STEAM Literacy Activities: Meet Silas of the STEAM Team

(Updated 9/8/2022)

Good Afternoon, Leaders,

The weekend is nearly upon us.  A three-day weekend.  A weekend that many of you will use to get ready for the next week.  I hope that you do take some time for yourself this weekend, though.  Savor the flavor of your favorite dish.  You deserve it!

Before our weekend begins, we have an appetizer to tempt your palate.  Meet The STEAM Team!  A cast of characters that embodies STEAM roles.  As the series unfolds, you'll first meet each character individually, then see them team together to solve larger problems.

Shelves of books with text overlay that reads: "Meet Silas, the STEAM Team Scientist."



Today, you meet Silas, the scientist.  Read to see what he does as he is plunged into a world where all the rules have changed.  Enter his world.  How could you help?  What role would you play?
We hope this story opens a discussion about STEAM roles and the importance they play in our society.

To introduce your cadets to Silas, we've prepared for you before, during, and after reading activities in a variety of flavors to suit the needs of you and your learners.  Take a look at this menu:

Reading comprehension activities to complement our Silas, the STEAM Team scientist, story.
If this looks appetizing to you, download the full meal.  It's on the house!

However you decide to savor the story, go forth full STEAM ahead, and we'll meet you in the galley.

At Your Service,
Offering samplings of life by a husband and wife
