I'm wrapping up Summer School. Only 3 days left. This has been a great experience! Summer School was totally Stem based. We had a great time designing and building things. I enjoyed it so much, more importantly my students enjoyed it and were totally engaged! I can't wait to try some Design Briefs in my class this year!
I was searching the web and came across this website elementaryengineers. It has lists of design briefs and what VA SOL's they correlate with. They are separated by grade level, grades K to 4.
If you're interested in some Design Briefs check it out at:

I also found this resource. This is a newsletter that highlights activities for PreK thru 5th grade:

PBSKids also has some resources. They can be found at: http://www.pbs.org/teachers/stem/engineering/
Here's an article from NEA listing Stem Resources:

I'm sure there are many more resources out there, These are just a few to get you started!
