STEM Lesson Plans

Students use Sphero Robots to create chariots that race in the classroom. Students utilize social studies, science, technology and engineering to complete this project. Links to resources are included

This hands-on lesson uses a Modeling Instruction approach to experimental design and analysis leading students to develop the graphical and mathematical relationships for accelerated motion, or

Students use their knowledge of electric circuits to create light up greeting cards using LED lights. Students will understand that positives and negatives need to follow each other to create a

What will the transportation of the future look like? What types of engineering or technology will vehicles feature? These Physics lessons explore both established and alternative forms of

What will houses of the future look like? This Physics project-based lesson helps students explore what houses of the future might look like based on their geographical locations and climate. Students

I can use the engineering process to create a shock absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” in a lander as it is dropped from various heights on the moon.

This is the second part of the 5E lesson Greenhouse Gases and the biosphere. It contains the Explain and Elaborate sections of the lesson. Students will be using computers to gather more information

This is a four-part lesson that will guide students in groups to create a trackless dark ride. A dark ride is a ride where engineers utilize characters, scenes, and music to tell a story to the rider

Students will create an Operation Style Game using the Makey Makey Kits and the coding program SCRATCH. Students will learn how to create circuits and use the Makey Makey Kits to complete circuits to

This lesson is an introductory lesson to our unit of Human Impact on the Environment. Students will look at Greenhouse Gases and see how they effect the temperature at the Earth's Surface. This is a

The lesson will help teachers and students who are learning the basics of 3D printing. There will be a list of vocabulary, video, student discussion, sketching a prototype and using Tinkercad to

Students learn the history of rocketry, and the science behind rockets, and then design, build, and launch bottle rockets with compressed air and water.

The challenge is for students to send a secret Morse Code message. This lesson has three parts: learning about Morse Code, understanding how radios work, and programming a Micro:Bit to send Morse Code

This lesson is designed to have students investigate how objects, of different masses, will be affected when dropped to Earth. The lesson begins with a phenomena video - this video connects the idea

This is a continuation of lessons 1, 2 and 3. Students will test their cars for distance and speed. Students will add weight to the car and test for distance and speed again to determine if their car

This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.

This lesson is a continuation of lesson 1. Students will learn about Newton's Laws of motion and apply those concepts to their car designs.

Students will use a kid friendly online CAD modeling program to create a car design. Students will then carve their car using floral wet foam, wheels and axels to race in the derby.

In this first part of a three part unit, students explore the phenomenon of an LED light and a coin battery. They will discover the difference between a closed and open circuit, using a STEM journal

This is a two-day introductory lab exercise using video analysis to derive the equations that govern projectile motion. It employs elements of Modeling Instruction to engage students in doing science.

Let the students experience being industrial or manufacturing engineers as they convince bag companies about the best plastic material to upcycle for a more sustainable bag option. Through the Plastic
