STEM Lesson Plans

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

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

In this unique and engaging lesson, students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes. They will collaborate and communicate effectively with their

In this lesson, students will understand the impact of oil spills in the ocean. They will work cooperatively to come up with solutions and materials to clean up a simulated oil spill. Students will

Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about

This lesson includes literacy, math, and art about snowflakes. Within math, students will dive into an analysis of angles within a common snowflake. Students will listen to an informational text about

What are the parts of a plant? What is pollination? What parts are involved in pollination? What happens when a bee or another pollinator flies from flower to flower? Why is pollination important? How

This lesson plan is designed to teach students about Newton's 3rd Law of Motion through hands-on experimentation. Students will build cars and test the effects of collisions to gain a deeper

This lesson plan walks you through our engineering of a garden box and extended lesson of our plant growth.

Students will create 3D Models of a water form. Learners will record a photo of their model, write and type or record information about their model via iPad or tablet. Students will record a learning

This is a modified version of the popular Birthday Polynomial project for Algebra 2/ Pre-Calculus. Students create and analyze a polynomial and its first and second derivatives using technology.

Students who have been studying logarithms can apply them using a chemistry lab to discover the pH of acetic acid (white vinegar) and even compare this to other acids.

Students are put into groups of 3 or 4. As a group they create an animal cell model and then create a slide show naming and describing the organelles of an animal cell.

This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons

Students use a constant velocity, battery powered vehicle to determine the relationship between position and time. They use their results to determine the formula for speed (change in position/time).

In this lesson, students will create their own golden record that may travel throughout our solar system and beyond. The Golden Record acts as a time capsule and students collaborate which popular

Classes will prepare several garden bins for planting. By using a tape measure, students take into consideration the recommended distances of seed planting described on the seed packet and the

In this lesson, students will identify the significance mean, median, and mode while collecting data and making observations about a collection of items in their home. Making these connections will

Analyze and interpret data they have collected from an owl pellet dissection to answer a question. Use a dichotomous key to identify bones of prey species found in an owl pellet. List of Materials owl

In this lesson, students go on a nature walk, notice nature, and increase their observation skills. They will identify different plant types and make connections to the plant’s needs: sunlight, soil

The students will create a Three Sisters Garden by participating in a teamwork activity, listening to a read aloud, watching a video, creating a diagram, planting the garden, and creating a video

Summary: Students are coding and observing robots to try and determine all forces acting on the robot. Materials; Robots that can be coded to move in different ways. Laptops to code. Agenda The

In this lesson, students will calculate the surface area of rectangular prism, first constructed and then deconstructed and make observations about any potential differences. Making these connections
