This lesson has students watching a baby plant and seeing what it will grow into. Students are able to compare the seedling with an adult plant, and determine how the plant cycles from seed to adult
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.
This lesson is about basic school/home gardening. The lesson involves Science, Math, Technology and Engineering content. Students will be taught how to make basic gardens. They will need seeds, garden
Students will research, design and create a raised bed garden model using craft sticks and write a set of directions to build the model.
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 be learning about adaptation. Students will participate in a project where they will see if seeds can grow in a bag without soil and natural sunlight. They will also compare and contrast
Within eight 60 minutes class periods Design a native, pollinator friendly garden with the help of a local gardener/master gardener. Students work together to create a classroom garden, monitor plant
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
Students will demonstrate how environmental resources affect a population and analyze the population growth over several generations.
This is an Agricultural STEM lesson designed for primary grades. It shows how worms break down organic matter (a banana peel). The students will measure and observe the decomposition overtime. They
Students will participate in a hands-on scientific experiment that addresses the question: "Can you grow plants without seeds?" To further explore this concept, students will actively listen to a read
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
In this unique and engaging lesson, students will simulate the Oregon Trail journey using STEM to make decisions and analyze outcomes. They will collaborate and communicate effectively with their
This is part of an introduction to EdScratch using Edison Robots. Students will model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on experience for students to explore life science concepts using
This lesson is an introduction to Tangible Coding and Sequencing to model the flow of an ecosystem. This is a hands-on way to incorporate coding and robots with life science concepts. This is a 2-part
In this lesson, students show what they know about animal adaptations! Students will test out a variety of bird "beaks" and how capable they are of picking up different types of bird "foods". Then
In this hands-on lesson, students illustrate and find the area and perimeter of the rockwool pattern. They also create an expression to represent the number of seeds needed to plant their rockwool
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
This is a STEM lesson embedded in ELA. The lesson will revolve around the "Giving Tree of the Desert", in order to facilitate learning as to what a plant needs to grow and thrive. The students will
In this lesson students will identify the four seasons. They will then explore how trees change with the seasons and how that impacts what humans wear and act. Students will also count to four and
In this lesson kindergarten students will explore their 5 senses and determine how they can be used in the garden. There is a literacy integration and nature walk within the lesson along with
