STEM Lesson Plans

First of Four. Introduction to how Edison Robots work. Students will self discover some of the possibilities of what the robots can do.

Lesson Two of Four: This lesson will help to show students there are lots of possibilities when building robots and students will be able to create their own prototype.

Introducing how EdScratch programming works with the Edison Robots. Activities and ideas linked in the lesson.

Students after learning how to use EDBlocks and EDScratch programming for Edison Robots will go to a younger class and teach those students how to do it too.

Students will use science and engineering practices to design and build a parachute out of everyday items. The parachute must be able to carry a metal washer to a specific target on the ground while

In this engaging lesson, students will create their own parade float using recyclable materials and code a parade route using Dash robots. Students will do this after hearing the story "Balloons over

Go through different STEM, reading, and writing activities with Roz and her friends in The Wild Robot. Students will problem solve, participate in discussions, and learn about artificial intelligence

This lesson will allow students to learn more about 3D printing design and the engineering process. Students will brainstorm different needs in their community and people who could benefit from

This hands-on lesson is based on the book, "If I Built a House". Students use recyclables to create a 'dream' house which is based on their likes and interests. Using the Engineering Design Process as

In this engaging lesson, students use LEGOs to create a working seismograph. Included are all the materials you will need, video links, a pre and post assessment and rubric. Students will enjoy this

It's 3D printing time! In this lesson, students will design a creation all on their own and input their design into a 3D printing program. They will then print their creations and become a maker!

Bee-Bot is ready for math! In this engaging lesson, students break apart numbers and make different combinations of numbers to make a whole number. Students will be using a Bee-Bot to code and show

In this hands-on lesson, students program a Bee-Bot and name the student, teacher, principal, or important places at your school. This is a beginning of the year activity. Students will be coding a

In this engaging lesson, students will program a Bee-Bot and answer prompts that describe familiar topics, likes, dislikes and family members. This is a beginning of the year activity. Students will

In this hands-on lesson, students match a subitize card to the corresponding number using a Bee-Bot. Students may work in small groups of 2-4 to program an algorithm on the Bee-Bots. They will be able

The lesson is designed to engage 3rd-grade students in hands-on exploration of scientific and mathematical concepts using the Dash robot. The lesson aligns with the Arizona Science Standards for 3rd

An engaging read-aloud lesson integrating ELA & Computer Science. Students will listen to Balloons Over Broadway and be able to complete a compare & contrast diagram. Students will also complete a

This is a two part lesson for students to have fun with robots! In this first part, encourage reading in a fun way! Students choose a book they have read and write down the story elements. They will

In this lesson students will be able to program Dash to retell the story they read. Students will be able to run their algorithm and debug as necessary. An added challenge is for students to create a

In this lesson, students will get creative with materials to rescue an unfortunate worm. After completing this activity students will have a much better concept of what the 'T" in STEM really means

Students will learn how robots help complete repetitive tasks for humans. Robots use a series of steps that are programed into their circuits. It must be done systematically and include each step, in

This is an introductory lesson designed for a robotics after-school session involving materials and equipment from VEX robotics and coding. Students explore robotics, discuss the tasks robots can
