Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fuse with creative writing in STEM to Story: Enthralling and Effective Lesson Plans for Grades 5-8, a collection of lesson plans, workshop activities, and hands-on projects designed by professionals to encourage an interest in and passion for both STEM and creative writing in students.
With topics ranging from engineering and paper airplanes, to physical properties and ice cream, sound waves and instruments, and the looming threat of a zombie apocalypse, STEM to Story includes observations by celebrities like Mayim Bialik, Steve Hockensmith, and Jon Scieszka, as well as bonus activities, fun facts, and teaching points for instructors.
STEM to Story is the result of a partnership between 826 National and Time Warner Cable, and is aligned with Common Core State Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards.
