Smart Start STEM-Kindergarten

Science, technology, engineering, and math are cool! That is the goal of STEM education—getting students interested in these areas of study instead of becoming shy or anxious. Kids gain an understanding of intriguing life, earth, and physical science topics while learning critical and creative problem solving-skills. Parents act as facilitators, guiding their children through the problem-solving process. A STEM journal activity helps guide children through the engineering design process: plan, create, test, and record. Units include: Physical Science (Shapes, Sizes, and More, Solids and Liquids, Does the Magnet Stick?, Wheels Do the Work), Life Science (What Plants Need, What Animals Need, Plant Parts, Living Things, People Grow and Change), and Earth Science (Bodies of Water, Seasons, Rocks). Includes answer key. 128 pages
