Garden - STEM / ELA Challenge Exploration
I developed the Thematic Challenge Explorations as a way to increase student ENGAGEMENT. Research highlights that students are more likely to be engaged when they are given an AUTHENTIC PURPOSE, REAL-WORLD applications and HANDS-ON experiences. The Thematic Challenge Explorations integrate Common Core Reading, Writing and Math standards. I wanted to create opportunities for teachers to provide memorable experiences that increase student ENGAGEMENT, while also connecting to the standards they

Building a Water Slide Project
Inspired by a STEM project, Building a Water Slide allows students to think creatively while using various skills and strategies. I added equations to help students solve for how much of each material they could use. Once their solved for the amount of material, they had to measure and cut the correct dimensions. I used it with a gifted and talented 3rd grade class, but it can be differentiated to different levels. Be sure to have a camera close, students loved this one!
