STEM Lesson Plans

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

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

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete

Students discover kite-making in this hands-on lesson! They create a kite with a variety of materials and test out the final product. This lesson can be adapted to fit different grade levels.

In this lesson, students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. They will also accurately complete an itemized

In this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a balloon powered car that travels at least 5 feet. This is a fun and engaging way for students to experience science in

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 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.

In this fun lesson, students solve addition or subtraction equations. They will show their answers on a math paper or grid by coding a Bee-Bot to show their answer. This is a great way to incorporate

This 90-minute lesson is focused on ELA with integration on Science and Engineering. The lesson will discuss about Ecology for Kids which target skill is getting the main idea and supporting details

In this lesson, students will create a model of the solar system by shrinking the dimensions of the distances. Students will read an informational text about the features of the planets and view a

In this food-related lesson, students use the engineering design process to create solar ovens and cook s'mores. They engage in critical thinking as they construct their design and test out the oven

Connect real world situations to the graphs of parabolas through flight. Groups will create PVC stomp rockets, collect data of their rocket's flight path and graph this path on paper to compare to

This is lesson 4 out of a unit of 4 lessons about habitats. In the proceeding lessons, students researched habitats and animal adaptations. This lesson is a presentation of information using a variety

This lesson plan includes ideas and materials centered on Mark Kelly's book Mousetronaut. The students will be discussing gravity and listening to the book. They will then be participating in an

In this engaging lesson, students will participate in an engineering challenge or STEM activity that connects to a read aloud. Students will communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans

Students will learn basic concepts of physics, including velocity, motion, and vector. S tudents will develop and use a model to predict how forces act on objects at a distance. Finally students will

This is about a one hour lesson where students work in small groups of 2-4 to get their robot around their table using estimation of centimeters. Students will write a program in Blockly that gets the

It's time to lay down roots in this hands-on lesson! Students will construct a model of plant roots using Play-Doh. They will explain the different parts of a plant and the different roles the parts

In this lesson students will explain all three of Newton’s laws of motions. Students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an engineering design challenge to design

Students will design balloon rockets in order to solidify an understanding of Newton's Third Law of Motion . Students will develop an investigation question and then perform their investigation. For

Environmental Masters of Disaster Team (groups of 3-5 students) will choose an man-made environmental disaster, analyze its effects, then engineer a method or prototype to solve the problem.

This lesson is to introduce students to coding using EdScratch and Edison Robots. Students use LEGOs to build a house for grandma and figure out a way to keep her safe.

This lesson plan will help students appreciate the concept of volume. Students will measure the dimensions of the real-life prisms given to them then calculate its volume using the formula given
