STEM Lesson Plans

The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.

Student will have the opportunity to build their own Vermicompost bin in this hand on lesson. This is a great opportunity to bring in a Community Expert to share their love of Urban Gardening and what

Students will use live seedlings and available information about seedling and the Sun's energy to determine the best location for the plant to thrive.

Teaching with phenomena is a great way to connect real world events with inquiry based learning in the classroom. In this lesson students will observe and investigate a phenomenon that involves the

The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density

Students will have the opportunity to apply the skils of finding area of a rectangle and volume of rectangular prism when they determine the area and volume of garden beds at the school.

In this lesson, students will learn about the role of a pollinator. They will have the opportunity to practice being a bee using their proboscis, wrapped candy and cheese balls.

This lesson combines plant science with measurement and line plot graphing. Students will research plant needs through books and media to plan and conduct an experiment which tests different growing

Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety

In this activity, students will complete a Web Quest to find the diameter of the Earth, Moon, and Sun AND will observe how the Earth orbits around the Sun and how the moon rotates around the Earth by

In this lesson, students will read about volcanoes (using teacher chosen books and Readworks.org passages) as well as watch videos to see them in real life. They will then create their own volcano and

Students will create a scientific claim that is supported by evidence as to which car is the better deal, the Hot Wheels car or the generic car. During the four day activity, students will conduct

In this lesson, students will incorporate science and math concepts as they investigate properties of matter. They will apply mathematical concepts and formulas in a hands on activity where they

Have you ever wondered how ducks stay warm and dry while swimming in cold water? Students will create a duck and then be able to test their theory!

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.
