Guinness World Records offers an eight-page teacher’s guide including STEM-friendly activities and Common Core connections for quick and easy download to your computer. Fill out the short form with your name and email to access the guide. Based on actual world records, activities challenge students to engage in research then share their findings through maps, drawings, or writing projects.
In the Classroom
Download and print the teacher’s guide for use in your classroom. Use activities as math and science centers, or for group research projects. Have students create online posters sharing their research either individually or together as a class using a tool such as PicFont, <a href="/single.cfm?id=16831">reviewed here</a>, or PicLits, <a href="/single.cfm?id=9822">reviewed here</a>. Use an online tool such as Interactive Two Circle Venn Diagram, <a href="/single.cfm?id=9413">reviewed here</a>, when comparing and contrasting different world records.
At Home
Many activities in the teacher’s guide are perfect for at-home use. Choose activities to complete together over summer vacation, on a rainy day, or during a snow day off from school.
