Life Science Centers / Lab Stations Bundle - Cross-curricular STEAM Activities

Want to head full steam into S.T.E.A.M., but not sure how to get started? Try our twist on S.T.E.A.M.! With science as the primary background subject, students learn all about life science using Social Studies, Technology, ELA, Art, and Math. With over 280 stations, these student-led, print and go, low-to-no prep Science Circuit Stations are easy to implement with a few household items.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THIS LESSON:

• Signage in two sizes for eight stations, blank templates to create your own stations, and student station role description for each of the following:

→ Explorer: Students learn about current scientific events, historical figures and global happenings

→ Researcher: Students use technology to research related topics

→ Maker: Students engage in engineering, designing, building, assembling, and/or experimenting

→ Scriber: Students write a response to a question or problem

→ Reader: Students answer questions related to a reading passage

→ Performer: Students use their creativity as they participate in one of the many arts

→ Solver: Students use their math skills to answer science related math problems

→ Scholar: Students complete a final assessment piece that aligns with the lessons in the circuit
