STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson gives a hands-on way of teaching the 2nd law of motion. Students are able to experiment with different objects with different masses to discover how mass affects force and acceleration.

In this engaging elementary school lesson, students use the engineering design cycle to identify and solve problems, incorporating technology while reflecting on their process and sharing their

This lesson is perfect when celebrating Easter. The students will be engaged in creating a trap for the bunny. The story will be read first and then the magic happens after.

This lesson plan focuses on the following standards. Construct an explanation of the origin, expansion, and scale of the universe based on astronomical evidence. ● The study of stars' light spectra

This lesson plan focuses on the use of several materials to create a rocket and a launcher. Remodel the rocket as needed to validate Newton’s third law of motion and projectile motion.

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house from Sketchup to Graph. Materials: Oversized Graph

In this lesson plan students will show and cultivate their creativity while using the concepts of math and technology by designing their dream house. Materials: Computer with internet access for

What if we could pass along information that can’t be stolen or intercepted? We can do it with a little coding, and some chemistry! Soon we will be writing in code, passing secret information along

Students will study car barrier engineering in this lesson. They will study how Newton’s Second Law of motion can be applied to determine how to decrease the force of impact during a collision. They

Engineers often create small-size models of a new product to test its design. This is especially true with airplanes. Model testing tells engineers how a design responds to different air conditions

Students will read the novel, "The Lion of Mars", design & launch paper rockets, and then design a sustainable Mars Colony inspired by the novel. This hands-on lesson is scheduled to take around 15

Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is

Students will research and understand bird evolution. They will identify the functions of body parts and ecosystems. They will predict evolutionary changes that a specific bird will go through and the

The investigation focuses on how a rubber band is used to transfer energy to an object. Students will determine a pattern for how the speed of the rubber band determines the distance a paper cube

Designed for three hour-long STEAM Club meetings for scholars from kindergarten - fourth grade. This lesson plan can also be used for fifth-seventh grade scholars. Scholars will learn about

This lesson plan is designed to allow students to express their creativity while applying science, technology and math concepts by designing their own dream house.

This is the second lesson plan that goes with the series of four lesson plans for the book Song for a Whale by Lynne Kelly. This lesson focuses on vibrations, sounds, and music. The final project is

This lesson compares and contrasts different hydroponic systems and their benefits and setbacks. Then, the plan walks the students through the hands-on activity of creating a Kratky bin for hydroponic

This lesson plan walks you through our engineering of a garden box and extended lesson of our plant growth.

The students will be working and pretending that they work for an engineering company that is designing a bridge. The Department of Transportation wants to see a model of the bridge, so they will be

This lesson takes place in a classroom over two weeks. Students may work in small groups of 2-3. Prior to the robotics challenge, teachers should facilitate student discussion through guided lessons
