Educator Guides
Below is a collection of guides and curriculum for use in the classroom and during your visit to the Science Center.
SCIACT EARLY LEARNING KIT
The STEAM Kit and Guide for Early Childhood Learning is an early childhood guide that builds on the sense of wonder about science and space. It encourages children, caregivers, and educators to explore ideas from measurement to shadows with hands-on activities. The Kit and Guide help to create a foundation for STEAM learning through exploration and discovery.
The STEAM Kit and Guide for Early Childhood Learning was developed as part of a broadening participation project seeking to share the assets of NASA-funded activities with a wide range of communities. The guide was developed by the Project Director (Kalman Mannis) of Rural Activation and Innovation Network (NSF drl#1612555) and Program Developer (Jeannie Colton) from Arizona State University's Center for Innovation in Informal STEM Learning (CIISL) under the auspices of Arizona Science Center with funding through a sub-award from NASA Science Activation 2.0 Broadening Participation with Ecosystems (NASA #80NSSC210007).
