Description
A good STEM resource can be a great enhancement to your curriculum. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and this book offers you good ideas for hands-on activities to solve real-world problems in the areas of physical, life, earth/space, energy, and environmental sciences. If your curriculum has good in content, but tends to be less interactive, this book would be a good companion to make the material more interesting and understandable. Build a birdhouse, make a periscope, build a solar-powered racer, and more. Students will research, collaborate, design, and reflect to complete each project. The projects in this book can be used by groups or individuals, but specific instructions are included in the front of the book for group collaboration. Activity pages may be copied for classroom or family use. 60 pages. ~ Donna
