Bring STEM to life for students with zombies, rockets, celebrities,
and more STEM to Story: Enthralling and Effective Lesson Plans for
Grades 5-8 inspires learning through fun, engaging, and meaningful
lesson plans that fuse hands-on discovery in science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) with creative writing. The workshop
activities within the book are the innovative result of a
partnership between 826 National's proven creative writing model
and Time Warner Cable's Connect a Million Minds, an initiative
dedicated to connecting young people to the wonders of STEM through
hands-on learning. Authentically aligned with both the Common Core
State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards, this
book provides teachers, after-school and out-of-school providers,
and parents with field-tested lessons, workshops, and projects
designed by professionals in each field. Including reflective
observations by arts and science celebrities like Jon Scieszka,
Mayim Bialik, and Steve Hockensmith, lessons feature bonus
activities, fun facts, and teaching points for instructors at every
level. These quirky, exploratory lessons will effectively awaken
student imaginations and passions for both STEM and creative
writing, encourage identity with scientific endeavors, and make
both science and writing fun. Grades five through eight is the
critical period for engaging students in STEM, and this book is
designed specifically to appeal to and engage this age group. The
guided curricula fosters hands-on discovery, deep learning, and
rich inquiry skills while feeling more like play than school, and
has proven popular and effective with both students and teachers. *
Awaken student imagination and get them excited about STEM * Fuse
creative writing with STEM using hands-on activities * Make
scientific principles relevant to students' lives * Inspire
students to explore STEM topics further The demand for STEM workers
is closely linked to global competitiveness, and a successful
future in STEM depends upon an early introduction to the scientific
mindset. The challenge for teachers is to break through students'
preconceptions of STEM fields as "hard" or "boring," to show them
that STEM is everywhere, it's relevant, and it's loads of fun. For
proven lesson plans with just a dash of weird, STEM to Story is a
dynamic resource, adaptable and applicable in school, after school,
and at home.
