STEM Lesson Plans

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by avoiding their predators. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able to

Students will be able to code a simple program using EdScratch in order to survive in the ecosystem by finding the sources of food. Using Edison as an animal in the food chain, students will be able

This lesson will take 2 60 minute class periods. Students will watch a video, read a book, and have class discussions about earthquakes. This lesson will walk students through the design process

Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while

Students are introduced to a project that asks them to use classroom materials to create a new form of vision technology. Students review how the eye works, create a plan, and share that plan with

Students after learning how to use EDBlocks and EDScratch programming for Edison Robots will go to a younger class and teach those students how to do it too.

First of Four. Introduction to how Edison Robots work. Students will self discover some of the possibilities of what the robots can do.

Electricity and magnetism are fundamental to the workings of nearly every gadget, appliance, vehicle, and machine we use. This great 6th Grade lesson covers magnetic fields where students will be able

Design a helicopter out of paper only. Students will explore design and paper types.

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 will build the strongest boat they can using only aluminum foil. They will learn about engineering design, water displacement, the effects of gravity, decimal multiplication, and geometry.

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

Students design a 3D bubble wand in Tinkercad and print on a 3D printer.

How is Res going to collect samples from Mars? Can you use Edison to design a collector that can help Res collect Mars samples? In this lesson students will use Edison to design a sample collector

Phenomenal Forces and Motion is an amazing lesson which introduces students to the world of physics and Newton’s three laws of motion. Students will find out how some of the basic principles of

Students will focus is on the historical time period of 1763- 1900 CE. The objective is to select a historically accurate person and research the person's story. Then students will plan, create

The "Virtual Reality (VR) Exploration: Building a 3D Solar System" lesson is an exciting and immersive STEM experience designed for 8th-grade students. In this lesson, students delve into the world of

The "Solar-Powered Water Purification System" lesson is an engaging and hands-on STEM experience for 4th-grade students. In this lesson, students explore the importance of clean water and learn how

NASA needs Resilience to take pictures to send back to Earth for observation. Resilience needs a cell phone holder that can take pictures or videos from multiple views. Can you use Edison to design a

In this lesson students will discuss why they would use a 3D printer to create a planter pot? Students will also brainstorm "What features are important for a planter pot?" Finally students will

When Res lands on Mars she will encounter various terrain that she must navigate successfully. Can you create wheels that will help navigate her through the terrain? This is part one of a four part

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

This plan was created by me and used in my afterschool STEM club in January. It tests building a soda can heater. The plan begins with the story, Snowy Day, and brings into focus the need for heat and
