AI workflows for high school STEM teachers

AI as your planning and reflection partner

Step-by-step AI workflows for teachers with 5 to 25 years in the classroom. Plan lessons, differentiate, and read student work faster, with materials you'd put your name on.

No hype, no theory, just systems that work.

  1. Architect

    Explore options before you commit

    List 5 common misconceptions 10th graders have about chemical bonding, ranked by how often they show up.

  2. Builder

    Draft the material you picked

    Using misconception #2, ionic vs. covalent bonding, build a 3-day lesson series that uses electronegativity as the bridge. Include one hands-on activity with household materials.

  3. Inspector

    Audit it and fix the gaps

    Audit this lesson for UDL: engagement, representation, and action and expression. For each gap, suggest one specific fix.

One chemistry lesson, built with the 3-Step Chain.

Who this is for

Built for teachers who already know their content

You don't need someone to explain stoichiometry or the scientific method. You need the planning, grading, and paperwork to take less of your evening.

  • You've tried AI and the output was generic.One-line prompts get one-size-fits-all answers. A short workflow gets material that fits your course and your students.
  • You don't want another list of 50 tools.Every workflow here runs in the chat tool you already use, whether that's ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot.
  • You need it to fit a planning period.Each workflow is a set of steps you can run between classes and reuse next unit.

The frameworks

Three frameworks, one for each part of the job

3-Step Chain

Architect → Builder → Inspector

Move from single prompts to a short workflow that explores options, drafts the material, then checks it.

How the chain works

CARE Framework

Clear · Audience · Role · Evaluation

A four-part checklist for writing prompts that give you usable output on the first or second try.

How CARE works

Traffic Light Framework

Red · Yellow · Green

A plain policy for student AI use that students can follow and you can enforce, assignment by assignment.

How the zones work

What changes

Same request, two prompts

The difference between output you throw away and output you can use is usually a few specific details.

Typical prompt

"Give me some science activities."

You get a generic list you have to rewrite for your grade, your students, and your time.

Prompt written with CARE

"Give me 3 hands-on activities about photosynthesis for 9th graders who struggle with abstract concepts. Each activity should take under 20 minutes and use materials commonly found in a classroom."

Grade level, students, time limit, and materials are all set, so the first draft is close to ready.

Why it's faceless

The workflows are the point

STEMWorkflowsAI is built on decades of high school STEM teaching: planning labs, grading lab reports, and running classrooms.

There's no personal brand here. You'll find workflows that have been run with real lessons, real lab safety plans, and real stacks of exit tickets, then written up so you can use them the next day.
