A Complete Learning Experience

STEM is all about cross-curricular exploration, and in Discover STEM LAB 3-4, students explore the ways STEM concepts can create one-of-a-kind learning experiences through scaffolded, reusable activities. Whether it’s the engineering design process or extended math concepts, each D-STEM module was selected for its easily-integrated, multi-subject capacity and contains everything you need to introduce engaging topics in any learning environment.

Like a mini-makerspace, use each module individually, or blend them for unique learning experiences. Try constructing creatures with BrickLAB Zoology, then sprinkle in the moviemaking magic of Digital Video to create exciting student films. Creativity reigns supreme in this program.

Science: BrickLAB Zoology

In BrickLAB Zoology, 12 student-driven lessons combine manipulative-based learning for a life-science deep dive. Utilizing PCS Edventures building bricks, BrickLAB Zoology is full of hands-on lessons in animal adaptations and everything you need to send learners down the science rabbit hole. Challenging learners to examine innovations in the animal kingdom, BrickLAB Zoology creates a collaborative connection between the human and animal world, allowing learners to uncover precisely how our very different species are intertwined.

Technology: Discover Digital Video

Start a film-intensive with application-based, collaborative curriculum and survey digital documentaries, historical recreations and original films as intrinsic motivation guides creative thinking. With a simple startup, step-by-step scaffolded activities and built-in reflections, Discover Digital Video easily introduces challenging and reusable video production skills into any learning environment.

Engineering: Discover Bots & Blocks

Unleash student creativity with Discover Bots & Blocks! Six engineering design activities and six coding activities engage learners in iterative thinking and develop their problem-solving skills. The easy-to-read lesson guides encourage design thinking and hands-on learning as students build structures from KEVA planks and program Sphero's robotic car, indi.

Math: Discover Digits & Design

The Discover Digits & Design curriculum includes 12 student activities, divided into four groups based on fun and engaging math manipulatives. With student curriculum pages designed for independent exploration in a learner-driven environment, each problem-solving activity emphasizes specific math principles and grade-level appropriate math standards and is scaffolded so learners move upward through Bloom’s Taxonomy as they gain experience and understanding of the math concepts and extensions involved.
