STEAM Proposal

1. Exploratory Stage:

Into to Web-desing/Reflections all 3 classes

library/tech lab -

Nicole and Sarah both able to attend

Mixed gender groupings, 4 per group

by end of two periods, web page up and running with first reflection - "What are you looking forward to in this process? What are you hoping to learn or explore?"

cubelets

rotating tool

3D Pens

2 per class?

will need to order more filament

in order to create using 3Doodler they need to create a visual plan (like in the books) outlining steps they will take and the shapes they will be using, plus photo of finished product.

during exploratory stage students can create, but WE will decide which designs they can use and only provide the necessary filaments

EV3 mind storm

only 1 kit to be used - Jill + one kit from Sarah Patten to be used

We do

2 kits (1 for Katie/1 for Kristin)

5. Discussion:

presentation: choosing their own method present/share their learning/prototype with the class

Things we need:

4 AA batteries for we do kit

12 AA batteries for lego prmary

2. Introduce Question

What are some problems that the world will face in the next 50 years and what can you create to help prevent or solve these problems?

4. Create their "invention"

Plan process needs to happen prior to creating of invention

6. Reflect:

website for students to track their progress and reflect on the process/inquiry
