Playing with Precision is a new, FREE curriculum. With minimal supplies and set up, the activity is easy to implement in both classrooms and after-school programs. It is aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and/or Common Core State Standards (CCSS), just like our other STEM kits.
When you give a child a ball, what is their first instinct? They want to throw it as far and hard as possible. Children rarely take into consideration precision, energy transfer or accuracy. During this hands-on lesson, they will learn about all three of these concepts while also learning about the Engineering Design Process (EDP) through trial and error.
Despite age and skill level, there is a Playing with Precision lesson for every student. STEM Sports® has created 2 curricula, one for 3-5 students and another for 6-8. This was done in order to insure student success. Although both lessons teach the same core concepts, they were both designed to present the material in a way most effective for each age range.
