STEM Lesson Plans

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

Students will create an original design using only plastic bags in this creative lesson. They will reuse plastic bags to create a useful product they could sell. Students will use evidence to

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

Students will create Rube Goldberg machines from simple machines in this engaging lesson. The teacher can determine materials such as wooden planks, paper towel rolls, bottle caps, marbles, cardboard

Summary- Students will redesign their egg protector for trial 2, record their observations, and respond to overall reflection questions for the project. Materials- Science Notebook Pencil/Pen

In this unit, students will study the effects of atmospheric pressure and air resistance on objects to engineer a landing apparatus to land cargo in space. They will then write a Claim based on

In this engaging lesson, students will use 2-3 days to build a land yacht with Lego BricQ sets. They will test different winds and angles, and then use their lab to introduce Newton's third law of

This lesson teaches students about lines, angles, measuring and naming angles, using a protractor, and engages students by having them build a catapult and measure best angle for furthest launch.

In this engaging lesson, students build a catapult using spoons, popsicle sticks and rubber bands. Students will be able to describe what a catapult is, the use, and vocabulary words.

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 will learn about the physics of motion and force and use those to create a mini-golf course hole that has obstacles and an environmental awareness theme.

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
