A complete answer key is available in the back of each book. Reproducible for home and single classroom use only.
180 Days of Practice: Hands-On STEAM integrates science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. It also emphasizes understanding math and science while acquiring engineering skills. Art is included to bring the creative aspect into projects. These workbooks provide STEAM activities arranged into 12, three-week units. An overview in the front shows you how to structure each week. Two different pacing schedules are included. Each unit includes two teaching support pages with instructional guidance. Supplies needed for projects and an answer key for the unit are also listed on these pages. Week 1 gives students background content as they read, answer questions, do hands-on activities, draw and label diagrams, and create charts and graphs. Students are introduced to the STEAM Challenge in Week 2. Guided questions are provided, and students record their plans as they research and brainstorm, sketch designs and test their designs. In week 3, students continue working on their designs and ways to improve them based on their findings in week 2. Units are centered around physical, life, and earth sciences. The projects are engaging for each age group and easy to implement using typical household materials. Reproducible for home and single classroom use only.
