STEM Lesson Plans

Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots

Students will be asked to design and build a playground using the given materials construction paper, toilet paper/paper towel rolls, jumbo/regular popsicle sticks, and glue/tape. They will learn

As part of a unit on renewable energy, students build and collect data on a solar powered fan. They learn about agrivoltaics and build a model of a racking system. They explore angles and energy use.

For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype

In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph

Students will apply physics and engineering principles to design and construct a functional mini-golf course using homemade materials.

Student Objectives: Your challenge is to thoroughly research real-world oil spills and what has worked to help clean them up in the past, then engineer your own prototype boom to clean up a simulated

Students take plants that they have already sprouted from seed in prior lessons and now will investigate how that plant changes when basic needs are blocked. Students create a dark box maze and

Students will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.

Your job is to build an aqueduct that will supply the Roman cities with clean water to private homes, public baths and glorious fountains. With this success, the citizens will drink clean water

Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a

Students design a 3D bubble wand in Tinkercad and print on a 3D printer.

In this lesson, students will explore how sound moves through physical matter by building a cup and string "telephone." Following testing their design, students will create a video or podcast to

In this model-based inquiry lesson, students will explore how sound travels through an in-person phenomenon. Following this experience students will then explain this phenomenon by creating a model.

How is Res going to collect samples from Mars? Can you use Edison to design a collector that can help Res collect Mars samples? In this lesson students will use Edison to design a sample collector

This lesson will help students judge the difference between Thermal Conductors and Insulators. Students will test, collect data, and find results on which insulator material with have the best results

Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of

Students will focus is on the historical time period of 1763- 1900 CE. The objective is to select a historically accurate person and research the person's story. Then students will plan, create

In this lesson students learn about forces and motion by designing cars with materials provided in the Lakeshore Learning Design & Play: Cars materials. Students will measure distance driven, reflect

The lesson introduces how the earth layers and the fossil record shows a relative time scale. The math concept of a function will be explored. Students will use cause and effect changes of Earth

The "Virtual Reality (VR) Exploration: Building a 3D Solar System" lesson is an exciting and immersive STEM experience designed for 8th-grade students. In this lesson, students delve into the world of

The "Solar-Powered Water Purification System" lesson is an engaging and hands-on STEM experience for 4th-grade students. In this lesson, students explore the importance of clean water and learn how

Students build a wind turbine and test how much work it can do. Students also use data about wind energy production to complete a Claim-Evidence-Reasoning assignment.

NASA needs Resilience to take pictures to send back to Earth for observation. Resilience needs a cell phone holder that can take pictures or videos from multiple views. Can you use Edison to design a
