Age group:Â This STEM unit was created with universal design in mind and can be adapted to a variety of grade levels, but is best suited to middle school and high school. These materials are great for mixed-age group classrooms (e.g., nature/STEM camps, homeschooling). Additionally, the instructor guide includes suggestions for making activities simpler or more challenging, depending on your students’ needs.
