  1. Poll Everywhere • http://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/4ayrtkbRSBLfaOh

  2. Sneaking STEM into the Classroom

  3. Shopping Cart Re-design • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M66ZU2PCIcM

  4. Challenge , Explore, Constraints, Limits… Brainstorm Innovate… Blueprint w labels, Collaborate, Design… The Goal Product, Instruction Manual, Budget Analysis, Marketing Evaluate, Reflect, Redesign, Modify, Share … Build, Model, Troubleshoot , Test …

  5. Choose a shopping bag and an index card On the index card: Make a list of what you like and do not like about your bag Be prepared to share

  6. Shopping Bag Re-design Kroger needs your help! Customers have been complaining about their shopping bags and want a new design. Can you use the materials provided to keep cost down, but still give customers what they want?

  7. Always test to FAIL!!!

  8. What is STEM really about?

  9. Process Skills Come Alive 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6.Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

  10. STEM, It’s elementary! • STEM-related careers are among the fastest growing and best paid of the 21st century, and have the greatest potential for job growth. http://teach.com/stem-education • There is a marked gap in gender in both STEM education and jobs. According to U. S. Dept. of Commerce, men outnumber women in STEM jobs nearly five to one. http://www.teacherportal.com/blog/importance-of-stem-education.html. 2013. • By fourth grade, a third of students have lost an interest in science. By eighth grade, almost 50 percent have lost interest or deemed it irrelevant to their education or future plans. • The need is clear. If we want to create a robust and open pipeline for STEM, we need to begin at the elementary level. • Murphy, T. (2011). STEM Education--It's Elementary. Retrieved online http://www.usnews.com

  11. “Infusing and making engineering implicit in the K-6 education programs creates opportunities to develop concepts, skills, and habits of the mind that are valuable in all disciplines while providing opportunities to discover and develop talent in STEM disciplines.” What does research say?Mann, E. L., Mann, R. L., Strutz, M. L., Duncan, D., and Yoon, S. Y. (2011). Integrating engineering into K-6 curriculum: Developing talent in the STEM disciplines. Journal of Advanced Academics. DOI: 10.1177/1932202X11415007 • Builds skills in communications, literacy, teamwork, and leadership talents. • Stimulates creativity, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking including application, synthesis, and analysis. • Integrates four disciplines thus producing a “meta discipline.”what is larger than its academic parts. • Embedded in the 21st Century Skills Framework, which values the ability to think and work creatively with others, to implement innovations, and to think critically, solve problems, communicate, and collaborate.

  12. Design Challenge Time! Can you build a table using only the materials provided that is at least 8 inches tall and can hold a book?

  13. Antibacterial Soap

  14. Classroom STEM Jobs Science Jobs • Microbiologist-hand sanitizer distributer • Recycling Coordinator-empties recycle bin • Botanist-takes care of plants • Zoologist-takes care of animals • Arborist-pencil sharpener Technology Jobs • Computer Technician-passes out computers and makes sure they are all back to where they need to be • Photographer-takes pics for the week • Freelance blogger-develops blog prompt for week • Library Media Specialist- librarian

  15. Classroom STEM Jobs • Engineer Jobs • Sanitation Engineer-table washers • Electrical Engineer-in charge of lights • Civil Engineer-line leader • Production Supervisor-assists teacher in making sure all materials are turned in • Math Jobs • Accountant-handles cub cash for teacher • Director of Inventory Control-paper passer • Cryptographer-delivers top secret information for the teacher • Statistician-in charge of Friday auction’s

  16. Ideas to sneak STEM in • Real world problems/design challenges • Re-design of everyday items • Label classroom • Group STEM jobs • stations • Job board • STEM career focus • Blueprints, Instruction manuals, budgets • Rube Goldberg

  17. STEM Websites and Resources • forensics.rice.edu • CSI: Web Adventures where students can solve problems that involve all aspects of STEM • coolsciencecareers.rice.edu • Where students can explore their own science interests to help lead them to science careers and ask real scientists questions • discoverengineering.org • Where students can design different things, explore what engineering is, and watch videos • engineergirl.org • Focuses on girls in engineering • engineeringinteact.org • Interactive science and engineering games for students • pbskids.org/designsquad/ • Many ideas in involve STEM activities into the classroom, watch videos, for both teachers and students

  18. Sneak it in. Evaluate everyday items. Design and redesign. Take the content one step further. Make connections and layer disciplines. Help students understand how their learning looks in their world. Encourage problem solving, curiosity, and wild ideas.
