The STEM approach in education emerged to raise individuals capable of solving the complex problems of the 21st-century knowledge society. We want our children and students to be able to solve problems and develop 21st-century skills — but how?

Implementing STEM education starting from the preschool years can be the first step. As a STEM lead teacher and a science teacher with a master’s degree in Educational Technology, I have drawn on my own knowledge and experience to create this series of STEM lesson plans.

We are at the first stage of the series: I have prepared five printable lesson plans designed specifically for preschool children (ages 4–6), ready to be implemented at school, in kindergarten, at activity centers, or even at home.

In each these PDF lesson plans you will find a list of materials and setup instructions, embedded resource links (real and clickable), optional activity extensions, and notes for educators.

2) 🌈 Rainbow Science: Colors in Action!

Dive into the magic of color with this engaging, hands-on color mixing STEM activity designed especially for young learners! This printable lesson plan guides students through scientific exploration and playful experimentation. 

You can download the lesson plan here.

For teachers, homeschooling parents, and STEM educators, these easy-to-implement, printable lesson plans require minimal preparation. Don’t forget to stay tuned for the elementary, middle, and high school versions of this series!
