As STEAM teachers, we enjoy exploring along with our students! All of our lessons are formated to model real life problem solving. Some lessons are introduced with a read aloud story while others are introduced using an exciting hook, such as a Voki character. Students learn how to work together and learn from each other to solve real life problems. Over the course of the first half of the school year, each grade completed a unit based on a science theme.

Week # 7: Engineering Design Challenge: Reach for the Sky! Build a Tower

This week's challenge focuses on the key design concepts used in skyscrapers. Explore some of the world's tallest skyscrapers and towers. Then, put your building skills to the test and see if you can build a tower using materials that you have available at home! Click HERE to view the full description for this week's challenge

Grade 1: Sun and Shadows

The First Grade classes explored shadows and sunlight. We experimented with LEGO mini figures, studying how their shadows changed as the sun (flashlight) moved across the sky. To learn how we could use the sun to help our way if we get lost, we experimented with a compass and a stick to find east and west by tracking how the sun's shadow changes over time. We, then, created watercolor landscape paintings of sunrise and sunset with accurate shadow representations of trees. Lastly, we experimented with different materials, such as aluminum foil and mirrors, to see how we could bend sunlight to warm up a town that is usually in the shade.
