One page with a 14 by 14 letter grid and a word bank of 14 words: science, technology, engineering, math, experiment, observe, predict, design, test, robot, magnet, circuit, data and invent. Words go across, down or diagonally. The answer key shows every word.
Can I use the STEM Words Word Search at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 4th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

1 printable resource, free to preview. There are 30 National STEM Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our National STEM Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are National STEM Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for 2nd Grade to 4th Grade students, roughly ages 7-10. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these National STEM Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade to 4th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
