STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is part of a project to isolate bacteria from soil and test it for antibiotic activity. This can be the start of the project or you can do lesson 1 soil microbes first. Though you do have

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

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

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!

Students start to build 3D models of the entire farm or a smaller, more detailed area. Students continue to focus on ratios, volume, and nets while combating the environmental effects of farming.

Students will discover the relationship between mass and volume in relation to density through an inquiry lab. Students will take mass and volume data of several different solid substances and compare

Students will build the distance formula in a spreadsheet to create a sort of "calculator." Students begin by comparing standard math notation with spreadsheets, then practice programming simple math

In this 7 week unit, students will utilize resources around them to create a garden for a culminating taco party! Students will work on science, math, and ELA within the unit. Feel free to host this

Students will learn about engineering design and redesign a water delivery systems.

In this investigation, 9th grade students will design and construct a car to test against classmates for the fastest car in the class. Students will test, collect data, calculate and share data with

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

The Mystery Box Investigation combines science concepts about properties of matter, how we use and identify matter based on its properties, and the mathematical concepts needed to calculate density

Students are presented with a real-world problem, the newly poured delivery ramp for the cafeteria is too slick, students are tasked with suggesting a surfacing that will increase the ramp's safety

Students will design and build their own popsicle stick catapults, exploring principles of force, motion, and engineering. This lesson does have a Halloween theme to it, but can be modified is needed.

This thematic unit has four lessons which introduce students to engineering, the engineering design process, and facing challenges. Over the course of the four lessons, students will learn how to

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

This lesson discusses winter weather and snow. We will create a recipe for “snow” following step-by-step directions that includes an addition math problem. Student will be responsible for measuring

In this hands-on lesson, students collaborate with partners to create a game in which they practice their multiplication and division facts. This is an engaging way for students to develop fact

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 plan will allow students to explore the use of a PhET simulation in creating a series and parallel circuit, then apply this knowledge in creating a real circuit. Students will also learn

Students will create a geometric net to estimate how many cheerios will fit in the cube. They will use volume to create a real sized cereal box that they can fit 100 cheerios into without having lots
