Time Traveling Historians: Teaching STEM Across the Curriculum

Series: STEM Across the Curriculum: PD Reimagined Series

Take STEM out of the lab and into the heart of history. Time Traveling Historians helps educators transform traditional social studies lessons into data-rich, inquiry-based learning experiences that connect science, math, and engineering with the stories of human progress.

This hands-on workbook gives teachers ready-to-use lesson ideas-like analyzing revolution logistics, mapping the Columbian Exchange, modeling the impact of the Industrial Revolution, and visualizing voter data across time. Each activity follows the 5E model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend, Evaluate) and includes guidance for developing students' skills in data analysis, systems thinking, and evidence-based reasoning.

Designed for grades 6-12, the PD Reimagined Series equips teachers to confidently integrate STEM into any subject area through creative projects, real-world datasets, and student-driven inquiry. Whether you teach U.S. history, world history, or civics, this workbook turns every lesson into an opportunity for discovery and innovation.

Perfect for:

• Middle and high school social studies and STEM teachers

• Curriculum specialists and instructional coaches

• Professional development and cross-disciplinary learning communities
