STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) is coming to elementary!
Why is this secondary teacher making lessons for primary grades?
Elementary students LOVE science, but primary level teachers often struggle with ways to make science accessible to their students. Although my background is secondary science, I have three young daughters and I'm passionate about making STEAM available to their schools. My "STEAM for Primary Grades"
lessons are ones that I have created and taught in my kids' classrooms. I promise that your class will love the activities just as much as they did!
*Next Generation Science Standards: K-LS1-1, K-ESS2-2, & K-ESS3-1.
