STEAM Unit Plan - designing walls
Through this unit the lessons build towards several Performance Expectations in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as well as the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (CCSS ELA). It is important to remember that the lessons cannot be taught in isolation or the standards will not be addressed. Although the CCSS ELA standards cited here are at the second grade level, the anchor standards from which they were developed can be found at all grade levels.
