ExploreLearning Elementary STEM Solutions

Powerful STEM solutions for the elementary school classroom

Elementary teachers wear lots of hats. Especially in self-contained classrooms, where teaching multiple subjects means more planning (and grading) with no additional prep time. ExploreLearning STEM solutions help the youngest learners stay on-task, engaged, and excited about math and science while offering teachers powerful reporting, lesson-ready resources, and professional development.

Simplify your lesson planning

Every second of the school day is precious. Teaching multiple content areas is time-consuming, and analyzing data across all subjects is no easy task. With integrated platforms and reporting features, ExploreLearning solutions can help educators easily teach various STEM concepts. And with ExploreLearning Gizmos, there’s no need to create lesson plans. All 550+ of our Gizmos come with pre-made, customizable student worksheets and teacher guides.

Build conceptual understanding & creative problem solvers

Independent thinking and problem-solving are critical skills to further STEM understanding, both for students’ future studies and careers. With Gizmos, in-depth, inquiry-based simulations create moments of exploration, discovery, and real-world application while developing students’ critical thinking skills and content knowledge.

Support science while building language skills

Literacy is crucial, particularly in the elementary grades. Research shows literacy and science standards intersect in many ways.

ExploreLearning Science4Us integrates literacy to broaden students’ vocabulary and understanding of scientific terminology. From systematic syllable practice to opportunistic vocabulary lessons, Science4Us curriculum infuses science with literacy in meaningful ways.

Gizmos simulations also allow students to practice key writing skills like researching and summarizing after completing each virtual simulation.

“Science and literacy are interwoven and synergistic.” (Billman et al., 2021)

Powerful reporting for teachers & schools

Our intuitive reporting features allow teachers and administrators to monitor student progress through easily accessible data reports. Actionable insights quickly reveal concepts students are struggling with for effective in-the-moment feedback. Using these tools, there’s no need for time-intensive informal assessments. Use our products together for simplified reporting and easy student management.

Discover STEM Resources by Grade Level

Kindergarten Resources

In kindergarten, students develop the skills they need to succeed on their educational journey. Build foundational understanding with ExploreLearning Science4Us, a standards-aligned program that engages students in literacy, math, and science.

First Grade Resources

In first grade, students must expand their STEM and writing skills and learn about science topics like the environment. ExploreLearning Science4Us builds these critical skills through engaging activities and experiments.

Second Grade Resources

Second graders are prepared to take on more advanced concepts and deepen their math and writing skills to grow their educational foundation. Support key science skills with ExploreLearning Science4Us, and build math skills with ExploreLearning Reflex.

Third Grade Resources

In third grade, math facts and fractions become an essential focus for students. ExploreLearning Reflex and ExploreLearning Frax can help build these critical foundations for upper-level math. Students also dive into more advanced topics in STEM, such as probability, graphing, and hands-on experiments.

Fourth Grade Resources

In fourth grade, math and science concepts become more advanced as report writing and analytical skills are emphasized. Plus, the fractions skills learned in fourth grade are crucial to advance to more complex math like Algebra. Ensure students master their fractions with ExploreLearning Frax and build their STEM inquiry skills with ExploreLearning Gizmos.

Fifth Grade Resources

In fifth grade, students need to become skilled at working with fractions, decimals, and geometry while also examining probability and working with data. ExploreLearning Frax can help with fraction remediation, while ExploreLearning Gizmos can reinforce scientific concepts and thinking skills.
