STEM lesson ideas and lesson plans


Young children are natural-born scientists and engineers.  They can make observations, carry out simple experiments, collect data and begin to make sense of what they find.  Children learn through active exploration, and the drive to observe, interact, discover and explore are inherent in their development.  These traits are a natural fit for developing a love of science and engineering.  STEM, an integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is a great way to introduce these skills for a preschool child. The link below offers classroom STEM lesson ideas that support the young scientists and engineers in your classroom.  Additional link; STEM lesson plans written by Preschool teachers during the Wee STEM PD during the 20-21 school year.  Thank you to the amazing preschool teachers who participated in this PD and wrote these lessons.
