STEM Lesson Plans

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic

This is lesson 8 of 8 Basic Handling Lessons. This is the culmination Attitude Test in which students apply all of the Handling lessons to an actual flight. This is a 3 minute flight simulator lesson

This is lesson 7 of 8 Basic Handling Lessons. This unit culminates in the Attitude Test in which students apply all of the Handling lessons to an actual flight. This is a 3 minute flight simulator

Students work as engineers using the Engineering Design Process to design and create a parachute that will safely land a "rover" on Mars! This STEM activity uses easy-to-gather materials for parachute

This lesson has students investigate how forces and motion affect a car fueld by CO2 gas. Students have a design challenge to utilize their science knowledge to create a successful car.

Day 3 of 3 in a skateboard building unit. Student will apply Newton's law skateboarding, deconstruct and construct a basic skateboard, learn basic safety and outdoor riding rules.

This is lesson plan two of three in a skateboard building unit that applies Newtons Laws to skateboarding. Students will learn the parts of a skateboard, construct a simple skateboard, learn safety

In this lesson, students will observe the different ways a sheet of paper can fall. They will face two challenges with paper, the final challenge being to create and test a parachute for a small

This plan is meant for 3 days of work. Two books go with this plan. Two types of model rockets are included in this plan. Discussions and entries into a STEM Notebook are part of this plan.

This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.

In this engaging elementary school lesson, students use the engineering design cycle to identify and solve problems, incorporating technology while reflecting on their process and sharing their

This lesson is perfect when celebrating Easter. The students will be engaged in creating a trap for the bunny. The story will be read first and then the magic happens after.

A 4-8 grade STEM lesson 4 of 4 skills improvement and evaluation. Career outlook for UAV/Drone Pilots, paths to becoming a commercial drone pilot. A review of flight dynamics, and the steps that had

This lesson plan describes the different process points of construction of a Truss Bridge and why these bridges are useful. This lesson plan includes objectives, assessments and some samples of Truss

This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks

This is a detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.

Simple Machine: Pulley, helping Rapunzel escape the tower

Using pumpkins, design and create Cinderella's carriage. This lesson can demonstrate Potential Energy turning into Kinetic Energy

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students will read the novel, "The Lion of Mars", design & launch paper rockets, and then design a sustainable Mars Colony inspired by the novel. This hands-on lesson is scheduled to take around 15
