Hands on STEM in the Classroom

Each month students can expand their science knowledge through fun hands on activities. Students will practice the scientific method, technical writing, research methods, and develop good team member skills. Learning through doing is a way for students to use inquiry to discover the answers to problems and challenges, by taking the time to stop, evaluate their results, look at what is working or not working and determine if changes are necessary. 

This fall Kindergarten will be working with colors, counting and magnets. First grade will discover chemical reactions, assembly lines and math shapes. Second grade will work in teams to complete engineering challenges. In third grade students will work on the properties of water and how to chart results. The fourth grade will use engineering and fairy tales to solve puzzles. The scientific method and new discoveries will be the focus of fifth grade. Sixth, seventh and eighth grade will explore the DNA of superheroes. the origins of daylight savings time and even the zombie apocalypse.
