WHAT TEACHERS SAY:
FLINNSTEM®
BUILD A PASSION FOR STEM
IN YOUR STUDENTS
FLINNSTEM™ is a standards-aligned STEM curricula for grades 4–8 that uses an engaging
hands-on approach to guide students to explore new science concepts, connect to real-world
experiences, and discover engineering design and scientific inquiry. Robust professional
development is embedded in the program, giving schools and districts everything they need to
teach STEM.
Inquiry-Based
Modules With
Hands-On Materials
FLINNSTEM™ includes 15 modules containing all
the materials needed to engage students in rich,
inquiry-based, hands-on activities. Each module
provides up to 32 hours of instruction and kits
that include materials and reproducible content
for students, detailed digital teacher content,
and professional learning videos for classroom
activities. Some single units from modules are
self- contained (four hours of instruction) and
can be used to try FLINNSTEM™.
“What more could you ask for? With FLINNSTEM™, the work is already done for you. The training
is top of the line. It involves standards that are low and high for students, and engages them
in ways that they will not only learn the material but remember it.”
