Students were provided a STEM challenge to create a bridge for the Billy Goats Gruff to safely cross to the other side. Students used specific materials to problem solve and practice the engineering process.
Students have been charting their own progress and growth in math and reading. They are excited to share their growth and points of PRIDE! They are learning to be goal setters and continual learners. Come celebrate with us!
We as a team designed and built a rocket. The rocket is constrained by rules issued by TARC (The American Rocketry Challenge). This is a task-focused engineering task.
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.
Senior members of the Northwest Rocket Club discuss their experiences regarding high-powered model rocketry. The members will talk about certain build processes, aerospace engineering concepts, and their future engineering aspirations.
Students targeted estimation, multiplication, and addition when working through this three act task. The context is that students need to identify how much Halloween candy is in a Halloween bucket. The tools that students use are a pencil and problem solving journal.
Through this AP Statistics project, I was able to investigate different forms of bias and how it can affect the results of a survey. I, along with a partner, went to a nearby library and randomly asked some people if they preferred Superhero Comics or Fantasy novels; we then asked a different randomly selected group of people the same question while holding up a comic novel and wearing a cape and mask in hopes of creating a bias. We collected our data to find unexpected results.
A project that expounds on how bias can affect the results of statistics. From media to wording, this bias project pushed us to explore different ways of creating bias.
Members of the ACES TARC rocketry team will discuss their experiences and knowledge regarding the nation-wide Team American Rocketry Challenge (TARC). The ACES will talk about each iteration of their competition rockets, how the TARC competition works, and their goals for the competition season.
Students were presented with the challenge of designing and creating their own food truck. They created their own unique logo, slogan, menu, pricing, and design of the truck itself. After visiting with a food truck owner/operator, students were inspired to build a model out of various materials to create their unique food truck. Students used their knowledge and understanding of finance, advertisement, and marketing to become young entrepreneurs!
Learning Target: I can use fractions and follow a recipe to bake cookies. Students will bake cookies at home and bring samples for the Expo guests. Students will be baking five different cookies and will explain how to triple the quantity of ingredients using fractions.
Students and/or teachers will learn how students used a wildly important goal to research a topic, create a lesson, and teach classmates. Students will explain their project, highlight what they taught in their lessons, and explain how this project helped increase their own understanding of the concept.
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.
Students will be able to implement different architectural features to create a new village for Santa. Students are building the villages out of 3-d shapes made out of paper.
Our learning target was to observe, collect and record, compare, and analyze day to day weather changes including air temperature. To do this, students collect the weather data for two cities for six school days. They then used that data and a google sheet to create a graph to compare and analyze their data.
