STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are

In this creative lesson, students will design and build a Rube Goldberg Energy Transfer Project. They will work within a group over 1-2 weeks and create a presentation to demonstrate the energy

After learning about solar, students will create a solar-powered device that can be used by the community. Students work in groups to engineer a device and present the final product to the class.

In this engaging and hands-on lesson, students will examine the Gold King Mine spill on the Animas River in Colorado before creating a model watershed in order to develop an explanation of human

Students will look at structures that allow animals to safely cross a roadway in this lesson. After reading "Crossings: Extraordinary Structures for Extraordinary Animals", they will research an

Students use Sphero Robots to create chariots that race in the classroom. Students utilize social studies, science, technology and engineering to complete this project. Links to resources are included

What will the transportation of the future look like? What types of engineering or technology will vehicles feature? These Physics lessons explore both established and alternative forms of

What will houses of the future look like? This Physics project-based lesson helps students explore what houses of the future might look like based on their geographical locations and climate. Students

This engaging lesson allows students the opportunity to employ prior knowledge while demonstrating knowledge of various standards in an inter-disciplinary, hands-on lesson. The utilization of data

I can use the engineering process to create a shock absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” in a lander as it is dropped from various heights on the moon.

This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider

This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider

Students will create an Operation Style Game using the Makey Makey Kits and the coding program SCRATCH. Students will learn how to create circuits and use the Makey Makey Kits to complete circuits to

Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.

The challenge is for students to send a secret Morse Code message. This lesson has three parts: learning about Morse Code, understanding how radios work, and programming a Micro:Bit to send Morse Code

Students will upload their pictures into the Stop Motion app on the Ipad to edit with sound effects. Students will then be able to select a green screen background to use when they upload the film

Lesson 3 of 4 - This lesson focuses on students will begin taking photographs of their Lego “set” using the Ipad or Chromebook on a tripod to capture stop-motion movement with the individual pictures

A Stop Motion Animated Movie with a Green Screen background based off of a Lego Challenge built in Lesson 1. Students will create a storyboard and script. This is Lesson 2 of 4 lessons.

Part 1 of a four-part series of lessons that begins with a Lego Challenge which will become the set for a stop motion video created by students.

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

This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.

This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.

Students will use a kid friendly online CAD modeling program to create a car design. Students will then carve their car using floral wet foam, wheels and axels to race in the derby.
