Goal

Our schools prides itself on challenging our students to be creative thinking and solve higher order thinking questions throughout their educational endeavors. Providing students with opportunities to complete STEM activities gives them opportunities to work together to complete higher order thinking tasks. STEM Education is not only beneficial in school settings, it gives a skill set that governs the way we think and behave. STEM also provides students with opportunities with understanding of how to solve real world problems that they face.  

 

What will be done with my students

If this grant is awarded our students would use these activities in our classroom as supplemental activities along with our Science Curriculum to integrate technology, math, and engineering into our Science lessons. We will also use these hands on activities as part of our FSA Bootcamp activities to help the students prepare for FSA. These STEM activities would foster ingenuity, build resilience, encourage experimentation and team work along with problem solving.  

 

Benefits to my students

Currently there are fifty-one students and three teachers that would benefit from these STEM Kits. These STEM kits will remain with the teachers from year to year, therefore many more students will be impacted by them throughout the years. By the end of the year, 80% of students that use the STEM Kits in our classroom will show an increase on their end of the year Science District Assessment from their beginning of the year Science District Assessment.
