STEM and Space Bundle: Time Travel Through Space History

Space History Units with STEM Activities are fantastic lessons for the upper elementary and middle school classroom. Combining science, history, reading and engineering, our seven hands-on lessons provide an interesting platform for discussions about the amazing accomplishments of the United States space program.

Teachers are saying:

"This is a great unit for our STEM Space summer school! It has a good collection of varying activities."

"I love this! The students have really enjoyed the STEM projects and have honestly blown me away with their creativity. It does have A LOT, but I'd rather have too much than too little."

Have your students read and discuss the provided background information on each decade’s space accomplishments. Students will then apply the engineering design process and their communication skills as they work on the interesting space related STEM challenges.
