STEM Lesson Plans

Students will be learning about adaptation. Students will participate in a project where they will see if seeds can grow in a bag without soil and natural sunlight. They will also compare and contrast

Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read

This a hands on activity that will have the students measure the frequency of a resonating glass bottle by using their cells phones. They will then combine with other groups to play a well known song

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency

The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of

Aerospace to Sports explores the concept of how aerospace engineering has impacted sports, specifically exploring the design of golf balls. Students learn about how the industry employs engineering

This lesson plan is designed to allow students to express their creativity while applying science, technology and math concepts by designing their own dream house.

This lesson includes literacy, math, and art about snowflakes. Within math, students will dive into an analysis of angles within a common snowflake. Students will listen to an informational text about

Students will be creating their own arcade games with recycled materials. One idea can change the world! During this activity students will be going through the engineering design process.

This is a modified version of the popular Birthday Polynomial project for Algebra 2/ Pre-Calculus. Students create and analyze a polynomial and its first and second derivatives using technology.

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.

Students are put into groups of 3 or 4. As a group they create an animal cell model and then create a slide show naming and describing the organelles of an animal cell.

This ice core activity takes place within a lesson on climate change that utilizes PBS Learning Media. The teacher will build ice cores for students to investigate and gather data. Students will use

In this lesson, students will identify the significance mean, median, and mode while collecting data and making observations about a collection of items in their home. Making these connections will

In this activity, students will perform a hands-on, inquiry-based investigation of the tradeoffs involved in hard rock mining. The object is to purchase and develop a mine, safeguarding the

This engaging lesson is all about reverse engineering! Students will read and discuss the hook “A.I. Apocalypse”. They learn all about reverse engineering during this project as they determine a

Students develop an understanding of patterns and how genetic information is passed from generation to generation. They also develop the understanding of how genetic information and environmental

In this lesson, students will calculate the surface area of rectangular prism, first constructed and then deconstructed and make observations about any potential differences. Making these connections

Students will learn about energy and how it relates to growing plants in this first part of a 4 part lesson. Materials needed: copy of parent signature form, student handbook. Agenda: What is Energy

Students will learn and explain about pollination and how it helps plants to grow and reproduce. After reading about pollinators, students will collaborate and communicate effectively with their peers

The students will create a Three Sisters Garden by participating in a teamwork activity, listening to a read aloud, watching a video, creating a diagram, planting the garden, and creating a video

In this lesson, students will identify the significance of the shapes found in and around their home. Making these connections will provide a real-world framework to their understanding of mathematics

This is a lesson plan based on playlist model where students will learn Heat transfer by using a play list and picking the topics according to their own pace. The students will need a computer/ laptop
