Today’s students need to be adept at such 21st-century skills as collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, digital literacy, and implementing the engineering design process. The dynamic resources found in Stepping Into STEM provide guided lessons to teach these skills and integrate project-based learning into your science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum. The lessons are organized into 7 units: Unit 1: Crystal Gardens - Unit 2: Go Fly a Kite - Unit 3: Static Electricity - Unit 4: Structures - Unit 5: Kitchen Chemistry - Unit 6: Flying Saucers - Unit 7: Derby Cars Each unit includes a guided activity, 2–3 paired activities, and one final challenge activity. Activities meet Next Generation Science Standards and incorporate Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI) and Crosscutting Concepts (CCC). This resource is 160 pages in all. Reprinted in 2018.
