  1. Teaching STEM In Middle School and High School By SES

  2. About SES • Stokes Educational Services specializes in curriculum development and teacher training. • SES provides custom-developed courses and units for schools at a price competitive with and often lower than prepackaged curriculum products offered by larger companies. • SES provides curriculum, instructions, equipment, professional development, and materials based on the specific needs of the school and district.

  3. What is STEM? • Science • Technology • Engineering • Mathematics • All integrated together naturally.

  4. Summary of Standards for Course • 6th – STEM Explorers • Overview • Best Practices • STEM Fields • 7th – STEM Innovators • Overview • Inventions and Innovations • Innovation Process • 8th - STEM Designers • Safety • Introduction to Engineering • Engineering Design Process • Sketching and Engineering Drawing • Project

  5. Overview and Safety • History and Milestones Essay • Benefits of Technology Presentation • Safety Presentation

  6. Best Practices, Innovations, Design and Engineering Processes • 6th • Best Practices for Science and Engineering focused on Asking Questions and Developing Models • 7th • The Innovation Process • Analyze advantages and disadvantages of an existing technology. • Explain costs and benefits. • Propose solutions and alternatives • Select appropriate technology to solve the societal problem. • Analyze and Compare advantages and disadvantages of a proposed solution. • Investigate environmental and economic impacts of a proposed solution. • Evaluate trade-offs and impacts of a proposed solution. • 8th • Engineering Design Process

  7. STEM process • Students introduced to content and background information • Students conduct tests, practice procedures, gather and evaluate data • Students presented challenge • Students design solution • Students test solution • Students redesign and retest

  8. Best Practices of Science and Engineering • Asking questions (relate to science inquiry) and defining problems (relate to engineering design process). • Developing and using models. • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data • Using mathematics and computational thinking • Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) • Engaging in argument from evidence • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

  9. Strategies and Requirements • Students must know basic background knowledge • Do science, technology, engineering and mathematics, don’t talk about it • Report Results and Findings

  10. 6th STEM Explorers • Explore and solve problems and challenges related to the various career clusters • Advanced Manufacturing • Engineering • Health Sciences • Information technology • Architecture and Construction • Agriculture • Food and Natural Resources • Transportation, Logistics and Distribution

  11. 7th STEM Innovators • Innovation Process • Design • 3D Printing • Design, produce, test, and analyze an improved product • Maker Faire • Community and Societal problems

  12. 8th STEM Designer • Design Process • Sketching and Engineering Design • 2D Drafting and Sketching • 3D Design • Scale Model • Projects • Design Process • Science and Engineering Best Practices • Engineering Notebook • Report • Oral presentation

  13. Presentations • Do presentations in context • Report Data • Use Digital Technology

  14. Robotics Prefect for STEM • Engineering • Programming • Mathematics • Science • Open Ended Challenges are Natural • Competitions • TSA • First • Vex • Skills

  15. Sample Challenge • Programming a robot • Robot needs: • To move • Detect • Communicate • Either Traditional or Humanoid • First Explore Basics • Define Task • Complete Task • Report Results

  16. Sample Activity • Divide into teams of two or three • Design rockets that differ with single variable • Test rockets at various angles • Test rockets at various forces • Compare results • Challenge: Build and launch rocket that travels maximum distance • Create Presentation of Results
