STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad and allow them to apply their skills to create a model car. It will also help them develop their

In this lesson, students will learn about simple circuits, then create a simple circuit using copper tape, LED's, and batteries. Finally, they will construct a 3D model of a haunted house and use

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

Students will engage in an activity that helps us understand the effect of fracking on the environment by digging for oil (chocolate chips) from their mining site (cookie). Agenda: Fracking pictures

Students will construct a model of an ocean habitat to simulate an oil spill. They will then make observations about the behavior of the oil in the water and on the various items in the habitat model

This lesson teaches students about lines, angles, measuring and naming angles, using a protractor, and engages students by having them build a catapult and measure best angle for furthest launch.

Summary Each of the first two Basic Handling lessons is approximately 5 minutes in length. The onboard “Flight Instructor” will instruct student trainees on what they should be doing and interacting

Students collaborate to create mazes for the Bee-Bot robot. Students also work in teams to plan and create programs to move Bee-Bots through the maze. For this lesson, students work in groups of 2-3

Students create a video-tutorial that talks about Direct and Inverse Variation in this creative lesson. This material will showcase their full understanding about the type of variation they have

The project requires students to act as mechanical and electrical engineers who are tasked with planning, designing, and testing a new toy invention. This toy must have functioning lights, and teams

Are you ready to build?! In this hands-on lesson students build a model of a robot using LEGOs. They will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of robots and determine what task their model robot

Students will learn and explain about pollination and how it helps plants to grow and reproduce. After reading about pollinators, students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

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

Students will plan and design a maze using the supplies provided to move one marble from the start line to the finish line. They will learn about potential and kinetic energy properties. We will use

Students will use SEEK or other species identification tools to create a database of biodiversity on campus. The lesson starts with a discussion of the importance of biodiversity to the functioning of

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

In this lesson, students will learn about air resistance, friction, and Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will then collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an

In this lesson, students will learn the differences between kinetic and potential energy, and the meaning of conservation of energy. Students will also, compare and contrast balanced and unbalanced

This lesson plan is designed for students to investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The lesson starts with a phenomena video and hypothesis question. It is followed by a

Students will be creating their own testing station for sound waves! Each group will get 5 glasses and will put a different amount of water in each of the glasses. Then the students will tap the glass

Students will design a keychain in Tinkercad, strengthening their understanding of metric units and design, while also using the following mathematical vocabulary: volume, prism, cylinder, millimeters
