STEM Lesson Plans

Students are tasked with using the Engineering Design Process Steps to design the bedroom of their dreams in this engaging lesson. Students will use mathematics (perimeter, measurement, area) when

This lesson takes a look at 3 different injuries and the different systems that are affected and the math behind the functions of the body and medical interventions.

In this lesson, students explore geometric concepts such as shapes, angles, and symmetry. They apply engineering and design principles to create structures using Magna-Tiles. This gives students an

This lesson provides a quick and easy to understand introduction to Binary code. In this lesson, we focus on binary numbers whereas, subsequent lessons can focus on the binary alphabet.

In this lesson, students will learn about Indi the robot. They will collaborate with their peers and use problem-solving skills and critical thinking to learn about coding and how to create an

Students will be able to understand proportional relationships with rescaling a drawing. Students will be able to draw a reduced scale drawing and enlarged scale drawing in the end. Students will also

Lesson Description: In this first-grade lesson, we will learn about the amazing world of spiders! We'll start by exploring the life cycle of a spider, from when it hatches to how it grows and changes

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.

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

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about the types of microorganisms in water and how to sterilize the water. They analyze the data and create graphs. Students participate in a whole class and

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

Students will use a known lab to represent photosynthesis in action. They can use this template for the lab and pick another variable to collect data on to complete the story on how photosynthesis
