STEM Kits for Science Students

Funded Sep 21, 2020

The students absolutely LOVE the STEM kits. After their classwork is complete they are eager to choose one to work on. They are great activities for early finishers, or for days we just have less work to complete, for example after an assessment.

As I unpacked and assembled the kits the kids were very curious about what they were and how we would be using them. Once I had them all put together, we went through each one to go over the rules and instructions. There are definitely a few favorites, but I am happy to also see them trying new things and using their imaginations.

My next step is to create STEM challenges that the students can choose from and complete. Right now they just get to choose a kit and "free play" or use it for its intended purpose. To challenge them, I would like to create activities they have to complete before moving on to harder challenges.”
