STEM Lesson Plans

Classes will build three different types of rockets, guess which style will have the highest altitude, launch and calculate results based on right triangle math!

In this engaging lesson, students determine the period of rotation for the flying pig toy using formulas derived throughout the circular motion unit.

In this creative math lesson, students will use their knowledge of special right triangles to create a unit circle on a real world 2D or 3D object!

In this creative lesson, students will digitally create objects on a four-quadrant background and use the unit circle reference angles to demonstrate the angles and radians their object are at.

This is a two day lesson plan where a local contractor comes in and presents on building roofs and on snow load code.The second day is an activity where the students test out different slopes and

In this engaging lesson, students build a model rocket. They design an experimental procedure based on their understanding of the forces acting on the rocket. They predict values using a flight

This is a high-school level hands-on project that allows students to build their own working sundial, make predictions and assess their accuracy. This lesson ties in with the study of Kepler's Laws.

In this hands-on lesson, students from the Trigonometry class construct a sundial and see the experimental application of Trigonometry. Student will not just delve into trigonometry, but they will

An unknown mass is hung from the "Y" shaped string. To the top of one side of the "Y", the string is connected to a force sensor/spring scale. Using the reading from the force sensor/spring scale and

The lesson is primarily about building a Lego or any block tower with a good foundation. This can be done in a group of 5 - 7 students. In my case I am considering 7th and 8th grade class to perform

This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards : HS.P3U2.7 Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct an improvised clinometer which they can use in estimating height of trees, flagpoles and the like! They will collaborate in drawing, measuring

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 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
