This is a set of four hands which introduces Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) into the special education classroom. My school was part of a Stem pilot project and we trialled a range of technology across the school and then presented to a Special Education meeting. These handouts were made for the meeting. It looks at Blue-bots, Spheros, Virtual Reality and Scratch Jr. Each handout has technical advice, lesson plans with learning intentions and a list of resources. These activities were created for students with special needs (SEN) but can be used as a valuable resource for early years.

Lego challenge cards, symbol supported for non / early readers. Some are Christmas themed as I’ve just made them to try and keep my children busy during this last week. Children choose or are given a card which gives an instruction - e.g. build a Christmas tree / first letter of your name and use Lego to build as instructed. It’s a fairly open ended activity but my hope is to provide more structure and purpose to play for my children with autism as some have very short attention spans and flit from activity to activity without any meaningful engagement. 24 cards in all, best printed onto card or laminated so they last.

I have used these discussion bubbles to aid communication and partner talk in a wide range of lessons. Contains symbols from Widgit Inprint 3 software. 3 bubbles - giving a new opinion 3 bubbles - agreeing 3 bubbles - disagreeing 3 bubbles - building/questioning an opinion

STEM Challenges is a fun way to incorporate science, technology and design into your classroom. This packet focuses on STEM challenges with a May and May the 4th be with you theme. Each activity in this book includes step by step instructions, large challenge card with instructions, six page STEM mini-journal and a one page quick STEM page. The STEM activities in this packet are centered around the month of May. The STEM, STEAM or Makerspace challenges are: Build a Space Station Recreate Yourself Create a Robot Build a Kaleidoscope There are two different options for your students to use to journal their STEM challenges. The first is a mini-booklet that they can make which has a half of piece of paper to work on each section of the design process. This option gives the students more room to work on the design process. The second option is a quick STEM printable you can use which saves paper, while giving students to develop their project using design methodology. Each option has its own benefits and you can use which one suits your needs. You can also attach both options into a stem notebook if you have one available for each student. These were made to be versatile to work as stand alone stem centers that require minimal supervision or a whole class activity.

This inquiry-based STEM unit aligned with standards takes students of all abilities into natural and/or virtual settings to observe flight. Watching butterflies, an albatross, and a dragonfly, students learn the science of flight and apply it to engineering designs for paper airplanes. Formative assessment is used to assess prior knowledge and what students learn from experiential learning and inquiry. After completing the unit, typical and gifted students are challenged to design a paper airplane unlike any previously designed. Gifted students are also encouraged to investigate how observing flight in nature is being used to create robotics and drones
