Picture-Perfect STEM Lessons, K–2: Using Children’s Books to Inspire STEM Learning - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

For teachers eager to integrate STEM into their school day, Picture-Perfect STEM Lessons is an exciting development. This book’s 15 kid-friendly lessons convey how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics intersect in the real world. They embed reading-comprehension strategies that integrate the STEM subjects and English language arts through high-quality picture books. You’ll help your K–2 students engage in STEM activities while learning to read and reading to learn.

Picture-Perfect STEM Lessons, K–2 draws on diverse and attention-grabbing books such as The Handiest Things in the World, The Day the Crayons Came Home, and I Wanna Iguana. The lessons will lead your students to ask questions and define problems; obtain, evaluate, and communicate information; and engage in argument from evidence. Along the way, students invent a handy backpack, design their own process for recycling crayons, and build a model habitat for an imaginary pet. Through these lessons and activities, all young students, including reluctant scientists and struggling readers, will quickly find themselves absorbed in STEM-related discovery.

Along with these new lessons come the easy-to-use features that have made Picture-Perfect a bestselling series for more than a dozen years:

• Fiction and nonfiction book pairs
• Background reading, materials lists, student pages, and assessments for each lesson
• Connections to science standards and the Common Core State Standards for both English language arts and mathematics.
• • 
    Picture-Perfect STEM is a powerful tool for guiding instruction. You’ll love how effective this book is, and your students will love learning about STEM.
