STEM in Action promotes independent and joint problem-solving, collaborative thinking and co-operative team-work. The progressive projectbased range will provide positive experiences and increase interest in STEM from an early age. Solving real-world problems, the Key Stage 2 kits will prepare students for secondary education as they apply maths and science concepts in the context of an engineering challenge. Designed specifically to facilitate student learning, the Stem in Action philosophy encouranges the students to become active and collaborative soloution seekers. All sets have group activity related tasks which enable dialogue and encourage communication.

ING R EE

STEM in Action™ is an exciting new range of comprehensive handson kits bringing Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths to life in Key Stages 1 and 2. Developed to meet the new 2014 English National Curriculum attainment target, each teacher-friendly kit addresses a host of curriculum requirements in science, design & technology and maths as well as introducing geography and building vocabulary. The STEM in Action range provides the primary school teacher with everything they need to start teaching, right out of the box. Each kit includes step-by-step student activities, a lesson-by-lesson teacher’s guide, photocopiable assessment tools, homework activities as well as all the materials needed to undertake each activity, all stored in a sturdy Gratnells tray.
