STEM Lesson Plans

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

Using rock salt, ice, juice, and thermometers, students will use their inquiry framework to investigate how slushies are made and see if they are able to replicate the results of a traditional slushy

This middle school lesson covers the concept of air resistance. Students work in teams of 3 with a list of materials to design, build, and test 3 parachutes that will maximize the air resistance of a

The lesson gives an introduction to ASCII as part of a set of lessons that introduces computer science. Students learn what a computer can understand and create a bracelet in this introduction to

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

This is the first lesson in a series of 4. Students gain an understanding of the forces that are acting upon a drone when it is flying. They will learn about how thrust, weight, lift and drag work

This lesson plan focuses around 4 key topics, with activities for each. The plan covers renewable energy, solar energy, why solar energy is important, and what the children can do to conserve energy

In this lesson, students will create a model of the solar system by shrinking the dimensions of the distances. Students will read an informational text about the features of the planets and view a

This is the first lesson for the 5th grade life science unit involving environmental factors and organisms. The materials needed are two articles, highlighters, and either a laptop or tablet to

This lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to developing the graphical and mathematical relationship commonly known as Newton's 2nd Law for students in Grades 9-12. Students design an experiment

This lesson starts by discussing/learning what is matter, the states of matter, and the properties of matter. It continues with what is mass and how to measure it. Two labs follow: density of solids

Students will learn how to bring their images to life by coding movement and will use math skills.

This is Task 2 (Lesson 2) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room.” Students will be constructing Pangea with their group after reviewing the concepts.

In this engaging lesson, students will participate in an engineering challenge or STEM activity that connects to a read aloud. Students will communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans

This lesson involves students calculating the density of various objects of differing sizes of the same substance. Each student group will need a balance, a ruler, and/or a graduated cylinder. They

This is a two day lesson plan where the first day a local accountant will come and present about investments and their exponential properties, followed by a small activity to help make the nature of

Students are experimenting on their own to find out which materials would create the best water filter, after reading The Water Princess and discussing water scarcity. This engaging lesson combines

In this engaging lesson, students create simple paper models of water sheds in class and explore hazards to waterways through an online interactive. They make connections between water stewardship and

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

In this lesson, students will explore how biomes differ in different parts of the globe. They will identify differences between biomes and collaborate with peers to gather environmental science data

The students will work in groups to create a model of a roof that is able to survive a hurricane-like wind. Students learn about disaster preparedness, use the engineering design process to guide the

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
