In the following video Dr. Diana Wehrell-Grabowski shows highlights of a recent hands-on STEM lesson she conducted for four-six year olds in a voluntary preschool classroom. Implementing STEM practices in the early childhood classroom makes perfect sense. Many early childhood teachers are already implementing and exploring STEM practices and concepts without realizing it. The perfect example is at the Block Center. While young children build with blocks they are indeed learning about many STEM concepts, as well as communication and collaboration skills. In the following video young children rotated freely to a numerous centers to explore STEM concepts. In addition, teachers and students were introduced to numerous children's literature that reinforces STEM concepts.
