STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will show how mass affects velocity (distance/time). Multiple variables can be changed to provide a story representing Newton's Laws in action.

The lesson plan challenges students to integrate research, agricultural principles, and engineering concepts, sparking their creativity in designing efficient and sustainable hydroponic setups. From

Students will discover the Empirical Formula for the synthesis of Magnesium and Oxygen through a laboratory experiment in which they will react Magnesium Ribbon with atmospheric Oxygen by super

Students work together to measure the lengths and angles of a maze in order to create a scale drawing of it. They then use EdScratch to program their Edison robots to navigate the maze.

This engaging lesson is all about scale factor. Students will draw different items to scale. There is a Three Act Math, a DESMOS activity, and a Quizizz link to go along with the lesson!

A Makerspace experience for the Holidays! (Part 2) Students are invited to launch their very own startup business just in time for the holidays! In your Makerspace group, invite students to brand

A Makerspace experience for the Holidays! Students are invited to launch their very own startup business just in time for the holidays! In your Makerspace group, invite students to brand, create a

Students will use evidence from an investigation to model and explain how thermal expansion of land and sea ice impact the sea level. They will quantify the impact of land ice melt and thermal

Have you wanted to set up a STEM Night at your school? This has all the documents and stations that we used at our 5th grade Family STEM Night.

In this lesson, students are introduced to the use of synthetic pigments (biomimicry) in things they use everyday to make art. Students use solvents to separate colors and study chromatography in

Students will collaborate to design a school map to include living and nonliving 3-dimensional objects. Students will use a Cubetto or Sphero device to navigate through a student created map

Students will create an interactive soundboard (assistive technology) to support students in lower grade levels with skills such as math, reading, or language. They will use Makey Makey to support the

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.

In this lesson, students are to use simple materials to create a structure that holds weight. It must be able to stand on its own. Students will first study and discuss gravity.

This lesson pairs STEM with the book - "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief". Students will discuss characters, their relationships to the Greek Gods, the importance of the Greek Gods

Engage 1st graders in hands-on exploration of simple machines! From classifying to building, this interactive lesson fosters STEM skills and real-world connections.

This hands on activity uses calorimetry to determine the calorie content of snack food. Different samples of snack foods are burned and the temperature change of surrounding water is measured. This

After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of

In this creative lesson, students engage in the Engineering Design Process and explore e-textiles by creating a light-up felt sugar skull.

Students work their way through the first two parts of the engineering process in order to get a deeper understanding of an environmental problem- trash. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is certainly

In this kindergarten computer science lesson, students explore algorithms through a playful "Looping Train Adventure," connecting everyday actions to the way computers follow instructions in a

In this high school lesson, students will get the opportunity to engage in scientific research, studying sustainability and fuel options, while creating models to represent their knowledge.

This is a four-day lesson where students work in groups to design a fixture using LEGO bricks that holds a marker in an upright position while attached to their Edison Robots. Students code the robot

In this creative lesson, students use research and observations to plan an ideal area for our school chickens. Students build the needed structures and work together to create the chickens' home.
