Description
Students will love these year-long STEM activities while learning about a variety of topics. These STEM activities are a perfect addition to any STEM unit. Fun and engaging, students learn the importance of design, critical thinking, and communication.
I've tried to make this unit as stress-free and no hassle as possible. Just send the parent letter home to gather materials, assign the digital interactive notebooks, and enjoy time with your students.
What You're Getting Inside Each Monthly Resource:
- Overview of STEM
- Parent letter to send home for materials
- STEM challenge
- Teacher tips
- Resources for students to build background knowledge about the topic being studied
- The Design Process posters
- STEM presentation in Google Slides
- STEM digital interactive notebook
- Math differentiation ideas
- Materials list pricing options are available for most units
Students complete the activities by:
- Building background knowledge
- Completing Jamboards, exit tickets, rubrics and design journals as a formative assessment options
- Using the design process to brainstorm and collaborate
- Designing each challenge in their design journal or interactive notebook
- Creating the project using the materials they've chosen
- Testing their project and making improvements to the design
- Evaluating their project using a rubric
Units include:
- Fun Friday (Introduction to the Design Process)
- Design a Sneaker (More Design Process Practice)
- Design a Spider Web (Types of Spiders and their Webs)
- Disguise a Turkey (Animal Adaptations)
- Engineering (Build a Gingerbread House)
- States of Matter (Build a Snowman)
- Landforms (Build a Volcano)
- Simple Machines (Leprechaun Traps)
- Circuits (Design a Bug)
- Plus, more to come!!
