This is a collection of 50 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) science experiments for kids. You will find a strong emphasis on designing a project, testing it, measuring the results, and reflecting upon what worked and did not work.
This is my 2nd collection of 50 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) science experiments for kids. Recommended for grades 3 and up. Each one has a snappy title, a brief description of the task required, the rules, and grading rubrics. These are very adjustable for your classroom, home, or homeschool needs. They support learning in these technical fields in a fun, hands-on, and sometimes competitive way. Learn by doing, measuring, and designing, and then reflect upon it. Labs are tagged with categories so you can search for other similar labs. Types of labs included are: arches, cantilevers, boats, catapults, rollercoasters, and many, many more!
Get the new and updated version of the third STEM challenges book that has sold thousands of copies around the world! In this new version, you will find all those great challenges, but tons of updates like: *Suggested Materials Lists for each project! *Improved wording and directions! *More teachers' options suggestions! *Graded Assignments Suggestions instead of simple rubrics! *Reproducible journaling and data collection pages! *New artwork and graphics! *New layouts and designs throughout! *NOW IN FULL COLOR! Each project is a critical-thinking challenge and experiment. Students will have to figure out how to defeat each task. Children will learn by planning, designing, testing, and measuring. Then, they will have to reflect upon their work. Often, students will have to go back and redesign their projects to make them work better. It is highly recommended that students keep journals, blogs, or video reports of their projects! Challenge projects are tagged with categories so you can search for other similar labs. Types of labs included are: building instruments, flying projects, bridge building, roller coasters, weight lifting projects, tower construction, cars, strength tests, crash tests, and many, many more!
A collection of holiday and season-themed hands-on lab activities that promote the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a collected edition of 50 STEM Labs, 50 More STEM Labs, and 50 New STEM Labs. After selling thousands of downloads and copies of these volumes, the projects have been gathered into this collected edition for easier teaching! This volume collects all 150 project labs from the first 3 volumes sorted into 12 fun categories: *Architecture *Boats *Bridges *Cars *Eggs *Flight *Machines *Strength Tests *Task Completion *Throwers *Towers *Tracks Each reusable project idea comes with rules, suggestions, and optional grading rubrics! And, unlike other series that spell out the whole project like a recipe to follow, the 50 STEM Labs Series only offers guidelines and suggestions to get started. Students have to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills to defeat the task at hand through use of the engineering & design process. Learn more at www.50STEMLabs.com
The 50 STEM Labs Series is all about increasing the level of fun while teaching engineering. This is not a book of recipes for activities. Each project requires students to think and figure things out to complete a task. In this latest volume, the 50 STEM Labs are all based around holiday and season themes. Add more holiday cheer to your STEM lessons and STEAM activities for holidays with 50 more holiday-themed projects for seven major holidays and events: *Christmas *Easter *Halloween *St. Patrick's Day *Thanksgiving *Valentine's Day *Patriotic Holidays Make sure you get volume 1 - 50 Holiday STEM Labs to collect all 100 Holiday-Themed projects!
You've created a STEAM program in your library, but how do you work literacy into the curriculum? With this collection of resource recommendations, direction for program development, and activities, you'll have students reading proficiently in no time. Many schools and libraries are implementing STEAM programs in the school library makerspace to promote problem solving by allowing students to create their own solutions to a problem through trial and error. In order to enhance literacy development in the STEAM program, however, they need resources for integrating literature into the curriculum. In this collection of resources for doing just that, veteran education professionals and practiced coauthors Liz Knowles and Martha Smith bring readers over eight hundred recommended and annotated books and web resources, selected based on research on successfully integrating STEAM and literacy programs and organized by the five STEAM areas. Titles are complemented by discussion questions and problem-solving activities that will aid educators in both adding and using the best literature to their STEAM programs for encouraging learning. In addition to promoting literacy, these resources will help to develop creativity, lateral thinking skills, and confidence in students.
