STEM Lesson Plans

Introduction to Robotic programming using the Wonder Cue robot with the blaster. Using Block coding or Javascript, teach the students to create a series of instructions that move the robot through a

In this lesson plan the students learn to design, construct and determine weight loads capabilities for their project.

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.

This STEM lesson combines Math, Science and a bit of Engineering. Students will walk through the process of raising chicks to hens. Using pretend chicks and research to collect data about how they

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house. Materials: Computer with internet access for

Simple Machine: Pulley, helping Rapunzel escape the tower

What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along

Students will investigate the difference between amplitude and frequency to see which one transfers more energy. Students will collect data, graph their data, and complete a written conclusion.

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

Students will discover: I put rotted food into a container with earthworms, where did the food go?

Students will discover: What will happen if animals are eliminated in ecosystems and food webs?

Students will discover: Why do organisms depend on other organisms for survival?

This lesson will help children discover the phenomena: People say I have so much energy all the time and that the sun gives plants energy, is it the same?

Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read

This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song

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

Students will read an article about new innovative inventions. Students will research an issue they care about. Some examples would be climate change, trash, world hunger, forest fires, pollution, etc

This lesson is based on a Navajo Story: "The Three Little Sheep". The story connects to the famous, "The Three Little Pigs". Students become engineers and create different dwelling models: a grass hut

This lesson focuses on developing an understanding of forms of energy and energy transfer/transformation within the system of a rubber band powered car. Students will construct a car using soda

In this lesson, students will learn about projectile motion and the factors that affect it by designing and building a simple catapult. Through hands-on experimentation, students will investigate how

Students design and test a device for an egg drop in this engaging and hands-on lesson. They will document their data, make modifications to designs, and assess what the outcome is of their own drop

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency
