Mrs. Smith’s Classroom Edit display name

https://www.donorschoose.org/classroom/5265393 Customize URL

My school is a school of choice with a focus on STEAM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). STEAM is a part of the curriculum at my school. However, due to a lack of materials and resources in the classroom, the students only receive 45 minutes a week in a STEAM instructed classroom for related arts, which they absolutely love! Receiving the STEM bundles and other STEAM resources from this project will allow me to implement STEAM on a daily basis in my classroom. More specifically, The Simple Machines Set by Lego Education will allow my students to investigate and understand the operation of simple machines used in everyday life. The Young Architects Design Blocks - Master Set and Intro To Structures: Bridges will enable my students to plan and design their very own structures. Students will work in pairs and keep journals of their designs and creations as they use the materials. This encourages and challenges my students to become problem solvers, collaborators, and engineers with innovative ideas. Students will be forced to use critical thinking skills and solve real challenges as they explore the STEM activities. These resources will allow my students to use inquiry-based learning to develop; communication skills and critical thinking skills, while tapping into their creativity and allowing them to become part of a collaborative team - all the skills they will need to be successful in life!
