STEM Lesson Plans

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

In groups students will construct a roller coaster made completely out of paper that a marble can travel on. The goal is to have the "ride" last for a longer time than other and be able to explain the

Students will individually construct straw rockets. Using the launcher, students will learn the concept of Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is a equal and opposite reaction

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards : HS.P3U2.7 Use mathematics and computational thinking to explain how Newton’s laws are used in engineering and technologies to create products to

This lesson plan will focus on different fun and engaging activities pertaining to one of the most complicated standards in physics, which is projectile motion. At the end of this lesson students are

Students investigate options for covering a unique shaped pool with circular solar pool covers. This lesson includes using a scaled drawing to create calculations and creating a proposal.

Students will design a keychain in Tinkercad, strengthening their understanding of metric units and design, while also using the following mathematical vocabulary: volume, prism, cylinder, millimeters

This lesson will provide students with hands-on experience to design a roller coaster that will demonstrate transformation and conservation of mechanical energy. Students will learn the concept of

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

This lesson is an introduction to a unit on the light and transverse waves. It can be utilized during a unit or at the beginning as an exploration. Students m easure the speed of light in a medium

Students will design balloon rockets in order to solidify an understanding of Newton's Third Law of Motion . Students will develop an investigation question and then perform their investigation. For

In this hands-on lesson, students will construct a paper windmill. They put it to the test by using a fan to see how their fan holds up to the wind. This is a great way to cover science, engineering

This is Task 4 (Lesson 4) of four tasks (lessons) of an overall project of “Escaping 7th Grade Science Room." Students will construct a marshmallow device to propel marshmallows at force and collect

In this lesson, students will collaborate to design and engineer a product to contain and clean up an oil spill while saving the affected wildlife. They will also accurately complete an itemized

In this hands-on lesson, students design a safety device (car/seatbelt) that can keep an egg (passenger) safe during a collision. The goal is to protect the egg from cracking during a roll down a ramp

Using the Introduction to Hydroponics lab, introduce students to the features of the Hydroponic Systems. Students will explore the different types of grow mediums and grow lights used in the systems

Students will design and create a working, themed pinball machine that follows specified constraints and utilizes Makerspace materials. As students design they will be studying social studies, math

Can a water fountain be solar powered? YES! In this engaging lesson, students will engineer a solar powered water fountain to show how energy transformed and transferred throughout their system. Each

In this lesson students analyze the relationship between rainfall and tree growth from a sample. They will then graphically model that relationship. This is the 4th lesson in a series of 4. Links to

This is a two day lesson plan where a local contractor comes in and presents on building roofs and on snow load code.The second day is an activity where the students test out different slopes and

In this fun lesson, students solve addition or subtraction equations. They will show their answers on a math paper or grid by coding a Bee-Bot to show their answer. This is a great way to incorporate

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

Students will create their own cookie cutters to fill a custom order in their bakery. They will need access to 3D design software like Tinkercad and access to a 3D printer. It's even more fun when you

In this lesson, students will investigate the properties of a mixture, as if it were a contaminated soil sample near a stream. This activity will show students that heterogeneous mixtures can be
