STEM Lesson Plans

Students will use the materials provided to engineer a vehicle that is powered by a robot and deliver a treat to a chosen location. Students will use the robots you have. I use Sphero and Edison

This is the final lesson of 4 lessons. In this lesson we are creating our design from lesson 3. This is a project-type lesson, so it is not done in a traditional manner. Students will create either

Students are given a mission to map and collect resources with a robot needed in a Mars colony. Students need to use coordinate points to create a route from a starting point to a destination for

This is the second lesson of a 4-part series that explores STEM in Knitting. This lesson is optional and requires the teacher to be an experienced knitter either by hand or with a knitting machine

In this lesson students will be creating a geometric design to create a stained-glass window. They will then assemble the window with pretzel rods, royal icing and melted Jolly Ranchers. Students can

This week-long experience teaches students about the computer science and robotics behind NASA's Mars Rover program using Ozobots as Mars Rovers. Students will first build background on the history of

This hands-on lesson uses vermicomposting to apply virtually all of the science & engineering practices as well as several in math. Enough for a unit but a few stand-alone pieces can help your

Students will learn the basics of coding concepts such as sequencing, algorithms, and conditional statements, while also reinforcing math skills related to counting and addition. They will be using a

This lesson is modeled after STEMAzing's lesson, "Picture Perfect Rover Cell Phone Holder”. Students will build a cell phone holder for their Edison Bot, plan a drive for the Bot to collect photos or

Students will be introduced to the concept of agrivoltaics: what it is, why it's important, how it works.

This is part 3 of a unit. Links to the first 2 lessons are included. This lesson focuses on building the base for the Ferris wheel. Students are encouraged to design and create a base that is wide

Students will understand the principles of creative problem-solving and innovation by designing wacky inventions. They will collaborate, think critically, and use the engineering design process to

In this hands-on lesson, students research the solar system. Then, they work in groups to create a solar system model and present it to the class.

In this lesson, students will learn about planets and stars and their relationship with each other. They will create a planet or star and then, as a group, create a song to present to the class.

Wildlife cameras are fun & surprisingly easy to use! If your students have never used any, check out this lesson to get them started by collecting meaningful image data to answer questions that they

In this hands-on lesson, students will utilize Beebots and the app iClips on the iPad to create a film about bees. Students will create their own storyboards and props and will analyze each other's

In this engaging lesson, students use a voltmeter tool. They will measure the milliamps of electricity in sports drinks to see which brand or flavor has the highest concentration and therefore more

In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge from the prior day's lesson (Magnetic Marble Run Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1), to complete an Advanced Build of a Magnetic Marble Run. This lesson

Within this lesson, students will present their master-planned community to a test audience and potential clients. Focus is on presenting to the client rather than reading information off the slide

In this hands-on lesson, students will design, construct, and defend their hummingbird feeder design.

Empower with solar, motors & wireless! Unravel renewable energy, motor tech & wireless applications in an engaging STEM journey.

Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.

Discover the power of hydraulics and pneumatics! Engaging in STEM activity on building systems and understanding fluid dynamics.

This is part 2 of a unit. The other lessons are linked within each lesson. During this lesson, students will be encouraged to collaborate and imagine different solutions in order to connect the sides
