STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson plan is the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

This lesson plan is about the phases of the moon. It can be used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. This is a hands-on activity that would help students explore the explanations about the movement

In this lesson students will use simulations to collect data about changes in specific traits of a population over time. Students will then use the data create graphical models to explain natural

First students will learn what engineers do and a few different strategies they might use to build strong buildings. Students will create a structure of any shape using given materials to withhold two

This is a third grade lesson focused on structure and function. In the lesson, students observe, investigate, and research chickens to create a model focused on the parts of a chicken and their

Students explore the world of the lesser long-nosed bat through a self-paced hyperdoc. This unassuming bat is responsible for pollinating some the most magnificent desert cacti. It faced extinction in

The lesson introduces Boolean operations as a tool for searching and then relates the effect of the Boolean operator to the similar effect in Boolean logic as a means to introduce Boolean logic and

In this lesson, students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. They will also accurately complete an itemized

This middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

Students become engineers and create a modified adaptive device after disassembling and assembling eyewear and creating a new adaptive device in this engaging lesson. This real-world problem-solving

In this lesson students will explore engineering skills in the construction of hot air balloons. They will test their creations to see if they will fly/float and make adjustments if needed.

In this lesson, students are challenged to design and build a controlled-release tablet, which will be made from different colored bath tablets and a variety of water-soluble plastics. First, they

This is Task 3 (Lesson 3) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project entitled “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room”. Students will construct a 3D model of both an animal cell and human cell. They will

This 90-minute lesson is focused on ELA with integration on Science and Engineering. The lesson will discuss about Ecology for Kids which target skill is getting the main idea and supporting details

In this engaging lesson, students create simple paper models of water sheds in class and explore hazards to waterways through an online interactive. They make connections between water stewardship and

In this hands-on lesson, students use the engineering design process to create a balloon powered car that travels at least 5 feet. This is a fun and engaging way for students to experience science in

For this 90 minute lesson students are going to watch an introductory video about how we inherit features and then they will do research on a website. In the project they will fill out a survey

Students in this lesson will set up an investigation to see if a salt lamp affects plant growth. They will use what they know about photosynthesis and cellular respiration to make sure the plants have

In this lesson, students will watch seeds grow on a damp sponge by measuring, journaling and observing. They will observe how the roots and shoots grow.

This is Task 1 (Lesson 1) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room.” Students will be constructing a mini zip-line after reviewing concepts. Students will

This is Task 4 (Lesson 4) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room." Students will construct a marshmallow device to propel marshmallows at force and collect

This lesson involves three scenarios where you calculate the frequencies of the dominant and recessive alleles. You will compare these frequencies for the 3 scenarios and discuss how they changed

This lesson starts by discussing/learning what is matter, the states of matter, and the properties of matter. It continues with what is mass and how to measure it. Two labs follow: density of solids

In this lesson there is an emphasis on explaining how magnets have a force that can move other objects at a distance. Students will first watch a video in which they will be amazed by some magnetic
