What's essential for creating critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and change-makers? Hands-on materials for students to manipulate, create and connect their unique experiences to their education! Students will use hands-on materials from this project to design and create in a variety of ways across multiple subjects; including a focus on the essential connections between STEAM and literacy. I'm choosing to include a variety of 'basics' that can be used to teach environmental engineering, energy use, and experimental design in 5th Grade and inquiry and habitats in Kindergarten. In my science classroom, I teach students the ethic of 'When in Doubt, Draw it Out!' and the importance of expressing yourself however possible. Hands-on materials will help students to brainstorm and create, outside the boundaries of traditional worksheets and exercises.
