Book
Teaching STEM literacy : a constructivist approach for ages 3 to 8 / Juliana Texley, Ruth M. Ruud.
This book provides early childhood educators with creative ideas for three-dimensional STEM learning - content, concepts, and practices - that are developmentally appropriate, play-based, and aligned to children's literature. It uses the 5E framework - Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate - and cultivates children's skills of observation, questioning, and data collection. Includes resources like "Dear Families" letters and safety notes.

"Teaching STEM Literacy is comprised of ready-made, open-ended lessons reviewed and tested by teachers, which help educators integrate STEM learning into the early childhood classroom. Lessons are linked to the Next Generation Science Standards, and encourage creative ideas for three-dimensional STEM learning that are developmentally appropriate and exemplified through children's literature. Juliana Texley holds a master's in biology and chemistry, and a PhD in curriculum development/science education from Wayne State University, and has over thirty years of teaching experience. She is a graduate-level adjunct professor specializing in educational technology and assessment, science, and science teaching at Central Michigan University and Lesley University in Massachusetts. Texley has been a National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) member for thirty years, and served as president from 2014-2015. She is on the board for Young Voices for the Planet and led the development and evaluation of online learning programs for JASON Learning. Ruth M. Ruud has over thirty-five years of teaching experience ranging from early childhood to undergraduate studies. She has a master's degree in education with additional coursework in all areas of science. A former DeltaEducation FOSS (Full Option Science System) consultant, Ruth currently works as an adjunct professor teaching physical geography courses at Cleveland State University. She served as president of the Pennsylvania Science Teachers Association and has chaired a number of committees of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), is a member of the NSTA Recommends committee, and is the head reviewer for the NSTA Shell Science Lab Challenge"-- - Baker & Taylor
"This book contains twelve developmentally appropriate units for STEM physical and Earth science in early childhood. Each unit illustrates three-dimensional learning, emphasizing practice, content, and concept and leading to an engineering or problem-based experience. Sidebars in the lessons show samples of alignments to CCSS for language arts and mathematics"-- - Perseus Publishing
