| Summary: | For teachers eager to integrate STEM into their school day, these fifteen kid-friendly lessons convey how science, technology, engineering and mathematics intersect in the real world. They embed reading-comprehension strategies that integrate the STEM subjects and English language arts through high-quality picture books. You'll help your K--2 students engage in STEM activities while learning to read and reading to learn. The lessons will lead your students to ask questions and define problems, obtain, evaluate and communicate information and engage in argument from evidence. Along the way, students invent a handy backpack, design their own process for recycling crayons and build a model habitat for an imaginary pet. Includes fiction and nonfiction book pairs, background reading, materials lists, student pages and assessments for each lesson and connections to science standards and the Common Core State Standards for both English language arts and mathematics. |
