Students planned and worked hard to create their facades (You can see their finished creations in the photos for this project.). After their creations were completed, I asked our PE Aide and STEAM Teacher to come in and \"judge\" their structures while students were at lunch. Their chosen winners got bragging rights and our school-wide PBIS prize tickets as their rewards.

Students were also given 3 raffle tickets on each day of testing. Students worked hard and stayed on task so that they could keep their 3 tickets and redeem them for ClassDojo points each day. The stamp, along with others I already had, was used to make sticky note \"stickers\" that were given to students who were demonstrating their best effort and showing their work while they were testing.

These hands-on tools have transformed abstract concepts into engaging, real-world experiences, allowing students to actively explore how electricity and circuits work. Instead of simply learning about energy and engineering through discussion, students are now building, testing, and problem-solving in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nThrough the use of Snap Circuits, we have been able to directly support Next Generation Science Standards, including 3-5-ETS1-2 by encouraging students to design and improve their own circuit-based solutions, 4-PS3-2 as they investigate energy transfer, and 5-PS1-3 as they explore how materials function within electrical systems. Students are developing critical thinking skills as they troubleshoot designs, collaborate with peers, and persist through challenges.\r\n\r\nBeyond the standards, these kits have sparked excitement and curiosity across all grade levels. Students are more confident in their ability to think like engineers and are beginning to see connections between classroom learning and real-world applications. This project has not only strengthened our STEAM program, but also inspired our students to envision themselves as future innovators, designers, and problem-solvers.","fullyFundedDate":1775101125849,"projectUrl":"project/snap-circuit-lab-activity-for-steam/10160422/","projectTitle":"Snap Circuit Lab Activity for STEAM","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Odle.
