What is a STEM Thematic Unit?

A STEM thematic unit is a framework for teaching everything a young child needs to know, all centered around a central theme (in this case, frogs).

Thematic units and unit studies include elements of math, reading, social studies, science, language arts, and STEM. Most thematic units are used at the preschool and kindergarten level, although you can also study using some elements of unit studies in older grades.

While most classroom teachers stop using thematic units around third grade, many homeschooling families use the concept of thematic units to learn well into middle school.

If you need more spring theme ideas, check out our butterfly theme, flower theme, and farm theme.

Thematic units offer a fun way to explore a topic around a central theme. In this case, the theme is frogs! With a thematic unit and frog theme activities, kids will use frogs as the basis for all learning.

In science, kids learn about the frog life cycle. In technology, kids can learn about how scientists study frogs and use frogs to help learn about the world.

In math, kids use frog themes in math problems. There is almost no end to how much you can learn when your theme is frogs!
