-powered car that travels the farthest.

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model

In this hands-on lesson, students are supported in their initial self-exploration with Edison Robots. Students work in small groups and begin with a KWL chart. Watch what students can do as they make

This hands-on lesson shows how you can use LEGOs (Spike Prime kits) and coding to demonstrate how gravity works and what can be done to counter the gravitational pull.
