Before I taught in an elementary science lab, I taught special education and second grade. I used anchor charts in both of these settings. Naturally, I would use this beneficial tool in my science/STEAM lab. Science concepts can be particularly difficult and complex, so having anchor charts is
The Best STEM Books I love to check out the new STEM picture books on the National Science Teaching Associations website. In January, they publish a list of “best STEM books.” The books on the list are all books that were published the year before. I find that

Our Science Units are Aligned to NGSS As each science unit was developed, we studied each Next Generation Science Standard. In addition, we looked closely at all of the NGSS evidence statements that go with each standard. The evidence statements give added detail about what students should know and be
