STEM Lesson Plan Template: Engineering Design Unit
Are you looking to plan a full engineering design challenge that meaningfully integrates all STEM subjects? This editable lesson plan template guides you through the phases of an engineering design unit that builds a foundation of engineering learning for elementary and middle school classrooms. Whether catapults, rovers, bridges, or rockets, use this lesson plan template to develop a meaningful lesson that promotes engineering learning!
This packet includes:
- An Overview of STEM education
- The Framework for Engineering Learning
- Engineering Design classroom poster
- Editable Lesson Template, including Standards Alignment, with examples
Overview of Engineering Design Unit
How do we promote engineering literacy in K-12? How do we move beyond fun building activities to promote accurate ideas of engineering? We break it down in the included Framework for Engineering Learning along with a guide on how to implement authentic, engaging, and meaningful engineering and STEM learning.
The lesson plan walks you through how to plan for each phase of an engineering design challenge:
- Define the Real-World Context
- Identify the Design Problem
- Brainstorm & Design
- Build/Test/Evaluate
- Share & Reflect
Looking for high-quality but low-prep STEM lessons?
Here are recommendations (NOT included in this product) that follow the engineering design process:
Lower Elementary (PreK - 2nd)
- Quick Build STEM Task Cards: Get your students building and creating with 24 STEM activity task cards using common materials.
- Roller Coaster: Build a fun but safe ride!
Upper Elementary (3rd - 5th)
- Oil Spill Challenge: Save ocean life after an environmental disaster
- Starter STEM Challenges: Simple intro to engineering design challenges
Middle School (6th - 8th)
- Space Lander: Safely land your astronauts on Mars!
- Catapults: Hit a target or launch the farthest distance
