  4. Engineering byDesign™ A National Standards-based Solution For Teaching & Learning STEM

  5. K-12 Standards-Based Integrative-STEM Model – The CORE Endorsed by

  6. Do We Teach engineering or Engineering? engineering–little “e” – used as a verb to teach all students to think or learn to engineer or use engineering concepts Engineering–big “E” – used as a noun prepare students to be Engineers – career oriented

  7. K-2 Design Process 3-5 Design Process 6-12 Design Process

  8. TEEMS • Leverages technological design challenges • Environmental Context • Grand Challenges for Engineering

  10. Building Blocks

  11. Building Blocks

  12. Emphasizing “Big Ideas” Ideas we want students to “get inside of” and retain after they’ve forgotten many of the details. Based on Achieving Scientific Literacy: From Purpose to Practices by Roger W. Bybee

  13. 3rd Grade TEEMS Every Drop Matters

  23. 4th Grade – Lesson 17 • Lesson 17 Objective - guide students through the seven steps of the design process by designing an ice cooler. • Lesson 17 Standards • Describe the design process as a method of developing solutions to problems. • Apply a design process that includes defining a problem, generating ideas, selecting a solution, making an item, evaluating it, and presenting results to solve a technological problem. • Brainstorm and list ideas when solving a problem or designing an object. • Report on a topic with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details while speaking clearly and at an understandable pace. (correlates to ELA 4.28)

  24. 4th Grade - Activity • Overview of “Keep Your Cool” • Challenge • Criteria • Materials • Activity • Design Cooler • Presentations

  25. 5th Grade TEEMS Community Connections

  26. Design Challenge The year 2037 seems very far away, but it is never too early to plan ahead. Your challenge is to plan improvements to the infrastructure of a community, so that it is prepared to meet the needs of the people who live there in the year 2037. You may choose your own community or any town or city that you can research. You will need to know or learn about the community’s current infrastructure. Your solution must be based on what you have learned about community infrastructure. You also should brainstorm unique ideas that may seem crazy now, but may be the solutions of the future! After you have used the technological design process to develop a solution, your team will present it to the class.

  27. Building Block Overview • explore the history of communication technologies • apply concepts of motion • compare the modes of transportation • humans meet the need for emergency services • use mean, median, and mode to analyze real data about population and traffic congestion

  28. Exploration Lessons • Lesson 7 • students learn about modes of transportation found in different types of communities including rural, suburban, and urban areas. • students use the design process to construct balloon vehicles that represent cars, vans, buses, and trains, which will be used in a design and problem-solving activity in Lesson #8 • Lesson 8 • students conduct an investigationto learn about force and motion and apply knowledge of metric units of length • students covert metric units of length and calculate mean, median, and mode of their experimental data. • students consider natural land and water features as they determine the best way to get from point A to point B on a map.

  29. UTD C-SER TEEMS Training • Grades 3-5 Curriculum – 3 days • Check http://www.utdcser.org/for dates. • Implementation Coaching • Kits to support Building Blocks • More information and dates for upcoming training will be available at www.utdcser.org
