STEM Lesson Plans

This set of lessons allows students to model the decay chains of radioactive isotopes and relate the mathematical patterns and scientific concepts together in a innovative and interactive way.

This lesson is part 2 of 2, Days 3 and 4. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students have discovered the inventor and become familiar

This lesson is part 1 of 2. This lesson is set up to have students explore the friction bridge designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. Students first discover the inventor and become familiar with his life

Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using a one of six different flours provided. This lesson focuses on one of the data collection

Over the course of the next 15 days, students will have the opportunity to create a sourdough starter using one of six different flours provided. This lesson is the first of three lessons that takes

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.

In this lesson, students will build upon their prior knowledge of observational drawing by adding a digital microscope. They will explore, review photos they take, decide on a question to investigate

This lesson plan helps students to use inquiry to develop a lab to test salt vs sugar solutions in how far they will travel through the gel. Inquiry labs are great for those who like to be creative

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

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.

This lesson plan engages students in beginner composting. Students will discuss, design, and create a homemade composter. The lesson will also engage students in collecting and recording data to

In this lesson students will learn how to maintain their drones: replace batteries and propellers. The students will conduct a propeller altering experiment to determine the effects of changing the

What lives underground? Kinder- 2nd grade students will dig into the life found underground in this 3-part series. In this lesson, students will dig underground to extract soil, investigate/evaluate

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

The lesson plan challenges students to integrate research, agricultural principles, and engineering concepts, sparking their creativity in designing efficient and sustainable hydroponic setups. From

Students will understand the concept of Scoville units, learn about the scale's origin, and explore the factors contributing to the heat of peppers. They will also engage in hands-on activities to

Students work together to measure the lengths and angles of a maze in order to create a scale drawing of it. They then use EdScratch to program their Edison robots to navigate the maze.

This engaging lesson is all about scale factor. Students will draw different items to scale. There is a Three Act Math, a DESMOS activity, and a Quizizz link to go along with the lesson!

A Makerspace experience for the Holidays! (Part 2) Students are invited to launch their very own startup business just in time for the holidays! In your Makerspace group, invite students to brand

Students will collaborate to design a school map to include living and nonliving 3-dimensional objects. Students will use a Cubetto or Sphero device to navigate through a student created map

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and test a windsock that can tell the direction and relative speed of the wind.

After students collected authentic data from their class and defined the problem related to trash, students follow through with solving the problem using the engineering process. In the second half of

Students work their way through the first two parts of the engineering process in order to get a deeper understanding of an environmental problem- trash. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is certainly

In this kindergarten computer science lesson, students explore algorithms through a playful "Looping Train Adventure," connecting everyday actions to the way computers follow instructions in a
