STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson is based on the Fibonacci sequence. Overlapping concepts of pattern, repetition, structure, scale, proportions are considerations for constructing an artistic, math-based sculpture

In the lesson plan, students will embark on an exciting engineering challenge as they construct and program their own robot rovers to strategize a mission to the Moon. Throughout the lesson, students

The basics of natural selection will be highlighted using the Natural Selection PhET simulation where students complete a series of challenges. As a result of this experience, students will be able to

The basics of natural selection will be highlighted using the Natural Selection PhET simulation where students complete a series of challenges. As a result of this experience, students will be able to

Students will engineer a game with rules and directions to help understand and practice proportional ratios with as little material needed as possible.

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 engaging lesson is an introductory lesson regarding the size and scale of the Universe and objects within. This was designed for high school Astronomy but is easily useable with ages down through

In this physics lesson, students carry out a lab activity to determine Hooke's Law and investigate spring constants.

Students will design a balloon rocket. They will then create a fish line track for the rocket to follow. The track will be able to me modified to test different angles of ascent. This will allow

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

The students receive a sample population of "bears" and use the colors and ratios to determine the genotypes of the captive bears and their parents.

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

Built as a month long, end of year project, students get to discover the water quality of several geographically different natural water sources by completing field research and data collection. As a

This is a lesson plan about creating a vermicomposting bin. This explains how vermicomposting helps in keeping the environment clean and also how it helps create rich soil which is important for

For this lesson, students will use the engineering design process for the tiny house design challenge, which will include a design board, floor plan, scale conversion sheet and a tiny house prototype

In this activity, students will use a table to organize information, create a graph to display data and use the correct labels. Students will also recognize the relationship among the table, the graph

Students program and present Lego Robot to be able to effectively use different data types such as time (seconds), speed, and degrees of rotation. Program and synchronize motor movements of a

The lesson introduces how the earth layers and the fossil record shows a relative time scale. The math concept of a function will be explored. Students will use cause and effect changes of Earth

This lesson give emphasis on the systems A and B of the chemical reaction that represent the reactants and products. This also focuses on investigating not just the system involved in the chemical

This lesson allows the students to experience the life of an interior designer. The students will be tasked to use their knowledge on area and perimeter as they design a layout for their own classroom

After learning about Ancient Egypt, students will be able to put their knowledge and skills to use with the Egyptian Pyramid Prototype. Each group will be challenged to build a 4-sided pyramid that

This lesson will provide students with the opportunity to research and design their own roller coaster. This will give them the experience to understand how gravity works on Earth and why people are
