Learning Methodologies
Divide the room into four groups
Have each volunteer describe their object to
their group
Have one member of the group record everything the
the group says

Engineering Activity Tower
• Work in teams of 4-5 members • Consider all ideas brought forth by team
members• Problem: Construct the Tallest Tower• Criteria: Must be free standing tower and stand
for 5 seconds• Constraints: 15 Minutes to Build, 1 folder, 60 cm
tape• Goal: Build the Tallest Free Standing Tower

Why STEM?
• Science – Science seeks to explain. Scientists write explanations based on evidence to explain the natural world.
• Technology – Technology is a tool that improves and extends our ability in research, measurement, accuracy and collaboration.
• Engineering – Designs solutions to solve problems using the explanations of science, the language of math, and the tool of technology. It is innovative and creative.
• Math – Math is a language used to problem solve and explain numerically how the natural world works.

STEM-Centered Classroom
STEM Way of Learning– Problem-solving– Outreach (enrichment)– Application– Minorities– Real world integration
STEM Centered Classroom – Teacher quality (most impact)– Set up environment to feel safe– Teacher Actions that Matter
