STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson plan is designed for 8th graders to introduce the periodic table as well as learning how molecules are formed and what they look like. Students will engage in a Science, Technology, and

In this lesson, students will first learn the importance of using reliable tools when gathering data in an experiment. When given common acidic and basic substances, students will then begin to

Students will create their roller coaster model, test the transfer of energy, measure the distance of how far their marble traveled and compare their distance to the distance of others. *Printable

Students will read the original version of The Three Little Pigs and then explore different versions of the story. After exploring, they will complete a compare & contrast chart on two or three of the

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.

This is a hands-on lesson for both science and math exploration. Students use tape to explore the forces between charges and come up with a mathematical expression for how that works! They create a

This engaging lesson is a forensic lesson. Can the students identify if the grandkids belong to the long-lost grandparents or a very terrible war? Students will run gel electrophoresis and compare

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

In this engaging lesson, students will explore sound waves and how distance is a factor in the intensity of the sound.

In this lesson students learn how CRISPR works by running a gene editing lab. They get to explore the components of the gene editing system, make experimental predictions. Transform bacteria with

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about the types of microorganisms in water and how to sterilize the water. They analyze the data and create graphs. Students participate in a whole class and

In this build challenge, students will work in teams build a small creature out of recycled materials that serves a purpose. This outstanding lesson is easily customizable to engage in various science

This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 3. In this 8-week project, 6th-grade students will collaborate in small groups to create eco-friendly inventions that aim to reduce their carbon footprints and

This is the 1st lesson in a series of 3. 6th-grade students will work in groups to create eco-friendly inventions that help the environment and tackle climate change. They will research ideas, make

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

Students will create a 3D model of a landform in small groups, record facts about the landform, use their ipads to take a picture of the landform and voice record themselves presenting about it

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 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

This hands-on lesson shows how you can use LEGOs (Spike Prime kits) and coding to demonstrate how gravity works and what can be done to counter the gravitational pull.
