  2. Ms. Frazier • I am very excited to teach STEM because it gives students a way to learn about science through investigation and inquiry rather than from a textbook

  3. STEM • Stem is designed to reinforce material learned in science • Students work in groups of 3-5 to collaborate and solve a problem in the real world • Students are given a problem that relates to a topic from their science class • They take the problem and design and construct a working model of their solution • Students then present the idea to the class as well as demonstrate how their model is the best solution to the problem

  4. Examples of projects • 8th grade is designed and built a model of the newest roller coaster for Six Flags • They used equations learned in class to calculate the speed, acceleration, potential energy, and kinetic energy of their roller coaster as well as implemented Newton’s 3 laws

  5. Examples of projects • 7th grade designed and built a model of a dam along a river and described the benefits and concerns of the dam on its surrounding ecosystems • They presented their model to the Core of Engineers and American Wildlife Association (class) to demonstrate how their model is the safest for ecosystems after a dam is built

  6. Examples of Projects • 6th grade designed and constructed buildings that could survive an earthquake • Students chose the best type of soil to hold up a building after a fault is created • Students also chose the best type of material for the building to withstand an earthquake • The groups presented their model to the city government (class) and demonstrated why their building is the best fit for a new building in the city
