Using Fictional Stories as a Pathway to Science Content
I came across this site:
http://minds-in-bloom.com/stem-i-fying-classroom-finding-r…/
While looking for some STEM ideas for the classroom. There were several reasons I really connected to the ideas it featured and the author’s motivation:
1) I love the approach toward the integration of STEM by starting with your strengths and what you have already in ideas, lessons, and resources.
2) I love that the approach isn’t from 0-60, but starting small.
3) AND…Most of all I love the integration of literacy with science! 🙂 🙂
Wendy Goldfein & Cheryl Nelson said it well, when they said: “Literature has the potential to present situations that can challenge students’ imaginations.”
