STEM Lesson Plans

In this engaging lesson, students will use 2-3 days to build a land yacht with Lego BricQ sets. They will test different winds and angles, and then use their lab to introduce Newton's third law of

In this engaging lesson, students build a catapult using spoons, popsicle sticks and rubber bands. Students will be able to describe what a catapult is, the use, and vocabulary words.

Summary - Students will be identifying the structures and functions of plant reproductive parts. Materials - Flowers, scissors, magnifying lenses, resource materials (internet/textbook)

Students will learn about the physics of motion and force and use those to create a mini-golf course hole that has obstacles and an environmental awareness theme.

This lesson plan is written for 7th grade science but can be modified to be used with any age group. Students will create petri dishes and will collect samples from bathrooms. Students will then

Students (over 2-3 days) use BricQ parts and pieces to create a lab to test how mass affects the distance a Lego piece will travel. This hands-on lesson was designed to introduce Newton’s law #2

In this hands-on lesson, students plan and build a bridge that can hold at least 6 pounds using popsicle sticks and hot glue. This lesson helps students understand load transfer of weight and the

This lesson took place in a 90 minute after school STEM club (could work in 2 - 45 minute class periods). Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on sample collection and analytical

Students will design and build the tallest tower/structure using candy/marshmallows and toothpicks.

This is a lesson plan based on playlist model where students will learn Heat transfer by using a play list and picking the topics according to their own pace. The students will need a computer/ laptop

Students will be using their science and math knowledge to engineer a golf course! This is a great way for students to use that knowledge in a real life way! Students get the chance to explore how

Students will use engineering practices to build a bridge to see how much weight their bridge will support. This lesson gives students a better understanding of how bridges are constructed and how

Who said candy?! In this hands-on lesson, students create rock candy using hot water and Kool-Aid flavoring. They will mix materials together and observe their creation.

Summary Each of the first two Basic Handling lessons is approximately 5 minutes in length. The onboard “Flight Instructor” will instruct student trainees on what they should be doing and interacting

Summary: Today we will observe and test five known mystery powders, identify examples of physical and chemical reactions to determine who committed the crime. Materials: 6 teaspoons or small spoons

Let's Fly is a great lesson for those teaching forces and motion. Find some balsa wood flyers through a STEAM source (ideas included), take your students outside to play and let them observe. Then

Students are challenged to complete a Ziggurat temple with a working marble run attached. It is a challenge for students to construct the longest working marble run.

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards : HS.P3U2.7 Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to

This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are

In this lesson, students will learn about air resistance, friction, and Newton's Second Law of Motion. They will then collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers to complete an

This lesson plan is designed for students to investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The lesson starts with a phenomena video and hypothesis question. It is followed by a

Students will better understand gas, liquid, and solid states of matter through hands-on learning stations and a create-a-toy design challenge.

This lesson will explore aerodynamics, rocketry, and principles of space flights. Students will act as engineers. Their job is to research, plan, design, and build a water bottle rocket that will

This is a CSI lesson where students solve mystery on Physical and Chemical change. This is an engaging way as students will conduct an investigation like a real crime investigator.
