Students will explain what a constellation is and have the audience create their own constellation using a flashlight, toothpicks, and another material (foam paper, construction paper, coffee filters, etc.).
I will investigate conversation hearts using science tools and my 5 senses. Students will lead the audience in their investigation of conversation hearts at 5 different stations.
Student's will showcase our class pet, Mushu, a 3 year old bearded dragon. They will answer questions about him to visitors, and give examples of how we use him for cross curricular learning.
Each student will present their expert knowledge on each layer of soil. After each layer of soil is presented, the audience will get time to interact with that layer of soil. The audience will be record new learning on handout as they expereince each layer of soil. As they interact with each layer of soil, the soil experts will be able to answer any questions from the audience.
I can design and build a structure that is windproof. Students will identify the problem within the story of the Three Little Pigs. Using gumdrops and toothpicks, students will use the design process to build a structure that solves the problem.
Parker and Brennan took what they learned about parallel and series circuits and created a great example using Google Draw. This was part of a Choice Menu where they were able to select their own task. The goal was to create something that would help teach your classmates.
Students designed, planned, and implemented a simple experimental investigation testing one variable. The experiment designed by these students was using two water bottles and rubber bands to create sling shots. They tested how far objects of different masses flew from the release point. Come try this experiment for yourself with our scientists as your guide.
Students will demonstrate a hands-on activity that will show their learning on balancing, spinning and rolling. Then, give the audience an opportunity to try it out. Students will explain how they worked together to create a Rube Goldberg Machine after learning these topics.
Students participated in a variety of activities to explore various forms of force and motion such as balancing, rolling and spinning. Presenters will teach the audience about the activities they encountered, and allow the audience time to explore the activities.
Our project is a robotic arm attached to a chessboard that allows a human to play against a chess bot controlling the arm in a physical match. This is most certainly a passion project, and it was through the lessons learned in V.R. Eaton High School’s computer science classes and Reach Robotics Club, which all 3 of us are students in, that we were able to create the bot. Our computer science classes taught us not only how to code the bot but the problem-solving skills necessary for solving a variety of issues we ran into during construction, our robotics club taught us various lessons in the design process and the construction of complex machines like our arm.
Wheels are not the only things that roll. Cups also roll. You will each get one large and one small cup to see how they roll. Review how to set up ramps. Pretend that your cup is a car. You want to park your car in the parking garage under your ramp. Try to make your cup roll off the ramp and end up parked under the ramp.
1st grade students have been learning about air and wind in Science. Today, we will incorporate our Writing Units of Study by writing and demonstrating the steps on How to make a Windsock. The purpose of this hands-on activity is to integrate our writing curriculum into our science curriculum in a fun and engaging activity.
Students will demonstrate their learning from the STEM project called "paper circuits". After the demonstration students will guide their audience through a hands on paper circuit exploration.
Technology demonstrator for a student project for a automated self-leveling flying "robot", applying all of my Fusion, Programming and Manufacturing skills learned in Stem. In this demonstration I'm showing off a wireless protocol, automated RC engine and thrust vectoring on a small test stand. The Presentation consists of a Slideshow and a demonstration of a startup and idle sequence.
This project is an in-depth presentation of the three types of neurons. A Google Slide presentation will be used to teach the audience about the structure and function of the neurons, and how they work together to complete the task of kicking a ball. Finally, the audience will have the option to build their own neuron using confectioneries such as red vines, jellybeans, marshmallows, toothpicks, and more.
Students have been learning about the importance of recycling! Get ready to see what you know about the materials you put in your recycle bin. Our students have learned how to make informed choices with the conservation of natural resources. They've also learned about reusing and recycling materials such as paper, aluminum, glass, cans, and plastic. Groups of students created brochures to encourage others to recycle by showing the importance or how to recycle.
Students have been practicing applying their academic vocabulary within different topics. Today, students will walk you through an interactive demonstration of creating examples through words and pictures for vocabulary used in science. They will present on heat, light, and sound energy.
Students learn about electronic communication, Morse Code, and advances in technology with electronic communication. Students build simple to complex circuits, send messages to one another via Morse Code, and explore the impact of electronic communication on society.
