STEM Lesson Plans

Today students will continue their studies of simple block programming with the use of the Edison robot. Students will start using the barcode and then transition into block coding using Edscratch

Students will be able to learn how the hydraulic system works. With this in mind, you will be able to design a hydraulic marble game using materials provided. At the same time, they will be able to

Students will understand the basic principles of hydraulics by researching and presenting the topic to the class. Students will explore real-world applications and understand the basic hydraulic

Students will gain an appreciation of M.C. Escher's tessellation artwork and process and be inspired to create their own tessellation.This lesson combines math, art and technology by using an

This lesson includes having students design and build a wing to put onto a pre-built RC plane and fly it in circles (tethered). Requires previous RC knowledge.

Students will use Tinkercad's 3D Modeling tool to plan and design the layout for a school garden.

In this lab, we will be completing a set of tasks that will help us develop a better understanding of the formation and parts of both transverse and longitudinal waves.

Using the Sphero Bolts/Sparks to joust as a Medieval Knight. Students will understand the basics of Sphero Bolt and its programming environment.

Students will go through the process of counting pumpkin seeds and analyzing data through mean, median and mode as well as creating correlating graphs. Students will learn what causes fruit

This lesson includes academic areas for ELA, math, and coding. The lessons are completed with students in small groups effectively using their collaboration skills to completed the assingments and

This lesson teaches students what coding actually is and how it enables us to program robots to do specific tasks. Using a simulated coding activity, students will begin to understand how coding works

This lesson is an introduction to the Edison Robots and how they work with barcodes for coding. This lesson will give students the opportunity to become familar with the parts of the Edison as well as

Students will level up from player to designer to earn their publishing license... all through play! They will become experts in repairing, creating and publishing video games using the Gamestar

This is lesson 4 in a 4 part roller coaster project for 6th grade. In this lesson, students will create a news report on Canva to demonstrate the kinetic and potential energy in their roller coaster

This lesson uses the knowledge of circuits (lessons 1 and 2) to make a battery-powered car. We used a tutorial from Tinkercad and designed our own body of a car. Then, I printed their cars. They

This lesson shows how to make an electric car using a small motor and battery. Students created a car, attached a battery and on/off switch, and collected data. The data collection sheet is included

This lesson is an introduction to circuits. It teaches about what is a circuit and then applies what they learned in a variety of ways through centers. Then, they will apply what they learned about

This is a smaller part of a larger Digital Citizenship Unit. Students will spend time understanding the concept of a Digital Footprint and the long term consequences of a negative Digital Footprint

Students will create a Google slideshow presentation to document their progress through the engineering design process, which includes: researching the science of sound, then creating an instrument

This is a phenomena-based introduction to how emission spectra of elements and the connection to electrons and energy levels. Students first get to explore the emission spectra of several gases using

The math and research of hot cocoa. Students will find or use a teacher provided hot cocoa recipe and practice working with fractions to increase or decrease the recipe yield.

In the 5th-grade Paper Plane Aerodynamics lesson, students embark on an exciting journey into the world of flight. Through hands-on activities, they explore the fundamental principles of aerodynamics
