STEM Lessons and Challenges fosters students' critical thinking, innovation, communication, and peer collaboration!

Develop your fifth 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 5 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.
• A redesign page to evaluate their design—The worksheet guides students through each step of the design process and provides space to document plans, materials, results, evaluations, and revisions.

Examples of STEM challenges and science topics from grade 5 include:
• Mousetrap (Life Science Concept: Simple Machines)
• Oil Spill Boom (Earth Science Concept: Buoyancy/Properties of Oil)
• Remote-Control Game (Physical Science Concept: Compound Machines)

Science topics within each unit support Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and teach the STEM process. An answer key is not included, since there isn't one correct answer or solution to solve the problem or complete the challenge. STEM Lessons and Challenges fosters students' critical thinking, innovation, communication, and peer collaboration!

Help your first graders master key math skills, and provide differentiated math practice through fun, hands-on activities in these 12 centers. Each full-color center focuses on a skill from a Common Core State Standards math domain, such as numbers and counting, operations, measurement and data, and geometry.

The easy-to-assemble centers are stored in pocket folders, making them easy to use at a table, desk, or quiet area in the classroom. After a teacher or classroom aide models how to use a center, students can complete the activity independently, in pairs, or with the teacher, who may use the task to informally assess a student's understanding.

Each of the 12 centers includes:
• full-color center mats and task cards
• an overview with lesson objectives
• a student direction page that explains the center activity
• a written practice activity
• a center checklist to record each student's progress

Take It to Your Seat: Common Core Math Centers has been updated to address the new advanced standards and provides:
• an increase in the variety and complexity of activities to practice each skill in alignment with Common Core State Standards.
• leveled tasks within some centers so that tasks progress in difficulty from level 1 to level 2 or level 3.
• an illustrated math concept or rule for every center to support visual learners and keep the focus on the targeted math concept or skill.

Take It to Your Seat Science Centers, Grades PreK-K has everything you need for 16 centers that explore science concepts and practice literacy skills. These colorfully illustrated centers, stored in folders or plastic envelopes, are ideal for small groups and individual practice. The concepts covered include: identifying living and non-living things, relative position of objects, comparing and sorting by physical attributes, classifying plants and animals, understanding plant life cycles, understanding animal life cycles, identifying major structures of animals, identifying major structures of a plant, understanding where food comes from, identifying human body parts, understanding how weather affects our lives, identifying animal habitats, recognizing solid and liquid forms, and identifying sun, Earth, and moon.

An updated and expanded version of The World Blank map Forms. You get 92 maps in all, including physical maps, political maps, and blank maps for students to fill out. Just a few of the maps included are of the world, individual continents, Canada, United States, Mexico, and U.S. regions. Also included are evaluation forms, a crossword puzzle, a word search, and an answer key. 112 pages.
