No glue or connectors required...simply stack the precision-milled, solid pine KEVA planks to create buildings, monuments and geometric forms. Its the ideal activity to help kids gain an understanding of balance and proportion, as well as an interest in architecture, building and design. A 24-page, full-color idea booklet with build-out instructions is also included. Compatible with our larger, 400-Plank KEVA Structures Set.
Introduce readers to JavaScript, a programming language that makes websites interactive. It lets us use search boxes, watch online videos, and more! A digital Page Plus feature allows readers to experiment on their own with fun coding activities.
Early childhood teachers continue to seek activities that promote STEM-based learning. But most STEM books focus on science and math, excluding technology and engineering. Creative Investigations in Early Engineering and Technology helps teachers create a more well-rounded STEM learning program.
Encourage children to think, make, tinker and innovate
Introduce engineering skills such as coding in a developmentally appropriate way
Leverage children's use of digital technologies to help them learn new skills
Promote active engagement and participation in classroom learning
This must have resource is ideal to supplement, enhance or enrich any science program! Focus on concepts and skills to enable students to become familiar with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) concepts. Students will be also introduced to STEM occupations. Pages are ready-to-go, reproducible and include informational text, experiments, extension activities and teacher pages.
Combine the charm and whimsy of fractured fairy tales with solid science content, and what do you get? The STEM-Twisted Fairy Tales series and a reader reaction that's equal parts giggles, wonder, and "NOW I get it!" moments. Back matter features encourage further learning and discussion of key physics concepts.
This is the BIG ONE! It gives you Structures, Pulleys & Cranks, Wheels & Axles, and Gears, Sprockets, & Chains all in one. It's ideal for library makerspaces and creative spaces in classrooms. It's big enough to share across classrooms and it's a BIG launching pad for special challenges and schoolwide design/build projects and contests.
These everyday items provide you with the basic materials you need to build your next STEM creation. We provide the "basics," but the rest is up to you, your creativity, and your STEM skills.
The Giant Water Pump features a cog system that is powered by a turning handle to transport water up a narrow tube and out through the spout. As an early STEM tool, children will learn how to make the pump work and demonstrate its uses. Includes stand, three cogs (one with handle), plastic tubing, outlet pipe, water drive cord and suction feet.
Unique, connect-anywhere Brackitz attach to traditional planks at any angle, enabling builders of all ages to construct everything from small-scale builds to larger-than-life gravity-defying, 3-D structures - with their friends or alone - no limits. With plastic planks and rotating pieces, the Inventor 100 Piece Set is a great for larger builds and enables anyone to create builds with moving parts! Versatile, durable, and portable, award-winning Brackitz brings real-life art, math, science, architecture, and engineering principles into play.
INFRA the robot moves when receiving an IR (Infrared) signal from any home remote control. This build-your-own robot kit is a member of the Funtastic Robotics series which introduces budding young scientists to the exciting world of robotics. Included are a double-sided 24 in. x 24 in. colorful instruction and activity poster as well as components such a computer module, motor, chassis, gears, and colorful unique shaped cover. Detailed illustrated instructions for building the robot followed by stimulating learning activities provides hours of robotics fun.

Using real-life situations, the puzzle introduces a problem that an understanding of science can help solve. The text takes the reader through science concepts, continually referring to the puzzle while the reader can start to solve the puzzle using reasoning and the process of elimination. Discover Activity Contains a hands-on activity that helps the reader connect the puzzle to science by observing science in action. Solve the iScience Puzzle After the necessary concepts have been explained, the reader is encouraged to solve the puzzle. If there is more than one way to solve it, the readers decides which solution they would choose. Beyond the Puzzle Includes further challenges to reinforce the concepts and stretch the imagination. Science at Work A section on careers in science that relate to the books topic. Connecting to History Relates an interesting historical perspective or milestone in the science topics history.
