Map out a journey that will steer your students toward authentic problem solving as you ground them in integrated STEM disciplines.
Co-published with NSTA Press, this K–12 curriculum series is anchored in the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning. It was developed to meet the growing need to infuse real-world learning into classrooms. Each book is an in-depth module that uses project- and problem-based learning. Your students are presented with a challenge. Then, they apply what they learn using science, social studies, English language arts, and mathematics. Engaging and flexible, each volume can be used as a whole unit or in part to meet the needs of districts, schools, and teachers who are charting a course toward an integrated STEM approach.
New modules co-published by Routledge and NSTA Press are listed on this page, while previous modules are available to purchase from NSTA Press.
