30 Hours of STEAM ADVENTURES Bundle - 8 3-6 Hour Units Upper Elementary GATE

None of these adventures appear in the STEAM CLASS CURRICULUM collection--a great supplement to your class at more than 33% off individual unit prices.

Your kids will love these (part 1 of 2)! Tons of hands-on challenge and full of critical thinking—these eight units are heavily engineering and building focused with strong doses of math, physics, and topics across the curriculum. We’re not just making stuff, we’re learning physical science and math through hands-on applications and real world experiences in miniature.

The units are self-contained and each span 3 to 6 hours of classroom time. Ability level ranges from 3rd grade gifted and talented to 7th grade with 5th grade GATE most appropriate.

See the individual previews for more specific information . . .

Each unit will require materials not typically found in the classroom but easily purchased online or at your local craft store--dowels, wheels, spools, and craft sticks. Plenty of classroom materials and junk drawer items round out the materials requirements. Again, please see the preview . . .
