STEM Lesson Plans

Through this project, students will explore the concept of the "robot brain" and its relation to AI. Understand the basics of circuits as a model for the functionality of a robot brain. Create a paper

This lesson teaches graphing in a variety of ways and looks at how data can be made misleading. Students will begin with a story and creating a behavior over time graph. Then they will engage with the

Imagine being stranded in the wilderness, far away from civilization, with nothing but your wits and a hatchet. You have to find a way to survive, to protect yourself from the elements, and to create

"Hatchet" by Gary Paulsen is a novel about a young boy named Brian Robeson who is stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. While the book doesn't explicitly teach STEM principles, it

In this lesson, first-grade students will explore the concept of resource sharing in nature using dioramas. The lesson is designed to help students understand that living things, such as plants and

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

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

In this engaging lesson, students build a model rocket. They design an experimental procedure based on their understanding of the forces acting on the rocket. They predict values using a flight

This lesson allows students to engage with technology, literature, and engineering in a fun and creative manner. It aims to combine literature with technology, providing students with an opportunity

In this exciting lesson, students will use the engineering design process to devise an alternative method for retrieving the shield of Ares from Hephaestus' trap, as depicted in Chapter 15 of "Percy

In this lesson, students will listen to a story about how crayons are made. Students will then observe the effects of temperature on matter as they make "new" crayons. This is the 2nd lesson in a

In this lesson, students will listen to a story about how and why crayons were invented. They will then create a crayon tower and record data. This is the 1st lesson in a series of 2.

In this exciting lesson plan, students in grades 4-6 will immerse themselves in the world of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan to apply their creativity to construct a model
