Engage students in grade K while connecting physical activity, good health, and learning using Learning in Motion. Teach basic language arts and math skills with more than 40 activities that help students build physical and mental muscle. These age-appropriate activities cover reading, writing, speaking, listening, and math. The activities focus on concepts of print, syllables, rhyming words, vowels, sight words, capitalization, punctuation, following directions, counting, measurement, sorting, and patterns. These activities support NCTE and NCTM standards while developing flexibility, strength, and endurance. This 80-page book aligns with state, national, and Canadian provincial standards and includes a parent letter and instructions for creating easy-to-use, low-cost activity equipment.

"What if you could challenge your kindergartners to create a mini roller coaster? Physics in Motion turns a fun building project into an opportunity to investigate concepts such as energy, gravity, friction, and speed. Students will use the engineering design process while working collaboratively to design, build, and test marble track roller coasters. They will measure, compare, and evaluate numbers related to their project. They'll use technology to do research and demonstrate their awareness of motion-related concepts. They'll even craft a plan for making the roller coaster part of a theme park and then create a flyer to advertise it. The module is an entry point for students to explore the physics of motion through play and then decide which roller coaster design is best"--

Kids use movement to play, communicate, and express emotions. This book show teachers how they can channel this kinesthetic language into constructive learning experiences.

STEM Road Map: A Framework for Integrated STEM Education is the first resource to offer an integrated STEM curricula encompassing the entire K-12 spectrum, with complete grade-level learning based on a spiraled approach to building conceptual understanding. A team of over thirty STEM education professionals from across the U.S. collaborated on the important work of mapping out the Common Core standards in mathematics and English/language arts, the Next Generation Science Standards performance expectations, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning into a coordinated, integrated, STEM education curriculum map. The book is structured in three main parts—Conceptualizing STEM, STEM Curriculum Maps, and Building Capacity for STEM—designed to build common understandings of integrated STEM, provide rich curriculum maps for implementing integrated STEM at the classroom level, and supports to enable systemic transformation to an integrated STEM approach. The STEM Road Map places the power into educators’ hands to implement integrated STEM learning within their classrooms without the need for extensive resources, making it a reality for all students.
