The Small Group Set is ideal for groups of 12 students with a large assortment of parts designed to explore STEAM concepts across the curriculum.

This STEAM set will give your students what they need to have in-class team design challenges, explore machines and mathematical concepts, build biological and chemical structures, design and test engineering and physics theories, and create projects in computer science, art, and architecture. Perfect for maker spaces, after school programs, scout groups, and for group therapy.

Sure, you know that children learn best through hands-on explorations. How does that work in a real classroom? With jam-packed days and mounting expectations, you're pressed for time and pushed to follow standards-based curricula. It's no wonder you struggle to incorporate STEAM activites each day.

Provoking Curiosity brings new and easy-to-execute STEAM learning experiences that encourage children 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.

Learn how to 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 building children's collaboration and communication skills

A Helpful Musical Resource to Support STEAM Lessons!

STEAM is an interdisciplinary approach to learning. The goal is to thematically connect science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills with instructional content. This approach encourages intentional curriculum planning and implementation. The STEAM Themes CD adds music to the mix, offering songs organized by popular STEAM themes, and can be a helpful resource to enrich STEAM lessons for PreK and Kindergarten children.

Booklet activities created by Dr. Pam Schiller

A strategy game for two or more players, with two levels of difficulty. Using deductive reasoning and logic, the “decoder” has to break the “secret code” made up by the other player, in the least amount of tries. Then it's the first player's turn to create a combination of colours as complex as possible so that it can't be decoded. The illustrated leaflets included show the different levels of difficulty of the secret code, which may be made up of 4 or 5 positions, using the 8 colors available. Ages 7+

Includes:

• 2 beginner sheets
• 2 expert sheets
• 1 pegboard
• 80 pointpegs
• 280 pegs
• 4 pinpoint pegs
• 1 awl
• 1 code board

Students can design and build an endless variety of structures, from skyscrapers to submarines, dinosaurs to storybook characters using the kit's multi-use planks, rotating pieces and connecting hubs. 320 pieces.

Each game provides challenging and thought provoking questions with Wise Alec™ activity cards to get you moving!

These sets can be played on their own or combined with the original board to create a customized trivia experience!
