Description
Publisher's Description of STEM: Engaging Hands-On Challenges Using Everyday Activities Grade K
Provide students with grade-level appropriate challenges guaranteed to spark imagination as they ask, imagine, plan, create (build), test, and improve. In each challenge, students will be making sense of phenomena and/or designing solutions to a problem as they build a clearer understanding of science and engineering practices (SEPS), disciplinary core ideas (DCIs), and crosscutting concepts (CCCs).
Each exploration in this book provides students with meaningful experiences to help them to understand particular concepts by using three sequential steps: a set of introductory and cross-curricular activities, two-small group centers, and a science or engineering challenge. This progression of activities is designed to introduce students to new concepts, to give them hands-on experience with those concepts, and to challenge them to use what they learned to solve a related problem. Correlated to the NGSS Standards. 112 pages.
Category Description for Stem: Engaging Hands-On Challenges
Turn your students loose to discover science and engineering through a variety of fun challenges! There are two types of challenges: Engineering and Scientific inquiry. In the engineering challenges, students create a solution to a problem and then evaluate the effectiveness of the solution. Scientific challenges provide age-appropriate activities that explore questions, test hypotheses, record data and evaluate evidence. Each challenge begins with an introduction or objective and explains the activity clearly. As appropriate, teacher notes and activities are provided. There is a nice variety of challenges (10 challenges in the 1st-4th grades and 9 challenges in kindergarten through grade 5). While most challenges are group focused, these are easily modified for homeschool families, or let siblings close in age work together to solve the challenge! Challenges use commonly found items, which makes this a great option for home or classroom. Due to the inquiry-based nature of the challenges, answers are not provided. Reproducible for single classroom use. Correlated with NGSS.
