STEM Lesson Plans

Students will be learning about the Fibonacci mathematical design pattern. They will learn about the 3 different mathematical Fibonacci sequence designs, vocabulary, and creating their own art

In this lesson plan, students will embark on a journey to explore and understand the fascinating world of Moon phases. They will begin by sharing their prior knowledge and everyday experiences of Moon

This Lesson Plan demonstrates how sound waves work. It also helps kids work with their peers and expand their understanding of how sound waves can cause vibrations which can cause matter to move

This Lesson demonstrates and helps students understand the concept of non-contact forces with a hands-on-activity. In the experiment, the students will be making a magnetic car in groups of 2-4. After

Mixtures and Solutions: Students investigate how various mixtures can be separated. While making a mixture of salt and water, connections are made to global water supplies and the amount of fresh and

An introduction to Kepler's 1st Law and ellipses. The lesson includes some guided notes for students as well as a hands on activity where students will draw, measure, explore, and conduct calculations

7th Grade students will apply what they have learned about electricity and magnetism to understand electromagnets. Students will explore electromagnets and investigate the factors that affect the

This is a 7th grade Science and Math lesson about how energy flows through a circuit. Students investigate variables that affect the strength of the electrical fields.

This hands-on lesson engages students by having them give each other instructions to complete a task. They read about coding and code for a Sphero bot to navigate a course using math to calculate

Students will design paper gliders to develop an understanding of the principles of flight. This is a low-tech lesson that does not require extensive/expensive supplies. It can be scaled up or down

This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 2. Day 2 - The students are challenged to conduct design-controlled experiments to identify the substances responsible for the observed chemical and physical

This is the 1st lesson in a series of 2. Day 1 - The purpose of this inquiry-based demonstration is to have students make observations about the changes that occur when several substances are mixed

This lesson is a STEM performance task after the students learn how solar power and solar panels work. Students draw attention to solar energy, as it is not only helpful with our power systems but can

In this engaging lesson, students use their knowledge from the 2 previous lessons to design, draw blueprints, and build a load bearing bridge. Link to view all lessons is included!

In this engaging lesson, students explore different types of bridges and then practice building them with K'Nex sets. This is the 1st lesson in a series of 3. Link to view all lessons and helpful

Students will follow the Engineering Design Process to create a hoop glider out of straws and index cards and explore the forces of flight. Students will work on the 4Cs skills as they work together

In this hands-on lesson, students explore designing bridge prototypes with spaghetti to find weak points and redesign a new prototype. This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 3.

It's LEGO time! In this hands-on lesson, students design robot cars that can park themselves safely without driver intervention. This can be done with LEGO EV3 or Spike Prime robots. Let the challenge

In this engineering design activity lesson, students will first learn about Civil Engineers. Then, students will be given an engineering challenge to design a tower with specific constraints. They are

Studnets will be inspired to make a Lego Balloon car after listening and watching about lego cars. Students will be amazed as they engineer their very own Lego cars and making them move using a

In this lesson, students explore glow-in-the-dark materials using regular flashlights and UV flashlights. They then add phosphorescence and the emission of EM energy to previous models of light and
