STEAM Cycle 17

Kindergarten-Design a Paintbrush

The students were introduced to and utilized the design process as they solved a problem presented by fictional characters Angelina, Suzi, and Mylo.  The students designed a paintbrush using straws, feathers, and pom poms.  After building the new paintbrush, students had the opportunity to paint with it and test their designs.

1st Grade-Design a House 2

The students designed and built one of the three houses described in The Three Little Pigs.  Using materials to represent straw, sticks, or bricks, the students constructed a 3-dimensional model.  In this lesson, students made improvements to their structures before testing them in front of a fan to see if the wolf could blow it down.

2nd Grade-Dear Santa

The students created a video letter using Photo Booth to tell Santa (or someone who may purchase a gift for them) what they want, need, would wear, would read, a wish for someone else.  Completed videos were uploaded to Google Classroom.

3rd Grade-Speedometry 5

Hot Wheels cars took their final trials as the students used loops, extra track, and a vice grip to reach maximum potential and kinetic energy.

4th Grade-Debug

The students continued to code and practice debugging programs.  While looking through existing code, students learned how to identify and correct errors.

5th Grade-Capture a Creeper

As our final Minecraft engineering challenge, the students created traps to capture a paper creeper.  After completing their designs, they demonstrated the mechanisms by recording a video.
