Description

Get your 3rd Grade geared up for real-world creative and critical thinking projects with the STEAM Design Challenges Resource Book. Rather than teachers giving students step-by-step directions, this book lets educators hand over the problem to the students as an interactive design challenge! Set up teams and see if students can put on their "thinking caps" to come up with their own creative solutions to real-world Engineering Design Process problems presented in the book. Background information presented (like sketches, diagrams, mathematical relationships, and literacy connections) help students utilize various learning styles and collaborate with others to create their very own models and products. This resource book (putting the educator as a facilatator) contains 152 pages and a year's worth of teacher lesson plans! All lessons/projects are in an easy-to-follow-format and classroom-tested for Grade 3.
