FREE STEM KITS FOR PENNSYLVANIA TEACHERS
Kansas Corn STEM, a popular program in Kansas, received funding to expand our support to teachers in Pennsylvania. We are providing free materials for elementary
teachers grade 1-4 and middle and high school science and agriculture teachers. Below is the link to request a kit and to learn more. Please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested.
All geared to Pennsylvania STEELS Standards

Pennsylvania STEELS Standards For STEM Lessons
1st Grade
- 3.1.1.A Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs.
- 3.1.2.A Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.
- 3.3.K.E Communicate solutions that will reduce the impact of humans on the land, water, air, and/or other living things in the local environment.
- 3.5.K-2.G Explain the tools and techniques that people use to help them do.
3.5.K-2.X Develop a plan in order to complete a task.
3.5.K-2.S Apply design concepts, principles, and processes through play and exploration
3.5.K-2.O Illustrate that there are different solutions to a design and that none are perfect.
2nd Grade
3.2.2.B Analyze data obtained from testing different materials to determine which materials have the properties that are best suited for an intended purpose.
3.1.2.A Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow.
