STEM Lesson Plans

Students will learn about kinetic and potential energy and how energy transfers. They will use that knowledge in order to collaborate with peers to create a roller coaster that will demonstrate this

In this lesson, students uses a PhET simulation to investigate the types of energy and its conservation. They then perform an actual experiment to prove or disprove their findings from the simulation.

In this lesson, students will listen to the story "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in order to understand the engineering project. Students will be introduced to the science concept of force and

Students studying 18th century portraits and way of life for diverse people in the founding era will use AI photo generators to create portraits of themselves. They will use the generation of their

This lesson is a follow up of lesson 1 of 2. Students will extend the focus of their cause by creating a logo and swag to be presented at an "EXPO" held at your school.

This lesson can be applied to multiple content areas. Following a discussion about what a cause is and looking at examples, students will work in groups to create a name, mission statement, and vision

An investigation into the function and uses of solar panels in agriculture - Agrivoltaics. Exploring how to get the most efficient use of your solar panels for your gardens.

After listening to Edwina The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct, students will explain how Reginald Von Hoobie Doobie reacts to events in the story by creating a Behavior-Over-Time Graph and

This lesson is an introduction to the sun’s energy. It is mainly an opportunity for students to explore resources and their environment independently or with partners. This allows students to

In this lesson students will learn how to maintain their drones: replace batteries and propellers. The students will conduct a propeller altering experiment to determine the effects of changing the

Students are constructing a cardboard control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors. In this lesson, students will begin working on the electrical

Students are constructing a cardboard remote control vehicle. Throughout this process, they will practice working with circuits and motors.

An unknown mass is hung from the "Y" shaped string. To the top of one side of the "Y", the string is connected to a force sensor/spring scale. Using the reading from the force sensor/spring scale and

After listening to Knuffle Bunny, students retell the story by coding a path on a map for Ozobot to follow.

This engaging lesson has students create a dynamic poem, using at least 3 particular Literary Elements, that describes the form and function of a particular Anatomy & Physiology term. The students

This project sets students up to explore animal anatomy and physiology with the idea of replacing a lost appendage (beak, leg, tail, fin, etc.) This is used in small groups of 2 or 3 over the course

A Makerspace experience for the Holidays! Students are invited to launch their very own startup business just in time for the holidays! In your Makerspace group, invite students to brand, create a

Students will be able to utilize multimedia resources, such as online simulations and interactive videos, to explain the process of natural selection and provide examples of how it leads to species

Engage 1st graders in hands-on exploration of simple machines! From classifying to building, this interactive lesson fosters STEM skills and real-world connections.

Saguaro cacti are collapsing in the Phoenix due to extreme heat and the urban island effect. Is there anyway to save them? This lesson allows students to investigate the factors contributing to the

Students will learn about the relationships between traits of humans and animals. They will use real examples to relate their vocabulary to their everyday lives and then put it into practice by

Students will model examples from 3 of the 4 Macromolecule Groups, then film themselves describing their models with specific information about both the model and the Macromolecular group it is from

Students learn about abstract art and engineering design techniques. They put them to use by creating a cardboard abstract likeness of themselves. They also use video to record their presentation and

In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of gear ratios and proportions. They will construct a working gear system and observe how the ratio between gears affects their motion. They will use
