This practical guide outlines a vision for online and distance STEM learning at the elementary level, with creative activities based on eight STEM themes.

Online and distance learning may sound fairly straightforward. Instead of learning in a classroom setting, students learn at home with the assistance of online resources. But classroom learning does not always translate easily to online settings, particularly at the elementary level where children should be actively engaging in activities, exploration and discussion.

For STEM subjects, integration across subjects, settings and play-based versus traditional learning present opportunities for young learners to engage in age-appropriate online and distance learning. This book features eight creative, integrated STEM lessons, including ideas for designing a zoo, learning to garden, exploring the night sky and more. Each lesson offers online, traditional and hands-on components, with connections to the ISTE Standards and STEM standards across elementary grades.

Each of the eight lessons includes:

An overview of materials, resources, time and supervision needed.
Suggested resources to explore, such as simulations and virtual field trips.
Supplementary learning materials such as questions and quizzes.
Ideas for games and reinforcement.
Hands-on activities and engineering design challenges.
Connections to various content areas as well as children's books, movies and art to keep the learning going after the lesson is completed.

Concluding with a model for designing online and distance STEM learning for elementary-aged children, this book will support teachers and parents in designing the types of resources and learning experiences they need for elementary students' distance learning.

Industry Reviews

Thomas does an excellent job writing this book from a perspective that supports both teachers and parents, and pulls in beneficial examples that can be done with limited to no budget, at home or in a classroom . . . distance and online learning are not going away any time soon. Even for educators returning to the classroom, these activities will still work well. Plus, for parents and caregivers looking to have fun at home with additional STEM activities and lessons, this book is an excellent resource.
