Happy Weekend- I decided that I would start blogging STEM lesson plans a couple times a month to assist teachers. I know everyone is busy; so hopefully this will help out a bit. You might have to tweak my lesson plan based on grade level or program. It is never too young to complete STEM lessons in your classroom - just ask our HeadStart teacher Sue Bowers! She was teaching numbers, counting, and PROBABILITY with her 3 year olds last week using Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons. Today's lesson comes from Teach Beside Me- Educate Creatively The lesson using trays, styrofoam (cups, balls, or beads), and pure acetone.
To access the Google Slide for this lesson click on this link. Please create a journal based on the ability of your students. Remember, a journal can be a blank page that students draw or write their hypothesis or design plan.
If you are interested in learning more about STEM in your classroom please reach out to lori_blantz@iu13.org or giovanna_chamberlain@iu13.org . Finally, check out the Blog contest on the right side- Essays due Feb 3rd. Good luck.
