STEM Lesson Plans

This lesson takes place over three hour-long, before- school STEAM club meetings. Students will discuss and learning about weather and climate. Then they will complete an engineering challenge to

In this hands-on lesson, students will learn about polarization by doing investigations. Students explore light and experience seeing through polarized filters!

This engaging lesson is a perfect culminating project for a kindergarten unit on exploring the five senses. In this hands-on lesson, students will create an evaluate a sensory extension tool.

This lesson is focused on solidifying the definition of percent while students collaborate, implement a variety of tools to solve problems involving percentages. Mathematical practices are embedded

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

Welcome to Robot Relays: Construct the Course! In this engaging lesson, students will apply the engineering process to create a series of relay challenges for their robots.

Students will use the Engineering Design Process to plan and create the longest chain. Then they will use tools to measure their chains.

Students will read and explore the idea of leprechauns and traps. Then, using the Engineering Design Process students will have to build a leprechaun trap.

In this hands-on lesson, students learn about thermometers and determining the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit. They create a table of temperature readings for a minimum of 10 days and find

Students will read the original version of The Three Little Pigs and then explore different versions of the story. After exploring, they will complete a compare & contrast chart on two or three of the

In this lessons, students will work collaboratively to plan and prep the design of a roller coaster model. After planning a design, students will begin to prep the number of straight segments, curves

Students will create their roller coaster model, test the transfer of energy, measure the distance of how far their marble traveled and compare their distance to the distance of others. *Printable

This lesson is an introduction to Animation. The Flipbook lessons will eventually lead into students creating a Stop Motion animation. This lesson can be used for grades 3rd - 8th grade. The students

In this engaging lesson, students explore and observe thermal shock by watching marbles bake and placed in ice water. Science and math concepts are covered in this unique lesson as well as visual arts

Students will be researching engineering design features that can be utilized to create buildings that can more effectively withstand the effects of a major earthquake. Students will work within a

The students will create an interactive diorama using the Hummingbird Robotics kit on Natural Disasters. The students will choose their Natural Disaster that they want to bring to life, complete a

Students will be working with creating series and parallel circuits. Students will gain an understanding of the components used to create circuits and how circuits function in our everyday lives.

In this lesson, students will first learn the importance of using reliable tools when gathering data in an experiment. When given common acidic and basic substances, students will then begin to

This is the first lesson for the 5th grade life science unit involving environmental factors and organisms. The materials needed are two articles, highlighters, and either a laptop or tablet to
