STEM Lesson Plans

This is lessons 4-6 in the Basic Handling Unit. This unit culminates in the Attitude Test in which students apply all of the Handling lessons to an actual flight. This is three short lessons (2-5

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 the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.

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

This is the third of a 4-lesson unit on the North American Kestrel. Students will follow blueprints to measure out the sides of a professionally designed nesting box, then help put the box together.

In this lesson, students will collect flower and leaf samples from around their school campus and return to the lab to conduct chromatography to separate pigments in their samples. Students will learn

Students will develop and create a sail option that will propel their lego cars.

GROWING CRYSTALS PART 1, A lesson that focuses on the different types of formation of crystalline solid, its properties and the attractive forces responsible to it during chemical bonding. It is

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 has students watching a baby plant and seeing what it will grow into. Students are able to compare the seedling with an adult plant, and determine how the plant cycles from seed to adult

Students will use solar panels to transfer solar energy to a fountain. Students will be able to explore and demonstrate the functioning of a solar energy fountain.

Students will use solar panels to convert solar energy into electricity. This solar energy is transmitted through cables to the motor and then to the fountain. The fountain pressure increases and
