Materials-Based Units for Students K-6 is a practical resource designed to engage K-6 students with STEAM content through their five senses: seeing, listening, touch/movement, smell, and taste. It combines historical research, practical suggestions, and current practices on the stages of cognitive development and the brain’s physical response to emotion and novelty.
