STEM Lessons and Challenges, Grade 1
Develop your first-grade students' problem-solving, critical thinking, innovation, communication, and peer collaboration skills with Evan-Moor's STEM Lessons and Challenges! Each unit focuses on a hands-on challenge, guiding students to work together as engineers to design, prototype, test, and refine their creations. The 15 grade-appropriate challenges target life, earth, and physical science concepts. For example, in grade 2, examples of STEM challenges and science topics include:
- Marble Roller Coaster (Physical Science Concept: Force and Motion)
- Natural Homes (Earth Science Concept: Natural Homes)
- Insect Catcher (Life Science Concept: Studying Insects)
The units are easy-to-teach and include everything you need to guide your students in completing the hands-on challenge, including:
- Teacher overview pages with tips and directions for preparing students, a materials list suggesting readily available items to gather.
- Reading selections for background knowledge.
- Visual literacy pages with real-world images relevant to the STEM challenge.
- STEM challenge overviews introducing the specific task and goal of each challenge, providing space for students to brainstorm.
- Design process worksheets guiding students to plan, create, test, and evaluate their creation.
- A redesign worksheet to guide students through each step of the design process, providing space to document plans, materials, results, evaluations, and revisions.
The book contains 128 classroom-reproducible pages in paperback. An answer key is not included since there isn't one correct answer or solution to solve the problem or complete the challenge.
