Description
Bring science to life in your classroom with this complete Unit 2 STEM bundle: Heating & Cooling from the Little STEM Explorers series! With Blaze the Bunny as their guide, students explore how heat and cold cause changes in matter, investigate which changes are reversible or irreversible, and design creative solutions using the engineering design process.
This bundle includes Weeks 1–3 plus the Unit 2 Assessment Pack, giving you everything you need for a full month of hands-on, NGSS-aligned instruction.
✅ What’s Included
Week 1 – Heat & Cold Science Centers
Students explore sources of heat and cold, describe how materials respond, and engage in science centers designed to encourage inquiry, observation, and discussion. Includes anchor charts, vocabulary cards, task cards, and student recording sheets.
Week 2 – Reversible vs. Irreversible Changes
Through sorting, investigations, and hands-on activities, students learn to identify which changes caused by heating and cooling can be reversed and which cannot. Includes student worksheets, STEM extensions, and visual supports.
Week 3 – Heat & Cold in Our World
Students connect learning to the real world by exploring tools and systems that use heating or cooling. They imagine and design their own “Change Station,” applying the engineering design process to solve everyday problems.
Unit 2 Assessment Pack
Includes a Blaze-themed STEM design challenge, vocabulary quiz, choice board with multiple assessment options, student reflection sheet, and award certificate to celebrate learning.
⭐ Why Teachers Love It
- Hands-On & Engaging: Investigations, centers, and design challenges keep students curious and involved.
- NGSS-Aligned: Covers 2-PS1-4 (heating and cooling changes).
- Low-Prep: Ready-to-print activities, anchor charts, and teacher guides included.
- Character-Driven: Blaze the Bunny connects science concepts to fun, relatable challenges.
📚 Standards Alignment
- NGSS 2-PS1-4: Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot.
📦 Bundle & Save
Save over 20% by purchasing this bundle instead of the individual weeks and assessment pack!
