Great STEM Activities
This book is filled with amazing STEM activities. It guides the user through each step of the Design Process and 5E lesson plan. It covers many standards including Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Language Arts. The lesson include a section called Background for the Teachers. The lesson opens with a fiction book the teacher reads to the students to hook them. The lesson also includes questions to ask along the way. At the end of the lesson is a sheet for students to take home with the web address to a video they can watch at home to continue their learning. I found this chapter that includes the STEM Project "The Inventor's Secret" very helpful. It's such a great resource that I have bought one to have in my teacher's toolkit. I can't wait to implement these lessons in my classroom.
