STEM Lesson Plans

This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car

Students learn about passive solar energy and design and build a model of a passive solar house.

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout the unit, you will be introduced to the SDG principles and renewable/non renewable

This unit will pair the popular game of Minecraft with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Throughout the unit, you will be introduced to the SDG principles and design process where you

The "I've Got your Six! Programming Sensors for the Blind Community" is an empathy based project that teaches students to program electronic circuits. It is designed for the beginner in mind to walk

Review of Newton’s Laws of Motion Review of potential and kinetic energy. Review of transformational energy. How does mass impact kinetic energy? What is a chain reaction? What is a Rube Goldberg

Potential and kinetic energy. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Transformational energy The history, types, and functions of water wheels Renewable energy? Calculating rate of revolution Sketch and design

This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.

In this lesson the students will apply the knowledge of thermal energy to design, build and test a container that keeps cold beverages cold.

In this lesson the students will determine the factors that affect the strength of electric and magnetic forces.

Today students will design a mini golf hole. Their hole theme should be based on the inventor they researched.

Wildfires are a huge issue in Arizona during the dry season as there is plenty of dry fuel and very little water. Once an area has been devastated by fire, it is further destroyed by summer monsoons

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

This lesson will take your students through the process of making a lunar phases flipbook. When flipped it will be animated and look like the moon going through each phase. Students will learn the

Introduction to Robotic programming using the Wonder Cue robot with the blaster. Using Block coding or Javascript, teach the students to create a series of instructions that move the robot through a

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.

Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant

This is a fun, low-prep activity. All you need is some cards and marbles. Students will build towers that are capable of holding a bucket of marbles. Once the groups have been tested, you will discuss

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 will help children discover the phenomena: People say I have so much energy all the time and that the sun gives plants energy, is it the same?
