My 50 STEM Labs Series is all about increasing the level of fun while teaching engineering. In this new book, I created a set of STEAM thematic units.
Each unit is a single page with a set of suggested interrelated activities for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Unlike other series and authors who slap together an arts and crafts activity and call it STEM/STEAM, this one actually has suggestions for how to use ALL 5 disciplines for EACH project! Add technology to your class! Do career studies, add music… the list goes on!
Create your own grading rubrics and adjust for your grade level. This is AWESOME for block scheduling, gifted, and older kids who are used to doing projects.
