7th/8th/9th/10th STEM
Teacher: Mr. Leighton
Description: This STEM course will integrate the skills used in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to solve real world problems. Students will develop teamwork, collaboration, logical reasoning and communication skills in a project-based learning environment. In this environment we want to encourage the kids to think outside the box, take chances in solving problems and to know that growth comes from trying. Similarly, we want them to know there is sometimes more than one answer to a problem, and each answer may be different from one another.
Program Goals: These lesson structures will be more open ended. I will be assigning 4 main projects over the year listed below. Class time will be mainly used as collaboration and planning time with some build time but students will need time to work on the projects at home as well. As the solutions for these are not set, build materials will be for students to supply themselves. Examples of this will be: Launchers would need wood, pipe, bands/tubes. Cars would need wheels, and frames, and then there will be objects needed for the escape room like, locks, boxes, frames, pictures (can be found at thrift stores).
Apple Launchers: Apples and targets will be supplied along with scoring rubric, Sphere Robot maze challenge, Robot for each team, Class obstacle course, Rocket Car, Rocket engines will be supplied, along with means to attach them to the car, Create an escape room
Curriculum: STEM curriculum for Teach Engineering
Homework: There will be take home work to be complete each week to prepare for the next week's project This may include researching a given topic, or doing some practice problems.
