STEM Resources

These dynamic resources provide guided lessons to integrate project-based learning into your science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum. Each unit provides background information for teachers and students and moves from teacher-directed activities toward more open-ended activities. The culminating activity in each unit allows students to design their own unique “invention” or conduct an experiment of their own creation. Students will be challenged to work collaboratively, using a design process that helps them “step into STEM” with greater competence and confidence. 160 pages.

Build your maze, and then use the coding cards to create a step-by-step path for Colby, the Robot Mouse. Program the sequence of steps, and then watch Colby race to find the cheese! This deluxe set, featuring a programmable robot mouse, 30 coding cards, 10 double-sided Activity Cards, and cheese wedge, is the perfect hands-on introduction to coding concepts. Colby features 2 speeds and colorful buttons to match coding cards for easy programming and sequencing. Set also includes 16 pieces to create a 20" x 20" maze board, 22 maze walls, and 3 tunnels for endless possibilities. Activity Guide included. Colby measures 4"L.

Young learners can dive into early physics in a fun, colorful way with this two-piece submarine and floating raft along with weights, balls, and stars. Ten detailed Activity Cards include over 20 engaging, high-impact activities that cover all aspects of STEM, plus key science concepts of buoyancy, density, and more! Comprehensive Activity Guide with reproducible materials is also included. Submarine measures 6"L x 3"H.

Design and engineer the tree house of your dreams with this one-of-a-kind building set. Use the included activity cards to complete engineering challenges. Build railings, platforms, trees, and then use your problem solving skills to re-engineer your design. Kids will love building their tree house—parents will love that they're actually building critical thinking and STEM skills.

Most early childhood teachers are using learning centers in the classroom, but do not approach them in ways that fully support a variety of learning opportunities. This book approaches learning centers through the STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) lens, and shares how themes can be integrated into centers to promote creativity and higher-level thinking. STEM Play provides varied activities for the most common centers: Art, blocks, dramatic play, literacy, math, science, music and movement. Full of beautiful, full-color photos that show the activities in real early childhood classrooms, teachers can easily use the book's ideas immediately in their curriculum. STEM Play also includes a “How To” section for teachers who wish to expand on the STEM focus and use themed activities in their learning centers.
