Marble Mazes STEAM Craft Lesson Packs are great for teaching more than just physics and math!
Not only do students learn important concepts through STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math), but they can also improve their 4 basic English skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing). Learning English as a second language or foreign language through other subjects (also known as CLIL) is a popular way to teach EFL/ESL, which is one reason why our STEAM Craft Lesson Packs are so popular with English teachers and parents alike.
Each Marble Mazes STEAM Craft Lesson Pack includes a carefully crafted lesson plan that’s suitable for a wide range of ages and skill levels. The STEAM-based English lesson is built around 4 pages of worksheets which teach the vocabulary used when making Marble Mazes, explain the steps required to make it, introduce a sub-topic (separating 3-letter words and 4-letter words), and include a fun true-or-false quiz with 6 questions related to the STEAM topic of the kit (LEGO, plastic building blocks, English words and letters.)
The BBbots STEAM Zone makes learning fun with online games, activities, and lesson videos!
In addition to the worksheets, each STEAM Craft Lesson Pack has a QR code with instant access to the STEAM Zone where students and teachers can use interactive online flashcards, play BINGO using our online BINGO spinner, play other online interactive games that help students master reading, listening, and speaking, and even watch over 30 minutes of online lesson videos with the entertaining teachers, PJ (Professor Jerm) and GP the Pig!
