Educational Kits for Cross-Curriculum Learning

Page 1

Educational Kits are teaching resources that are developed by museums to facilitate cross-curricular learning. Some of these kits are more STEM-focused, such as a Solar Tilt Kit that helps kids learn about solar photovoltaic cells. Others include kits that help kids learn about coding or rain forest habitats.


The Solar Tilt Kit is an educational kits that helps children learn about solar photovoltaic panels, which are devices that collect sunlight and convert it into usable electricity. The kit includes apparatus for solar design engineering and installation, and it allows children to experiment with solar panels and understand the effects of the angle of the sun and the solar panel on the amount of electricity generated. This educational kit shows how to attach a quadrant to a solar module or cell. It also shows how to determine the angle at which a solar panel should be tilted to maximize its electricity production. The kit includes a one-pager explaining how to attach the Quadrant to a solar cell or module, and how to determine the correct tilt angle.

The Fish Hotel kit is a wonderful way to introduce children to coding. It is a great way to get them familiar with the basics rather than rushing into something too advanced. Children should gradually increase their coding knowledge and try out more advanced languages as they get more comfortable with it.


This kit contains four separate projects, each of which is designed to help k ids learn the basics of coding. Not only are they fun to do, but they also foster critical thinking skills and inspire creativity. Children can learn how to program a robot worm, a color palette, a smart gate, and a banana piano.

The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board's Tree ID Cardboard toys is a great way to teach students about trees and forestry. The kits contain everything you need to help students identify trees. It also comes with an accompanying resource page that includes information about tree species and their characteristics. The kits are designed for students in grades 4 through 7. The Best educational toys for children includes information about different Wisconsin trees. The characteristics of the trees include height, diameter, and environmental benefits. The tree database was created by the Wisconsin Urban Forestry Coordinator. The state tree is the sugar maple, which is also the state tree. The sugar maple is one of the most widely-known trees in the eastern United States. It is also known as the Wisconsin shield tree.
