MAEOLA BEITZEL GATE PROGRAM 2015-2016 Honor Society- S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Erika Scott & Jeff Incaudo First Lego League-Robotics Ellen Morris & Tammy Guzman
WHY S.T.E.M. ? To foster a love of science, technology, engineering, and math at an early age and develop students' critical thinking skills. Research shows that by the time students reach 4th grade, 1/3 of students have lost interest in science
EXAMPLE ACTIVITIES S.T.E.M The Great Toy Design Challenge Build understanding of properties of matter and mixtures In this module, Sir Isaac's Toy Company wants to create a smushy, gooshy toy and needs help in design testing. Student identify materials based on their properties, evaluate competitors' products, and design, test, and optimize a superior product. KEY NGSS STANDARD 5-PS1-3: Make observations and measurements to identify materials based on their properties.
FIELD TRIPS High School, College & Universities Science & Industry Places to observe and interact with S.T.E.M
