Books that Promote STEM/STEAM Learning in Early Childhood

An enhanced emphasis on STEM/STEAM learning at all levels of education is a trend that continues to gain support. Based on the results of several national testing efforts, it is apparent that students in the United States need a stronger focus on the mathematics and science areas to be competitive globally. Integration of STEM in the early years exposes young children to a problem-solving approach to learning that aligns with their own curiosity. The integration of STEM in these critical years of early childhood may spark an interest in and increase preparation in these fields in the future, which could lead to interest in STEM careers. The list of resources below will guide teachers in incorporating STEAM learning to their current centers, activities, and curriculum by causing children to wonder, investigate, and make their own discoveries.

Learning Through Investigations With the Project Approach

Introduced to early childhood education almost a century ago, the project approach to learning gives children the freedom to follow their own interests, gain deeper understanding, and figure out solutions in their own unique way. A project is an extended, in-depth investigation of a real-world topic, and supplements curriculums with opportunities for children to seek knowledge through sensory, first-hand explorations. Whether they involve an entire class, or small groups, project based learning ideas are flexible and engaging, allowing teachers the freedom to introduce exciting new topics to their classrooms that align with the interests of their students.
