https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf Let's bring reading into STEM & STEAM en-us 2018-10-09 01:46:13 UTC 2023-02-18 10:04:09 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290536091 This book is a great way to add a thematic approach to STEM. The students would be making a contraption to catch their elf. This allows for design, creativity, as well as engineering all in one. While the students are using Language Arts skills and reading, they are also using engineering skills. ]]> 2018-10-09 01:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290536091 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290537967 This not only can help to focus on animals, but can be used for hibernation study. We can show the children how the bear hibernates while they create a place to keep the bear comfortable during the hibernating period. Being able to focus on this science topic of living things, can help with hibernation as well as living things and animal study. ]]> 2018-10-09 01:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290537967 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290538502 By reading this book students can learn about living things, and animals in a fun way. The book goes through with different animal parts, and therefore you could bring in living things, and even geography about where these animals live. Being able to add in habitats and ecosystems for each animal would make a great science lesson. The students could solve a problem and or create said ecosystem for their animal. ]]> 2018-10-09 02:01:35 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290538502 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290538904 The book that can bring imagination to life! Being able to bury treasure in their imagination, and build and design something to bury it in. It would be easy enough to complete a design challenge that would work for this book. ]]> 2018-10-09 02:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290538904 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290539066 This book is all about engineering, and design. It can be a great way to introduce not only a strong female character, but also talk about history while you are reading. We can talk about how women stepped into different roles, and became stronger, and more independent breaking gender roles in our history. The engineering aspect is a great way to bring STEM into the classroom. ]]> 2018-10-09 02:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290539066 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290539395 This book is all about how we can create things out of what most people would call junk. The book speaks about a little girl who is never happy with her inventions. It could also be a learning experience for students who don't have that self confidence with inventing or their ideas yet. Being able to use their creativity and engineering skills would allow for students to get through a challenge. This could also include life skills, and go through with LA standards as well. ]]> 2018-10-09 02:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290539395 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290980254 This book is great to spark ideas, and encourage creativity within stem challenges. It could simply be a new design or invention, or following your thoughts. This could truly bring in two of the staples in STEM infused learning: collaboration and communication. Reading this book allows for a spark to ignite and allows for ideas to begin within the classroom. ]]> 2018-10-09 19:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290980254 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290982260 This book goes into great rhyming and illustrative details on the periodic table. This can be a great nonfiction book for kids to learn about science in a fun way. They would then learn about the elements, and can do a challenge on these. ]]> 2018-10-09 19:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290982260 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290987442 This thematic approach to STEM literature is found with this fable. Students not only can learn about measurement through Math, they can learn about plants, and the parts of a plant through the magic beans. Learning about how to incorporate the different things that plants need to grow, and the parts of a plant includes great science aspects. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290987442 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290988837 I love the Splat the Cat books. It can show animal interactions, as well as bring about some talking about animals. Students can create a mousetrap for Splat to use. This would be a great challenge for them to complete. A great science fiction book to speak about. The students could also create a mouse carrier. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290988837 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290990411 This book is a great thing to speak about plants, and organisms. Being able to talk about what a plant needs to survive, as well as how nature and the earth can put an impact on the plant itself. This can also be another great book to speak about seeds, and the parts of a plant. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290990411 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290990949 A great science book to talk about Gravity. Students can use this book to speak about forces, and motion. It would also be a great book to focus on gravity and it's effects, and how we need it. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290990949 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290994775 This is a science nonfiction which talks about the seashore. It is a great way for students to learn about the science topic of waves, and tides. This could go into gravity and how these are effected by the moon and the gravitational pull of the moon. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:27:34 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290994775 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290999368 This book is all about storms, and can allow students to have a challenge with what causes storms, and reading about them as well. It could be great to create a storm tracker, or something along those lines. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/290999368 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/291000035 Not only is this a great movement and music book, but it helps students to recognize sounds, and where they come from, how they hear them, as well as weather. Being able to use different sounds, and play around with sound waves, as well as learning about weather. Challenges could include a new instrument that would make the sounds of thunder, or a weather storm in a bottle. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/291000035 edodds3 https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/291000484 This book is a great little book that speaks about Fall and Fall leaves. We can do lessons with STEM on topics like plants, trees, and even weather changes that cause seasonal changes. Photosynthesis can also be spoken about within this lesson using this book. Challenges such as making a leave change colors without being outside, or creating a leaf catcher. ]]> 2018-10-09 20:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/edodds3/3fpzihzqxmjf/wish/291000484
