STEM Preschool: Engineering Camp / Co-op Class

I'm teaching a STEM Preschool class this term to our preschool-2nd grade homeschool class, and I am super excited to share my plans with you all! 

You can use these lessons as stand-alone lessons (they're each about 45 minutes), put them together to make a STEM Preschool Camp this spring or summer, or use them once a week in a co-op like we are! Or, use them in any way you find useful! They are all fun, hands-on learning experiences that are perfect for preschoolers!

I will write a lesson plan up for each week and link it to the following outline:

Week 1: Musical Marble Runs

Projects: Musical Marble Runs

Science Concepts: sound, gravity, force (a push or pull)

Week 2: Stomp Rockets with 2-liter Bottles

Projects: Paper Rockets

Science Concepts: gravity, force

Week 3: Bridges

Projects: TP Roll & Cardboard Bridges

Science Concepts: strong shapes, structural support

Week 4: Newspaper Towers

Projects: Newspaper Towers

Science Concepts: force, structural support, gravity

Week 5: Marble Mazes

Projects: Cardboard Marble Mazes

Science Concepts: sizes and spaces

I'll also package the five lessons up into a nice download for y'all too, in case you'd like to just print off the lessons! That will be available right here...but coming soon!

Happy Educating,

Carla
