STEM Lesson Plans

The lesson plan consists of three labs that students can perform to investigate photosynthesis by preparing a slide and observing the chloroplast, test for the presence of glucose in leaves and

This lesson is about the effect of enzymes on the rate of chemical reactions in biological systems.

Coding a robot to solve a math problem has made math even more fun! In this lesson, students will work with a partner to write a code that will enable the robot of their choice to successfully solve

In this lesson, Kindergarten students create a program that will teach their robot how to solve a simple addition problem. This lesson reviews prior learning students have already received regarding

ArtBot is an innovative educational tool designed to introduce students to the fascinating world of electric and magnetic interactions through the medium of art. This unique robot is equipped with

This lesson is intended to be the second lesson within a series. After the first lesson, exploring the transfer of power within a system, Students utilize this lesson, lesson 2, to explain how and

After completing a unit on weather, students will be challenged to research, design, construct and attach a snow plow to their Edison robot. Then they will create a scratch code that will navigate

Predicting the pH of an experiment - this is a more of an advanced lab for students that have lab experience or can be used as a demonstration by the teacher. Calculating Molarity. Great pre-lesson to

In this lesson, students use the Kepler’s Laws PhET Simulation to collect data on the period and average radius of the planetary orbits. They graph and analyze that data to derive Kepler’s 3rd Law.

This lesson is PART 4 of a four-lesson unit, which focuses on futures thinking, the phenomenon of electricity, closed-system agriculture, and water as a renewable energy resource. “The City of Ember”

Students will explore beginning coding thru binary coding and creating a name bracelet.

Students will learn about the light sensor on the Circuit Playground Express and how it can be used as an automatic switch to turn a device on or off. They will learn about the thermometer sensor on

Students will learn and recall about the different parts and components of an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express. Students will be able to program an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express

Part one of a four part project exploring the movement of the brain upon impact in everyday activities. This lesson uses Pocketlab Voyager sensors to analyze brain movement in high impact activities

This is a hands-on activity where students can visualize, using Skittles as atoms, the concept of balancing chemical reactions. Many students get thrown off by the fact that products often look, smell

By the end of this lesson, students will understand the unique adaptations of desert tortoises and the importance of conserving their habitat. Students also engineer a habitat for the desert tortoise.

In this engaging lesson, students explore the concept of position (Hayu') vs. time (nkez) graphs through a hands-on car motion (Buggy) activity. Using the Buggy on a marked track, students measure and

The Parachute design lesson involves students learning about the engineering design process, air resistance, and parachute principles before planning and constructing their own parachutes. Through

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

Launch into a fun activity! Students will be building a rocket, then blow into the straw inserted and watch how high their rocket flies. This fun activity can be done indoor or outdoor. Students can

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
