Integrating STEAM into Infant/Toddler Curriculum

The objective of this assignment is for the advanced preservice teacher to be able to design appropriate STEAM activities for infants and toddler. This assignment is divided into two parts: a) Design four STEAM lesson plans for infants/toddlers, b) create a mind map for one of the lesson/activity plans to share on Peergrade

Part One: Lesson Plans – 24 points

Write-up four lesson plans (use the infant/toddler lesson plan attached to this assignment) that are not explicitly found in your STEAM text using the following science disciplines:

●      Biology

●      Earth Science

●      Physics

●      Chemistry

There will be a total of 4 lesson plans/activities when Part One is completed. 

******Part Two: Mind Map – 16 points

Select one of the four lesson plans and create a visual representation in a mind map. GOOGLE MIND MAP CREATION AND MANY FREE WILL POP UP

The mind map visually displays the major concepts from the selected lesson plan.  For many of you (if not all), mind mapping is new – but you know about curricular webbing – mind mapping is webbing using technology. The emphasis is on designing a creative, visual map of major connections found in the lesson plan.

In your Mind Map include the following:

●      Name of activity and age span

●      Infant/Toddler Standards

●      Learning Goals (science and non science)

●      Connections to STEAM

●      Connections to Inquiry

●      Documentation/Assessment

After creating the final version of the mind map web, save the mindmap as a pdf or png.  

About Mind Maps

What are Mind Maps?  For those of you who are familiar with curriculum webbing, the concept will be familiar.  Think of mind maps as webbing for adults that uses visual content to explore concepts.

Here are two videos that will introduce you to the concept of mind mapping:

Coggle is a frequently used mind map software for beginners – students in previous

courses found Coggle to be user-friendly, but you can use any mindmap software. You can even use Jamboard to design a mind map.
