These everyday items provide you with the basic materials you need to build your next STEM creation. We provide the "basics," but the rest is up to you, your creativity, and your STEM skills.

These dynamic resources provide guided lessons to integrate project-based learning into your science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum. Each unit provides background information for teachers and students and moves from teacher-directed activities toward more open-ended activities. The culminating activity in each unit allows students to design their own unique “invention” or conduct an experiment of their own creation. Students will be challenged to work collaboratively, using a design process that helps them “step into STEM” with greater competence and confidence. 160 pages.

Approach KEVA from a whole new angle with this interactive STEM tool! Brain Builders combines 20 KEVA planks with a set of double-sided puzzle cards. Each stimulating card features a 2-D challenge on one side and its solution on the other. The goal is to recreate 2-D patterns into 3-D structures. The 2-D cards show the design from different angles highlighting the front, side and overhead view and increase in difficulty from beginner to expert. Manipulate your KEVA planks to successfully duplicate the balance, proportion, composition and geometry featured on each card. Once you think you've solved the blueprint, flip it over to check the solution—try to resist the urge to peek! As each build becomes more challenging, patience and confidence is gained through trial and error. From picnic tables and rowboats to swans and snails, you will be amazed what your brain will build! Time to put your 3-D imagination to the test!

• Strengthens STEM, fine-motor, strategy, physics and basic engineering skills
• A new and exciting way to experience KEVA planks
• Perfect for on-the-go learning
• Includes 20 durable planks, 30 double-sided cards in a zippered carrying case

Create visually dynamic bulletin boards to generate excitement for your STEM/STEAM activities and events, inspire student interest, promote creativity, super-charge imaginations, and spark more hands-on, “maker” endeavors by students. Posters are graphically compatible with the popular superhero and comic book classroom themes already in use. Set includes eight 17" x 11" (43.2 x 27.9 cm) posters. 8 pieces

This comprehensive pack features 15 engaging topics in life, physical, and earth sciences that support the Next Generation Science Standards. Each topic comes in a self-contained folder with an anchor text from the award-winning SuperScience magazine, multiple copies of two hands-on investigations, companion reproducible recording sheets, management tips, plus links to an online video and bonus activities.

Develop your first grade students' creative problem-solving skills with STEM Lessons and Challenges. Students apply science, technology, engineering, and math concepts to solve real-world problems.

Every grade 1 unit is focused on a hands-on challenge and guides students to work together as engineers to design, prototype, test, and refine their creations.

• The 15 grade-appropriate STEM challenges target life, Earth, and physical science concepts.
• Every unit is focused on a hands-on challenge in which students apply the STEM process of plan, create, test, and redesign.
• No-prep lessons and easy-to-find materials help you fit STEM learning into the busy school day.

Each unit provides everything you need to guide your students in completing the hands-on challenge, including:

• Teacher overview pages—Tips and directions for preparing students to complete a STEM challenge, as well as a materials list that suggests readily available items to gather.
• Reading selections for background knowledge—Foundational information that is relevant to the challenge that students are completing.
• Visual real-world examples—A visual literacy page with real-world images relevant to the STEM challenge.
• A STEM challenge overview—Introduces the specific task and goal of each STEM challenge and provides space for students to brainstorm.
• Design process worksheets—Activities guide students to plan, create, test, and evaluate their creation.
• A redesign page to evaluate their design—The worksheet guides students through each step of the design process and provides space to document plans, materials, results, evaluations, and revisions.

Examples of STEM challenges and science topics from grade 1 include:

• Marble Roller Coaster (Physical Science concept: Force and Motion)
• Natural Homes (Earth Science Concept: Natural Homes)
• Insect Catcher (Life Science Concept: Studying Insects)

Science topics within each unit support grade 1 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and teach the STEM process. An answer key is not included, since there isn't one correct answer or solution to solve the problem or complete the challenge.

STEM Lessons and Challenges fosters students' critical thinking, innovation, communication, and peer collaboration!
