Preparing Tomorrow's STEM Leaders Today
Built on the Up Model
With twelve modules lasting between two and three weeks, STEMscopes Early Explorer was designed to support students ages three through five. It is the first of its kind, built from the ground up to Head Start, state and national PreK and Kindergarten guidelines, and scaffolded to prepare students for NGSS Kindergarten standards. Students get a jump-start on learning science concepts thanks to custom-tailored lessons that can be easily differentiated for all learning styles. All designed around four easy-to-follow lesson design sequences:
An introductory hands-on activity and song to spark the students’ curiosity followed by a series of daily starter activities to keep students engaged throughout the full module.
A wealth of ideas for centers-based individual and small-group self-guided lessons which allow the students to further explore the concept through all their modalities, including science, technology, engineering, math, literacy and motor skills. It is easy for the teacher to differentiate because there are so many centers to choose from!
Each center comes with easy to follow instructions for the teacher. Also provided are questions (with sample student answers) and center signs that make it easy for everyone to navigate and stay on track in a centers-based format.
Teachers are able to evaluate their students' understanding through questioning while students show what they know by creating a culminating project to take home to parents.
A collection of sustained inquiry investigations built to increase student understanding before and after topics have been covered in class. These group investigations pave the way for students to begin thinking scientifically. With 12 modules in Physical, Earth, and Life Sciences, STEMscopes Early Explorer was designed with strong connections to ELA, Writing and Math, rounding out their education needs.
Experience STEMscopes Early Explorer and see how teachers ACTIVATE student learning through facilitated hands-on activities built from the ground up. From hands-on, inquiry-based investigations to math, literacy, art, and engineering differentiation activities, STEMscopes Early Explorer makes teaching science easy, affordable, and engaging.
