STEM Lesson Plans

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

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.

Students will grow to understand what decomposition is and why it is a vital part to their compost bins success.

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

This is lesson one for a unit plan on circuitry. In this challenge, students will be tasked with planning, designing, and testing both open and closed circuits. To make things more interesting, they

Students will learn how to construct a moving car robot and program the robot using block-based coding. They will be successful when they have coded the car robot through a maze, they created, without

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the shapes found in and around their home. Making these connections will provide a real-world framework to their understanding of mathematics

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

In this engaging lesson, students will use 2-3 days to build a land yacht with Lego BricQ sets. They will test different winds and angles, and then use their lab to introduce Newton's third law of

Students will learn how to create a 3D avatar using Tinkercad and develop their digital design skills. Students will explore the concept of avatars and the role they play in digital media.

Summary: Students are coding and observing robots to try and determine all forces acting on the robot. Materials; Robots that can be coded to move in different ways. Laptops to code. Agenda The

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

This lesson plan will introduce students to the basics of 3D modeling and design using Tinkercad. Materials: Computers with internet access Tinkercad accounts for each student (if your school does not

Students will learn about the physics of motion and force and use those to create a mini-golf course hole that has obstacles and an environmental awareness theme.

This is a lesson plan based on playlist model where students will learn Heat transfer by using a play list and picking the topics according to their own pace. The students will need a computer/ laptop

In this lesson, students will be learning about the challenges of farming in space for future settlements. Specifically they will focus on the difficulty of testing whether plants will grow in soil

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

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the numbers found in and around their home. Making these connections will help strengthen number sense and provide a real-world framework to

This is the 2nd part in a 4-lesson series. This lesson is on the fins and how they work with balanced and unbalanced forces. Students will need the worksheet, the article for read and reflect, foam

Students (over 2-3 days) use BricQ parts and pieces to create a lab to test how mass affects the distance a Lego piece will travel. This hands-on lesson was designed to introduce Newton’s law #2

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 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
