I love mixing STEM and language arts skills! My students always love when I introduce context clues with a nonsense word. So I combined this and STEM task cards. We also use them in our morning bins. First students need to read the card and have to determine the meaning of the nonsense word. Once they know the nonsense word, they use the provided STEM materials (legos, pattern blocks, playdoh, pipe cleaners, etc.) to build the item.
