STEM Learning with Young Children: Inquiry Teaching with Ramps and Pathways

Abstract

This teacher\u27s guide provides the background information, STEM concepts, and strategies needed to successfully implement an early STEM curriculum (Ramps and Pathways) with young children, ages 3-8. R&P actively engages young children in designing and building ramp structures using wooden cove molding, releasing marbles on the structures, and observing what happens. Children use logical-mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills as they explore science concepts related to motion, force, and energy.https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1136/thumbnail.jp
