STEM Lesson Plans

Students will learn how fingerprints are used to solve crimes. Students will then take their own prints, examine patterns within their prints, and compare/contrast the percentages for each type of

The students will create an interactive diorama using the Hummingbird Robotics kit on Natural Disasters. The students will choose their Natural Disaster that they want to bring to life, complete a

Students will create their roller coaster model, test the transfer of energy, measure the distance of how far their marble traveled and compare their distance to the distance of others. *Printable

In this lessons, students will work collaboratively to plan and prep the design of a roller coaster model. After planning a design, students will begin to prep the number of straight segments, curves

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to plan and create the longest chain. Then they will use tools to measure their chains.

This lesson gave students the opportunity to research basketball statistic during the height of playoff season. They were able to realize the difference between quantitative and qualitative data. They

In this hands-on lesson, students are introduced to coding by creating a clicking game with scratch.mit.edu. This lesson includes step-by-step instructions on the process. Students explore some of the

This engaging lesson is a forensic lesson. Can the students identify if the grandkids belong to the long-lost grandparents or a very terrible war? Students will run gel electrophoresis and compare

This is a statistics and technology project that allows students to design a survey to measure the happiness of the student body. The students explore the history of Bhutan, its Gross National

In this lesson students learn how CRISPR works by running a gene editing lab. They get to explore the components of the gene editing system, make experimental predictions. Transform bacteria with

Students will build a propulsion system that can deliver a payload to a given location in this engaging paper rocket engineering lesson. Students think critically and problem solve as they work

In this engaging lesson, students build a model rocket. They design an experimental procedure based on their understanding of the forces acting on the rocket. They predict values using a flight
