STEM Lesson Plans

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 will be designing and building a strong house able to withstand hurricanes and tropical storms. In the lesson, students will compare their work with the actions of a character from If I Built

Students explore the relationship between the speed(rate of travel) of an object, the distance it travels, and the amount of time it travels for. Teachers may use: A- Air rockets(from a previous

In this lesson, students go on a nature walk, notice nature, and increase their observation skills. They will identify different plant types and make connections to the plant’s needs: sunlight, soil

Summary: Students are coding and observing robots to try and determine all forces acting on the robot. Materials; Robots that can be coded to move in different ways. Laptops to code. Agenda The

Lesson Summary: 2nd Grade students listen to the story; Sadie Sprocket Builds a Rocket and reflect how they would create and design a space lander/rover. We watch the video; Curiosity; Mars Rover and

Summary: In groups students will construct a Rube Goldberg device made completely out of found objects that includes at least 5 simple machines and students will identify the energy transformations

This lesson is based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Students will focus on building a chair where a pound of dumbbell will be used to test the durability of the chair because in the story

Summary: This lesson uses the children's picture book Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty and can easily be adapted for any grade level. Students will listen to the story of Rosie Revere and

This is the 2nd part in a 4-lesson series. This lesson is on the fins and how they work with balanced and unbalanced forces. Students will need the worksheet, the article for read and reflect, foam

In this hands-on lesson, students investigate how a solar panel can change energy from sunlight into electrical energy. They also determine how water flows out of the fountain. With the use of a

List of Materials- Science Notebook, Pencil/Pen, Reflection Questions Summary- Students are reflection and revising their egg drop protectors from the previous lesson. Agenda- Reflect on the first egg
