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.

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

In this STEAM lesson plan students will engage in creative design using the Cricut. Students will be expected to design and build their own shoe design inspired by the Vans company. Through this

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

The purpose of this lesson and laboratory exercise is for students to gain an understanding of chemical reactions and how they work. The students will have the opportunity to see a reaction between

Students read The 3 Little Javelinas and experiment with making adobe bricks dwellings. Students analyze temperature data and describe benefits and drawbacks to using adobe.

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.

In this lesson, students will continue to build on their knowledge of electric circuits by testing materials for conductivity. Students will use Makey Makeys and random supplies to generate a

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

Students begin by using the Google Sunroof website to compare the cost/benefits of installing solar panels on a home's roof using different financial methods- buying, leasing and renting panels. After

Get ready to engage with some hands-on activities that will illustrate the mechanics of calculating both kinetic and potential energy and unravel the equations for these essential parts of physics.

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

This lesson begins the students' adventures into the wide world of drones. The lesson starts by exploring how drones (UAVs) are used in different fields. This lesson helps to gauge interest in

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

Students will be able to identify, understand and describe acute, obtuse, right, scalene, isosceles and equilateral triangles and use this knowledge to perform at the Sphero Rodeo! This lesson

Students will learn about the community in Yuma, AZ. We will read Roxaboxen and talk about the theme, Community. Students will use the design process to create a model and pitch it for a new park

The quintessential chemistry lab, Flame Test Lab! Students will use spectroscopes to identify the component photons of light that are emitted from Spectrum Tubes and Flame Tests. Students will learn

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 engaging lesson is designed for students to derive the rules for circuits in series by experimenting with different variables in simple circuits in series using the PhET DC Electricity simulation

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

In this lesson, students use a pHet simulation to derive Ohm's law. Students will be able to describe Ohm’s law with a formula and through written expression.

The lesson plan goes beyond the conventional boundaries of art and science, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields. Students will discover the synergies between art (A) and STEM
