Develop your sixth 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 6 unit is focused on a hands-on challenge and guides students to work together as engineers to design, prototype, test, and refine their creations. Each unit provides everything you need to guide your students in completing the hands-on challenge, including: Teacher overview pagesTips and directions for preparing students to complete a STEM challenge, as well as a materials list that suggests readily items to gather; Reading selections for background knowledgeFoundational information that is relevant to the challenge that students are completing; Visual real-world examplesA visual literacy page with real-world images relevant to the STEM challenge; A STEM challenge overviewIntroduces the specific task and goal of each STEM challenge and provides space for students to brainstorm; Design process worksheetsActivities guide students to plan, create, test, and evaluate their creation; A redesign page to evaluate their designThe worksheet guides students through each step of the design process and provides space to document plans, materials, results, evaluations, and revisions. Science topics within each unit support Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and teach the STEM process. An answer key is not included, since there isnt one correct answer or solution to solve the problem or complete the challenge.
