Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics in Early Childhood
Assessment 1 Learning Plan
In pairs, you will work together to develop learning plans to introduce children to a topic in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. This assessment will help you to practice collaboration skills in creating lessons.
Learning Plans
You will create a total of 3 learning plans.
The word count for this assignment is 1800 words.
You must ensure that your learning plans integrate a MINIMUM of 2 different subject areas per learning plan. Although not compulsory, try and make sure you use all the different subjects at least once. You will naturally use one subject area a couple of times, or multiple times, in this assignment. For example, if you integrate mathematics and art in one learning plan, try and integrate science and engineering for learning plan two. Lesson plan three may then integrate technology, mathematics and engineering etc.
The integration of the different subject areas should be authentic. Do not force the integration of subjects if there is no natural fit.
