STEM MULTI-SPORT PRESCHOOL

CURRICULUM

Students will exercise their minds and bodies while acquiring essential life skills that build confidence and a strong foundation. Young minds and bodies will have the opportunity to explore the world of STEM using a variety of sports that include: Basketball, Football, Hockey, Soccer, and T-ball. The PK curriculum instinctively engages students by sparking curiosity through each of its ten (10) lessons, such as: 

  • How to make the perfect basketball shot while learning about the solar system.
  • How to play hockey while understanding the composition of ice.
  • How science plays an important role in the design and construct of protective headgear.
  • How to use wind turbines to harness the wind while bike racing.
  • How to design and engineer a T-Ball tee using prototyping materials.

The curriculum includes and connects to the following resources: 

  • Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF) Goals.
  • SEL Immersion: CLASS® Tool Dimensions and “Morning Huddle” / “Postgame Reflection” (Start/End of Day message)
  • Emergent Language and Literacy Connections

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Every lesson bridges play with real-world STEM applications! For example:
  • Module 9: Students learn about the solar system while practicing basketball shots (gravity and angles).
  • Module 5: They harness wind energy concepts during bike races.
  • Module 10: Kids engineer their own T-ball tee using prototyping materials.
Sports aren’t just games—they’re gateways to STEM careers like engineering, meteorology, and robotics!
Absolutely! The curriculum is designed for all learners:
  • Adaptive Play: Substitute equipment (e.g., foam balls for safety, larger targets for motor challenges).
  • No Competitive Pressure: Focus on exploration (e.g., “Design a Shoe!” in Module 3) over athletic performance.
  • SEL Integration: Morning Huddles build confidence and teamwork, ensuring no child feels left out.

Young learners take ownership through:

  • Inquiry-Based Challenges: “How can we make ice melt slower for hockey?” (Module 8).
  • Choice-Driven Activities: Let students pick materials for their T-ball tee design (Module 10).
  • Peer Teaching: Collaborative tasks like “Catch Me If You Can!” (Module 6) encourage leadership.
The flexible 5E lesson structure allows you to:
  • Extend Lessons: Add the “6th E” (Extend) with bonus experiments (e.g., testing wind turbine designs post-Module 5).
  • Reuse Activities: Morning Huddles/Postgame Reflections reinforce concepts daily.
  • Cross-Domain Integration: One activity (e.g., “Game Day Weather Woes”) covers math, science, and social studies.
The curriculum builds school readiness by aligning with 90% of Head Start ELOF goals:
  • Math & Science: Measuring wind speed (Module 5), comparing shoe designs (Module 3).
  • Language & Literacy: Vocabulary like “prototype” and “turbine” in hands-on contexts.
  • Social Skills: Collaborative problem-solving in “Let’s Play ‘Frozen’ and Hockey!” (Module 8).
Three unique advantages:
  1. CLASS®-Backed Interactions: Activities are designed to boost teacher-child engagement (e.g., Postgame Reflections).
  2. Sports as a Hook: Kids want to learn STEM to improve their soccer kicks or basketball shots.
  3. Real-World Relevance: Lessons connect to careers (e.g., “Future Meteorologists” in Module 7).
The curriculum is a long-term investment with:
  • Multi-Year Use: Durable materials (e.g., Easy-Grip Footballs) and free annual updates.
  • Grant Alignment: Strong ties to STEM equity/Title I funding opportunities.
  • Proven Outcomes: Pilot schools saw a 30% increase in science vocabulary retention and 25% improvement in teamwork skills.
