Grade 1:
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.
