Lego Digital Designer - Computer Aided Design for lower elementary. Requires you to download it to your computer.
Sketchup Free - Computer Aided Design for upper elementary
-Lower Elementary: Build your own circuits using an interactive wire diagram. Then see the real-world components of your completed diagrams in action. Components include wires, switches, batteries, motors, light bulbs, buzzers, resistors, variable resistors, and ammeters. The bottom row of icons lets you switch between diagram view and component view.
Upper Elementary: Build your own circuits to see what conducts electricity and what does not. Be careful not to set your circuit on "fire." :)

STEM is an instructional approach where ALL students are exposed to real world problems that allow for the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Students are required to think critically about how to use their learning to solve a problem. Thinking outside of the proverbial box is encouraged. Collaboration is necessary. It is understood that failure is a part of learning. Success is the result of multiple failures where a person was not allowed to quit trying.
K - 1: Integration of science curriculum through inquiry based learning
Grades 2 - 3: Integration of science and math curriculum through technology production projects
Grades 4 - 5: Integration of multiple subjects through technology production projects
