I ran into some content for integrating STEM into the general curriculum called Engineering is Elementary. The curriculum and workbooks were developed by the Museum of Science, Boston. They describe their program as follows:
The Engineering is Elementary® (EiE) project fosters engineering and technological literacy among children. EiE is creating a research-based, standards-driven, and classroom-tested curriculum that integrates engineering and technology concepts and skills with elementary science topics. EiE lessons not only promote K-12 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning, but also connect with literacy and social studies.
There is also a 3 page overview here.
I like that they have developed this as a cross curricular resource and that it is aimed at lower grades. I also like that the have developed some hands on pieces for the students to build.
I hope to be receiving some of their content soon to take a closer look.
