STEM Road Map Curriculum Project

What if you could challenge your third graders to design the train of the future? Challenge your sixth graders to design an amusement park of the future? Have your eleventh graders develop safer exit protocols and building materials for high rises? With the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series, you can!

.

Each one of the 32 books in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series outlines a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving while grounding them in integrated STEM disciplines. The series is designed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into K–12 classrooms. Each book is an interdisciplinary module that uses project- and problem-based learning to help your students connect STEM learning and authentic problems of the modern world.

The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. In-depth and flexible, this resource can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.
