More than 85 engaging, developmentally appropriate activities maximize children’s learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Each experience combines at least two STEM disciplines and incorporates materials and situations that are interesting and meaningful to children.
As researchers and educators increasingly recognize how critical early childhood mathematics and science learning is in laying the foundation for children’s later STEM education, this second edition of Teaching STEM in the Early Years is a much-needed resource for every early childhood classroom. It will encourage you to think differently about STEM education, and you will see how easy it is to accommodate curriculum goals and learning standards in math and science activities. This edition provides updated research and references and adds
- Ideas for incorporating literacy with STEM activities, including children’s book recommendations
- STREAM It segments that incorporate reading and art into STEM with art and music extension to activities
- Suggestions for varying the difficulty of activities for a variety of learners
