STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is about watersheds. It includes the presentation of the lessons, STEM sheet to use, and enrichment activity for students. The lesson includes a branching out activity of their own

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

This lesson plan is the nitty-gritty principles of roller coaster. It can be taught and used for 4th grade and 5th grade students. The first part of the lesson is the discussion of the principles

In this lesson students will use simulations to collect data about changes in specific traits of a population over time. Students will then use the data create graphical models to explain natural

First students will learn what engineers do and a few different strategies they might use to build strong buildings. Students will create a structure of any shape using given materials to withhold two

The lesson introduces Boolean operations as a tool for searching and then relates the effect of the Boolean operator to the similar effect in Boolean logic as a means to introduce Boolean logic and

A lower elementary (Kindergarten through 4th grade) lesson plan to explore what the robot can and can not do, to program the robot to complete a task, and to collaboratively work as a team to complete

In this lesson, students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. They will also accurately complete an itemized

Students code robots to match different distance time graphs. For each graph the teacher stamps their paper and they move on to the next more difficult one. Students will be able to replicate the

Students will begin to construct their containers for their eggs. Students will work together to build their egg protector container using the materials they brought in and that were provided for them

This lesson is 3 of 4 of a unit about habitats and animal adaptations. In this project, students will build a model of a habitat and an animal they created in lesson 2. The animal will need to have

In this hands-on lesson, students learn how to get their drone into the air. It covers hovering, yaw, roll, and pitch. Before the students launch their drones, there is a discussion about preparing

This is part one of a design challenge where students are asked to brainstorm a device that allows energy to be transferred for as long as possible, similar to a Newton's Cradle. Students use the

This engaging lesson is designed to simulate how scientists look for patterns in evidence to make claims, and back them up with reasoning. There are some important takeaways that students will make

This hands-on lesson covers balanced and unbalanced forces. Students use the skills they have already been taught to apply them to a real-world situation involving rockets. You will need 500mL bottles

Understand and implement the steps of the Design Thinking Process. Students will also be using their knowledge of energy to design a balloon-powered car that travels the farthest.

• Student teams will work together in small groups to identify important story elements in a familiar story, then develop a plot diagram using Bee-Bots. • In a small group, students will use code to

Students will begin designing a container to keep and egg safe when dropped from various heights. As they begin the lesson, students will watch a video and discuss science and engineering practices

Students will create their own cut-out stop motion animation videos using the iMotion app. Students will learn about stop motion animation, plan and create a storyboard, and then actually engineer the

Students will participate in an engineering challenge or STEM activity that connects to a read aloud. They will be able to ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation

In this lesson, students will collaborate and communicate effectively with peers to complete an engineering design challenge using the Engineering Design Process. Students will be using technology to

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Students will explore the different types of grow mediums and grow lights used in the systems

Students in this lesson will be recording weather data for the city that each student has chosen for 2-3 weeks. Students will be able to record and analyze weather patterns for a selected city

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationships for Circular Motion for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment, collect data
