Summary:

"Full STEAM ahead! Ignite children's passion for easy and engaging STEAM activities. Sure, you know that children learn best through hands-on explorations that capture their interest and imagination. But how does that actually work in a real classroom? With jam-packed days and mounting expectations, you're pressed for time and pushed to follow standards-based curriculums. It's no wonder you struggle to incorporate engaging STEAM explorations each day. Provoking Curiosity brings teachers of children from preschool through 3rd grade new and easy-to-execute STEAM learning experiences. Each activity is developmentally appropriate and engages children-individually, in small groups, or in one large group-to think, explore, and wonder. Each exploration builds on core ideas in the STEAM disciplines, develops higher-level thinking skills, and uses readily available materials in early childhood classrooms. Use STEAM provocations throughout your busy day: Jump-start the morning Decompress and reenergize midday Occupy children who complete assigned classroom work early Incentivize children to complete a goal Transition between the busier times of day and planned classroom work times End the day empowering children to build their collaboration and communication skills before heading home The inviting STEAM explorations in Provoking Curiosity will remind children that learning can be enjoyable and that they are capable of success in the STEAM disciplines"-- [Provided by publisher]
