STEM Lesson Plans

A 4-8 grade STEM lesson 4 of 4 skills improvement and evaluation. Career outlook for UAV/Drone Pilots, paths to becoming a commercial drone pilot. A review of flight dynamics, and the steps that had

Growing Crystals Part 2 is a unique lesson that has an emphasis on the synthetic growing of crystals in the laboratory. This activity also focuses on investigating the process of how synthetic

This lesson plan describes the different process points of construction of a Truss Bridge and why these bridges are useful. This lesson plan includes objectives, assessments and some samples of Truss

This lesson is lesson 3 of 4 so it is designed to be used in conjunction with the two previous lessons. The students will continue using their newly acquired drone flying skills with both DroneBlocks

This is a detailed math and engineering based lesson plan that covers the processes of building and testing an Archimedes screw for water movement. Students will be working in a STEM summer camp in

Students will compare two non-fiction texts about the Mars Rover, Opportunity. They will then use their knowledge of Computer Science and coding to develop a code instructing a robot to traverse an

Introduction to VR, AR, and MR technologies that could change the way we work, teach, entertain, vacation, and socially interact. This lesson starts bringing students up to speed on the current state

Students will build an obstacle course for a robot to traverse using geometry concepts. They will build prisms & cylinders and calculate volume and surface area. Once their obstacle course is built

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house from Sketchup to Graph. Materials: Oversized Graph

This lesson is about basic school/home gardening. The lesson involves Science, Math, Technology and Engineering content. Students will be taught how to make basic gardens. They will need seeds, garden

Students will investigate the difference between amplitude and frequency to see which one transfers more energy. Students will collect data, graph their data, and complete a written conclusion.

This lesson, adapted from NOAA, focuses on tides. Students pretend to be a ship captain delivering materials to a construction company. However, their ship must go under a bridge. Students must find

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They

This lesson invites students to sort and filter a spreadsheet of Wordle scores in order to answer questions through data analysis.

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

This lesson is based on a Navajo Story: "The Three Little Sheep". The story connects to the famous, "The Three Little Pigs". Students become engineers and create different dwelling models: a grass hut

Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is

This is part of an introduction to EdScratch using Edison Robots. Students will model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on experience for students to explore life science concepts using

This lesson is an introduction to Tangible Coding and Sequencing to model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on way to incorporate coding and robots with life science concepts. This is a 2-part

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

This lesson is an introduction to CAD, possibly leading up to 3D printing. The idea is to be familiar with CAD and more specifically the TinkerCAD application.
