Kindergarten has been using the AMSTI Balls and Ramps investigation for several years, but this year Matson's class added a key component. In addition to spotlighting the fastest ball, the smallest ball, the largest ball, etc..., they had discussions. WHY was the fastest ball fastest? HOW could one be blown forward with air through a straw when none of the others would move? WHAT would each student do differently if he/she could redesign? #STEM
BB has been an Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI) school for several years now, so we've wired houses in fourth grade using their electricity investigation. But this year, through a PLTW/STEM lens, we completed the houses and then had students prepare a presentation of their architecture. PK-3 students visited the Tour of Homes. Fourth grade teachers Harris, Thomas, and Zuck plan to add another layer or two to next year's project!
BB students K-4 took a schoolwide STEM field trip to Sci Quest in Huntsville. Presentations and hands-on experiences ruled the day! Fantastic!
