🔬 Science Exploration
Explore living things, materials, weather, light, sound, motion, water, earth science, physical science, and everyday scientific discoveries.
Explore science, technology, engineering, coding, mathematics, experiments, investigations, inquiry learning, nature studies, problem solving, and hands-on discovery experiences designed for young learners.
The Science & STEM Resource Library gives educators practical ways to help children investigate the world around them. Explore science experiences, engineering challenges, technology and coding activities, mathematics, experiments, nature investigations, inquiry learning, and hands-on discovery.
Discover resources that encourage children to wonder, investigate, experiment, build, test ideas, solve problems, and make sense of the world around them.
Explore living things, materials, weather, light, sound, motion, water, earth science, physical science, and everyday scientific discoveries.
Give children opportunities to make predictions, test ideas, observe results, compare outcomes, and discuss what they discover.
Encourage children to design, build, test, modify, solve problems, and explain how their creations work.
Introduce age appropriate technology, sequencing, patterns, computational thinking, digital tools, and beginning coding concepts.
Explore counting, quantity, patterns, shapes, measurement, sorting, comparison, spatial reasoning, and mathematical problem solving.
Support children's questions, observations, investigations, theories, documentation, and growing understanding of how things work.
Nature provides endless opportunities for observation, questioning, comparison, investigation, and scientific thinking.
Explore plants, animals, habitats, weather, seasons, natural materials, and the living world.
Explore Nature →Investigate insects, animals, plants, growth, life cycles, habitats, and living systems.
Explore Living Things →Observe weather patterns, seasonal changes, temperature, clouds, wind, rain, and natural events.
Explore Weather →Encourage children to look closely, ask questions, record observations, and share discoveries.
Explore Discovery →STEM challenges give children opportunities to think, design, collaborate, test ideas, learn from mistakes, and develop persistence.
Design and build structures using blocks, recycled materials, classroom materials, and loose parts.
Explore Challenges →Encourage children to create solutions to meaningful classroom problems.
Explore Design →Develop reasoning, persistence, collaboration, and creative approaches to challenges.
Explore Problem Solving →Help children test ideas, notice what happens, make changes, and try again.
Explore Testing →STEM documentation helps educators capture children's questions, predictions, observations, discoveries, explanations, and problem solving.
Record questions, predictions, observations, discoveries, drawings, and reflections.
Give children a place to record what they see, notice, compare, and discover.
Encourage children to share what they think might happen before an investigation.
Capture children's discoveries, explanations, questions, and ideas after an investigation.
Invite families to explore, observe, build, investigate, measure, and wonder together through simple everyday STEM experiences.
Simple science, mathematics, building, and discovery experiences families can explore together.
Explore Family STEM →Encourage children and families to ask questions and investigate everyday experiences.
Explore Investigations →Share simple, age appropriate experiments that encourage observation and conversation.
Explore Experiments →Build, create, solve, and test ideas together using ordinary household materials.
Explore Challenges →STEM learning begins with curiosity. When children ask questions, make predictions, explore materials, build, experiment, investigate, measure, compare, and explain their thinking, they are developing the foundations of scientific and mathematical thinking.
