STEM Lesson Plans

In this lesson, students will embark on an investigative journey to explore the geological history of their local community. Through hands-on activities and research, students will analyze rock layers

In this lesson the students will develop the code they previously planned out and will deploy their code to the drone. They will continue the process of reflection and iterative improvement. This is

In this lesson students will think back on all of the coding skills they have learned and will plan out their code to fly their drone through their maze based on sensor feedback. It is important that

This is the 4th lesson plan in a set of 4 lessons that correspond to the novel "Space Case" by Stuart Gibbs. In the last chapters of the book, we find that this main character encounters robotic arms

This is a lesson plan which draws importance to the ability of trees to carbon sequester in urban areas. As the world urbanizes more and more each day, it is important for our health to emphasize

This is part of an Ecology Unit, where students will create a food web using a set of cards. Students will identify the organisms in the different trophic levels, create a series of food chains, then

In this engaging lesson, students will delve into the fascinating world of energy transfer and efficiency by designing and building their own solar-powered devices. Through hands-on activities

This is a lesson geared toward junior high and high school classes to introduce students to the idea of cryptography and encryption. This lesson could be simplified for younger students by removing

In this outstanding lesson, students will design and build their own mini golf hole (first on scaled paper, then using cardboard and recycled materials). One obstacle must be made out of a net

In this engaging lesson, students will explore human regenerative medicines through the planarian's ability to regenerate. Planarians have specials cells that allow themselves to modify and regrow

What would you do if you were dropped into the wilderness, with nothing but what you could fit into a backpack, and had to survive harsh weather, a hostile location, and possibly aggressive wildlife

Students will create an engineering notebook that documents their progress through the engineering design process as it applies to their choice of project, either creating a toy from “trash” or a

In this lesson, students will relate The Very Hungry Caterpillar to a butterfly's life cycle. Students will learn the four main parts of a butterfly's life cycle and then use the indi robot to create

In this lesson, students will practice the skill of sequencing the main parts of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Students will then use the indi robot and coding tiles to create a model
