STEM Lesson Plans

Students will read and explore the idea of leprechauns and traps. Then, using the Engineering Design Process students will have to build a leprechaun trap.

In this lesson, students will use their knowledge of Newton's Laws of Motion while building a functional pinball machine out of recycled materials and classroom items. Let students get creative and

This lesson plan aims to incorporate Science, Engineering, and Math subjects into the Digital Book Project. Students paraphrase in simple words the explanations of chemical reactions in everyday life

Problem - Solution is a type of text structure. The objective of this lesson is for students to further understand defining problems and identifying solutions. Students will make a 3D model using

Students will build a propulsion system that can deliver a payload to a given location in this engaging paper rocket engineering lesson. Students think critically and problem solve as they work

In this engaging lesson, students build a model rocket. They design an experimental procedure based on their understanding of the forces acting on the rocket. They predict values using a flight

In this hands-on lesson, students will learn about the concept of Mechanically Stabilized Earth & Newtons Third Law. They hypothesize, conduct experiments using layered sand cubes, analyze results, &

In this lesson, students will use the LEGO BricQ Motion Prime set to build a gymnast powered car that can experiment with the three Laws of Motion. Students can modify the car to move in different

In this lesson, the students will observe matter that has endured a temperature change. They will make predictions about what they think will happen to a form of matter after choosing if it will be

In this lesson, students perform a lab, and use a materials list to create an "activity series", the inverse of a reduction potential chart. While reduction charts are used more often, the "activity

In this lesson, students research and take on role as a contributing scientist to the development of the atomic model. Focus is on interaction between society and science and how they affect each

In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy

In this lesson, students will listen to a story about how crayons are made. Students will then observe the effects of temperature on matter as they make "new" crayons. This is the 2nd lesson in a

In this hands-on lesson, students work in groups as they will receive a variety of items; sketch and label each object, write their observations of the color, shape, texture and other unique

In this hands-on lesson, students design and execute an experiment to maximize caffeine extraction when making coffee. The caffeine testing is conducted using a Spectrometer. The focus of this lesson

In this hands-on and engaging lesson, students build and launch model rockets. They explore the forces acting on the rocket and design an experiment They predict the time to apogee based on

In this lesson, students will design and create a model of a moon lander that can land smoothly on the surface of the moon. Students will learn about the mission to the moon and how engineers designed

Around two thousand years ago, weighing an elephant without advanced equipment posed a challenging problem. However, a clever solution was devised by a seven-year-old named Cao Cong. He ingeniously

In this set of hands-on labs, students will explore friction and the effects of different types of surfaces on motion. They will have a chance to test motion with cars as well as create hover board

In this lesson, students will use the story of "The Three Little Superpigs and the Gingerbread Man" as the context to complete a hands-on STEM activity where they are responsible for building a trap

In this engaging lesson, students will construct a small experiment demonstrating the relationship of momentum with mass, and velocity, then record that data. Students will take the data and create a

In this lesson students will show the proportion of freshwater compared to saltwater on Earth. Students will define the problem of having a limited amount of fresh water using evidence gathered from

More VR integration in the classroom, oh my! This is the second lesson of a two-day exploration of chain reactions. On day one, students received a general overview of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg

VR in the classroom, oh my! This Day 1 lesson provides students an introductory understanding of chain reactions, Rube Goldberg and his machines, the Oculus (Meta) Quest 2, the online game Dynamic
