My store is dedicated to hands-on, engaging STEM lessons that can be used in the regular classroom and also in STEM labs. I use children's literature as the "hook" to the lesson. Then the problem from the story is turned into a real-world STEM lesson where children have to find their own solution through a STEM. The engineer and design their solution, rather than using paper and pencil!! My lesson are built to offer real-world STEM challenges and students are using very low cost or recycled materials. Many of the lessons are also built around social studies standards to help add more hands-on STEM engagement into those lessons! My lessons are slides that give you the information for the lesson, links to the topics being taught, and then the STEM challenge and expectations.
