  3. The Paper Tower • A tower is, “an exceptionally tall building or part of a building or an exceptionally tall structure used for some purpose.” • The Task: • Design & build the tallest free standing tower using only: • 1 Sheet of paper • Clear Tape • Scissors (to cut the paper) • You may NOT tape the tower to any surface. • Each tower will be required to free stand for • at least 5 seconds!!!

  4. Integration • What math and/or science terms did you use? • Why is this considered a STEM lesson? • Math & RELA extensions?

  5. Habits/skills

  6. Exemplary Lesson Animal Expo What makes this an exemplary STEM lesson? Could this be modified for your classroom? Would this unit help students develop the habits we’re seeking?

  7. Sharing Take 2 minutes: • Share the lesson you brought today with someone next to you • Discuss how it could be transformed into a STEM lesson

  8. STEM Lesson Work in groups of 2-3 to create a: • Stand-alone STEM activity • STEM extension to an existing lesson. • RELA/Math extensions to a STEM activity Keep in mind that we are looking for lessons that are inquiry-based, involve problem-solving and creative thinking.

  9. Resources Open the CAMPUS folder and then the STEM PLC folder. In it you will find: • A template you can use for writing • RELA & Math standards by grade • Exemplary unit: Animal Expo • Links to STEM activities and ideas

  10. Using Laptop • Login using HCPSS\username, password • Go to the CAMPUS folder (next to Hand In) • Open the STEM PLC folder • Drag out whatever docs you need

  11. EXIT Ticket • Save your document to the desktop (make sure all of your names are on it somewhere) • Click on the Hand In folder • Scroll down to open in finder and click (circle with the arrow) • Find my blue folder and double click to open • Drag saved document in (you can also e-mail it to yourself)
