What educators are saying

My students loved this resource. It was engaging and helped reinforce student choice and creativity. Good for center activities, small group instruction, and early finishers.
These are amazing addition to my classroom. Students enjoy our routine of working in pairs to complete the task cards. These are a class favorite. Thank you.

STEM BINS 101 VIDEO SERIES

STEM Bins are a creative and developmentally appropriate form of engineering for elementary students!

Listed materials for each STEM Bin are found in most elementary classrooms or can be borrowed from other teachers, and you may choose which materials that you feel are best for your learning environment. Additional STEM engineering tools and photos can be added to the EDITABLE STEM Bin Covers in the separate file. Inexpensive building materials for STEM Bins can be found at Dollar Tree, Walmart, or Target Dollar Spot.

All of the suggested materials and task cards are designed to be INTERCHANGEABLE, meaning that students can use any material with any task card!

The management of your STEM Bins is completely up to you, as they can be used during multiple times of your day. “Challenge Yourself” cards are provided to take structures to the next level, allowing students to improve and enhance their structures. Upper grade supplements are also provided to allow for more challenging options.

The provided blueprint recording sheets, flipbooks, writing templates, and assessment rubrics are optional and can be either copied for each student or placed in page protectors for students to draw creations with a dry erase marker. Writing Prompt cards are also provided to allow for literacy extensions.

INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:
