Experienced chapter authors address the theoretical underpinnings of teaching STEM in the early years, while contextualizing these ideas for the real world using illustrative examples from the classroom. This cutting-edge collection also looks beyond the classroom to how STEM learning can be facilitated in museums, nature-based learning outdoors, and after-school programs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eSTEM in Early Childhood Education is an excellent resource for \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSection I: STEM in Early Childhood Environments \u003c\/strong\u003e1.
