STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will get creative with materials to rescue an unfortunate worm. After completing this activity students will have a much better concept of what the 'T" in STEM really means

In this lesson, students will work together to identify the systems by using a preserved frog. The systems that will be studied are the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory system. Prior to these

In this lesson students will learn about the 3 types of matter and go on a matter scavenger hunt. After the scavenger hunt students will make graphs to show the different types of matter that they

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 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

Students will explore the role that decomposers play in the nitrogen cycle. First students will gather information through research and activities to construct a model of the nitrogen cycle. Then

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.

This thematic unit has four lessons which introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, students will learn how to

This thematic unit has four lessons which will introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, student will learn how to

This lesson allows students to work in teams to determine the specific function of an organelle in the cell. Rather than having students try and memorize the function of each organelle, the focus is

It's 3D printing time! In this lesson, students will design a creation all on their own and input their design into a 3D printing program. They will then print their creations and become a maker!

Students will gather information to develop a model about the essential elements needed by plants in order to grow and survive in this hands-on lesson. They will then apply this knowledge by

This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step-by-step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring

This lesson is designed to create a 3D model and circle graph that will represent where water in different parts of the hydrosphere is located. The purpose is to get students thinking and problem

This lesson allows students to create their own ecosystem to gain a better understanding of how each part works with each other and why they are so important. They will show proficiency when they

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

Students make a terrarium from rocks, soil, and plants to understand how 4 spheres and water cycle work in a closed system.
