The Sphero littleBits STEAM Kits will be useful to enhance student learning opportunities by incorporating engineering with science and math. My school district is beginning to introduce STEAM based activities into curriculum and I would love to provide my students with an exciting learning experiences to show them what it takes to become engineers while exploring math and science. littlebits creates an interactive learning experience by encouraging students to use collaboration to problem solve, use their creativity to design projects, and make observations and measurements to convey information clearly.
To accomplish this, I would purchase 2 littleBits STEAM kits to supplement our existing computer science tools that focus on problem solving and collaboration.
Standards alignment includes NVACS for Science (4.AP.A.1) - 3-5 ETS1-2: Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based solution on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constrains of the problem, 3-5 ETS1-3: Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of a model or prototype that can be improved. SEP: Developing and Using Models. NVACS for ELA Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking clearly at an understandable pace.
My students will combine littleBits with arts and craft material to tell stories that bring character traits to life. Students will identify essential character traits and understand how a character's essential qualities can be expressed, identified, and animated through the use of littleBits. They will experience stories and form symbolic meaning with hands-on learning activities. These resources will be used by our 3-6 grade students and provide another range of computer science experiences.
