STEM Lesson Plans

Engage students with competitive activities. Students will be predicting measurements, collecting data, and determining the difference between the estimation and the actual. Students will create la

This is a hands-on lesson for both science and math exploration. Students use tape to explore the forces between charges and come up with a mathematical expression for how that works! They create a

In this lesson students learn how CRISPR works by running a gene editing lab. They get to explore the components of the gene editing system, make experimental predictions. Transform bacteria with

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about the types of microorganisms in water and how to sterilize the water. They analyze the data and create graphs. Students participate in a whole class and

This is the 1st lesson in a series of 3. 6th-grade students will work in groups to create eco-friendly inventions that help the environment and tackle climate change. They will research ideas, make

Students will use a known lab to represent photosynthesis in action. They can use this template for the lab and pick another variable to collect data on to complete the story on how photosynthesis

In this outstanding lesson, teachers facilitate students to design and build Meet Edison Robots for Cougar Clash “BattleBot” robot battle classroom tournament. (We named ours Cougar Clash as your

This is the 2nd lesson is a 2-part series. Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise

Students will expand their knowledge of Newton's laws while building, launching and changing the design of paper rockets. This design and modeling exercise by JPL/NASA starts students off with a

This STEM project allowed students to embark on an exciting journey of entrepreneurship with "Ride to Success." In this immersive STEM lesson plan, students will not only learn the ins and outs of

In this engaging lesson, students will model a standing transverse wave using a slinky and collect measurements to find the amplitude, wavelength, and frequency of their wave in order to calculate the

In this creative lesson, students will use a slinky to model two types of waves: longitudinal/compression waves and transverse waves. Through class exploration, students will first practice making the

In this hands-on lesson, students will model transfer of kinetic energy by preparing and measuring the temperature of two equal quantities of water, before mixing them together and then measuring the

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

Students play a game to model and graph the effects an invasive species on a local ecosystem before analyzing a case study and completing a research project.

Students will make a connection between force, mass, and acceleration (more so velocity). They will design and conduct an experiment to explain how different sized rocks have different outcomes on

Students will use inquiry to see the conversation of energy by burning up oxygen and sugars to see Carbon Dioxide present in a system and create energy.

Students will build an ice snowman and a house for him to live in. They will collaborate to design a structure to keep him from melting. This project uses basic materials to study insulation and

In this lesson, students will work in small groups of 3-4 to design and engineer a manipulative or activity designed to help practice simplifying expressions. Creative designs for the manipulative

In this five days lesson plan or a class project, I used a picture book, "Seeds of Change: Exploring Wangari Maathai's Tree-Planting Efforts". This lesson plan is great for 6th -8th-grade students. In

In this lesson students will demonstrate their deeper understanding of how the concept of slope is applied to the real-world construction of the wheelchair access ramp. Students will use the knowledge

This lesson is part 2 of 2. In lesson one, students create a scale drawing (blueprint) of a sustainable house. In this lesson, students use their scale drawing to create a scale model of a sustainable

This is a lesson involving math, science, and engineering. Students are also required to write a reflection paragraph. Students will use a scale to create a scale drawing of a sustainable house that

As an intro to Thermal Energy, students are challenged to create a warmer that will keep my coffee warm. Students project will be tested in class, data will be collected, compared, and graphed.
