Map out a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving as you ground them in integrated STEM disciplines. This new K–12 curriculum series was developed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into classrooms. Ten books are now available, and there are titles for each grade level, with more to come! |
Elementary Level |
What if you could challenge your first graders to relate changes in seasonal weather patterns to changes in the plant world using a container garden? With Patterns and the Plant World, your students will create a garden and record data about it with an emphasis on data collection, measurement, and presenting numerical data in graphic form. |

|
What if you could challenge your fourth graders to use solar energy to provide the world with clean water? Using Harnessing Solar Energy, your students will investigate potential and kinetic energy, solar energy, the greenhouse effect, and salinity. Students will examine solar energy's potential and limitations while being introduced to the concept of scarce resources and potable water. |
| |
|
| What if you could challenge your fifth graders to develop an economical, eco-friendly wind farm? In Wind Energy, your students will be challenged to develop a wind farm. Working in teams, they will analyze the wind energy potential of a possible location. Then, they will create a proposal that considers the wind farm's cost, energy production, and environmental impact. |
