Clean Up! STEM the Germs; Get Funded; and Win Cash, Books, and More!

Here’s your chance to clean up—in more ways than one! I have free STEM resources and chances to win cash and more. I have books to win and a chance for you to get learning materials you’ve selected funded. How? Read on!

****************

First, submit a comment to the blog by 11:59 pm EDT Sunday, October 25, 2015, to tell me what are your favorites when you click on the contest and freebies below. From the comments, I’ll randomly select a teacher to win two books that are sure to fascinate! Spidermania: Friends on the Web debunks myths about spiders and uses electron micrograph photographs to take an extremely close look at them. Then help kids understand why living things are different and how we organize plants and animals into groups in the Essential Life Sciences book Variation and Classification.  (Update: congratulations to Fran, who is the winner of our prize.)

Take a look around. Where’s the germiest place in your classroom? Now get ready to “STEM” the germs and teach the science behind handwashing with free resources that highlight the difference proper handwashing makes. Then enter to win $750 in classroom cash, an iPad mini, or a PURELL prize pack! Find it at TheMailbox.com/stemthegerms.

  1. Hello!
    Your selection of book titles of books are marvelous.
    Variation and classification would fit right in with out Science Standards. A class set of Lightening Thief’s books would interest all of my learners. Disney Publishing Worldwide is so generous.

  2. I love the Disney books and know these would be a great addition to my library. Of course, I love giveaways and would be tickled with any prize choice!

  3. I would love to win the handwashing/germ offer! I teach a special education life skills classroom and we are getting ready to start a health unit, and go into the importance of brushing teeth, hygiene, and various other areas of interest.

  4. I would love to win a set of books of Eleanor quiet no more and the Purrell prize, especially the prize pack and Ipad Mini!!
