STEM Lesson Plans

The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.

The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density

In this lesson, students will watch a video discussing how birds have different beaks depending on what they eat. Students will then have the opportunity to examine the differences in chickens and

Have you ever wondered how ducks stay warm and dry while swimming in cold water? Students will create a duck and then be able to test their theory!

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for

You've crash-landed on an alien planet and must find a way to survive with the help of native flora and fauna. Students will document alien life-forms in a field journal and use that information to

For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype

Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a

This lesson give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical

This lesson allows the students to experience the life of an interior designer. The students will be tasked to use their knowledge on area and perimeter as they design a layout for their own classroom

After learning about Ancient Egypt, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Egyptian Pyramid Prototype. Each group will be challenged to build a 4-sided pyramid that

This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are

After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will examine the Gold King Mine spill on the Animas River in Colorado before creating a model watershed in order to develop an explanation of human

Students use Google Earth Timelapse to observe changes to glaciers over time before completing an investigation on the effects of melting sea ice and land ice on global sea level rise. This

This lesson is designed to have students investigate how objects, of different masses, will be affected when dropped to Earth. The lesson begins with a phenomena video - this video connects the idea

This is a detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house from Sketchup to Graph. Materials: Oversized Graph

This lesson is about basic school/home gardening. The lesson involves Science, Math, Technology and Engineering content. Students will be taught how to make basic gardens. They will need seeds, garden
