STEM Lesson Plans

This is the 3rd lesson of a 4-part series. In this lesson the students will be using their gauge from their swatch to design a garment or accessory for a model. Using proportional relationships

This lesson is the first of 4 lessons that helps students on the journey to knitting with Math. The lesson uses proportions and ratios to help students understand the basic swatch and how to calculate

Empower with solar, motors & wireless! Unravel renewable energy, motor tech & wireless applications in an engaging STEM journey.

Unleash creativity with drones and coding! Explore the exciting world of block coding and its application in drone technology.

Discover the power of hydraulics and pneumatics! Engaging in STEM activity on building systems and understanding fluid dynamics.

Students will use their knowledge of adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials to solve the area of figures they create. This lesson has three parts and ties concepts of area formulas

Students are learning to add, subtract, multiply and divide rational numbers using various numbers on a mat and driving an Edison robot to determine what rational numbers will be used.

In this lesson students will evaluate if mass affects the velocity of an object when dropped from a certain height.

In this lesson, students will participate in a hands-on activity to learn about area and perimeter while also learning about structures and functions of plants by designing a garden space that

Context: This lesson takes place in a classroom for two or more class periods Students may work in small groups of 2-4. An emphasis on the experiment of making an indestructible Edison robot Creative

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

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

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 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.

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

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

Students get to discover the relationship between solutes and solvents in relation to concentration. As an inquiry based lab, students will mix their own concentrations of Kool-Aid or other powdered

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

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

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce and apply the concept of frequency. Students will begin by a motivating “click the mouse” challenge. This will help them to develop the concept of frequency

The goal of these lessons is to introduce work and power and then apply it by having students find the power produced by a future NFL player. The students will then be challenged to see what type of

An exploratory lesson on the relationship between pi and circumference. The students can measure the circumference of everyday items and explore the ratio of pi between the circumference and diameter
