STEM Lesson Plans

This is a series of lessons where students will observe natural activities in the garden for five days. From the observation, they will identify the factors that have high probability of causing

In this lesson, students use the engineering process to solve a real-world problem along the I-10 in Arizona. Students analyze data about roadkill along a particular stretch on the I-10 just outside

Students will continue from their research and start an investigation to help with their solution. They will first learn about compost and what it does. They will then develop and investigation and

Students will brainstorm, and make predictions of why an airplane can fly. The teacher will present the knowledge of aerodynamics to the students using video , and giving them opportunity to process

Students will use the engineering and design process to create a marble maze.

Students will be read the book: "Oh Say Can You Seed?" by Bonnie Worth and Aristides Ruiz Students will learn new vocabulary for the parts of a flowering plant and identify parts together. Students

This is the final lesson in a set of 4 (total) lessons. This is when students will be reviewing the information from planting and the first observation day. Students will begin logging and comparing

In this investigation students will explore how vibrating matter creates sound and how sound can make matter vibrate.

In this project students will be creating an agricultural community display. Students will need to create a proposal letter first to secure funding. Then they will create a blueprint that needs to be

This lesson plan explores the science of natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanoes, and hurricanes. It is a lesson that would help enhance student's vocabulary and

This lesson is part of a 4-Day mini-unit developed for 7th and 8th grade about Ethics and Artificial Intelligence. This multi-activity lesson can be used as a stand-alone lesson to help students

This lesson is part of a 4-Day mini-unit developed for 7th and 8th grade about Ethics and Artificial Intelligence. This lesson can be used as a stand-alone lesson to support understanding Artificial

This lesson is part of a 4-Day mini-unit developed for 7th and 8th grade about Ethics and Artificial Intelligence. This introductory lesson can be used as a stand-alone lesson analyzing the meaning of

Using prior knowledge of vertices, angles and sides, students will explore the traits of six shapes, polygons and non-polygons, and correctly categorize shapes with corresponding traits.

In this lesson, students will apply the knowledge of calculating volume to determine the amount of soil they need to fill their planters. They will also use their skills to multiply and divide the

In 5th grade Social Studies we learn about the American Revolution and study evidence of Espionage used by the Patriots to win the Revolution. Prior to the activity students will read a variety of

Students use color theory, write recipes, and use an iterative design process to create a natural dye.

Students examine the relationship between a ball's bounce height and its drop height to see a linear relationship. They then calculate the slope of their data to compare "bounciness" with other groups

Students think about dipping a cube in paint, then count the amount of faces that are painted (either 1, 2, 3, or none) they then make a table with the data and are asked to find any patterns they may

This is part 2 of 2 where students will be conducting a life science experiment with their Worm Worlds created from part 1 and finding out what a red wiggler's favorite food is.

In this lesson, students conduct an experiment that answers the following driving question: Which type of bedding do red wigglers like better- coconut husk or shredded cardboard? This lesson allows

Students use the engineering design process to create paper rocket protoypes and complete a cost-benefit analysis to help choose the best one.

Context: This lesson takes place in a classroom for two or more class periods Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on the experiment of making an indestructible Edison robot Creative
