The National Science Teachers Association affirms that learning
science and engineering practices in the early years can foster
children’s curiosity and enjoyment in exploring the world around them. It can also lay the foundation for a progression of science learning in K–12
settings and throughout their entire lives.
With that in mind, here are some excellent and fun resources to introduce STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to early learners in PreK and kindergarten.
