STEM Activity for 2nd Grade: Self Identity Box

Image
Our 2nd graders built a foldable box that contained objects that represented who they were. This project incorporated social studies, engineering, science and mathematics.  In design class, Becca Goess and I helped students build and design their foldable boxes. We first had them learn about measurements to gain an understanding of the size and dimensions of their box.  Want to see more of what we do in our STEM/EdTech class? • Photos: http://instagrm.com/davidleeedtech • Videos: https://www.youtube.com/davidleeedtechorg • Website: http://www.davidleeedtech.org • Twitter: http://twitter.com/davidleeedtech • Blog: http://davidleeedtech.wordpress.com Intro Music by Ryan Little “Falling Down”: https://soundcloud.com/iamryanlittle Background Music by Ryan Little “Slow Down”: https://soundcloud.com/iamryanlittle Becca Goess, STEM Design Specialist: https://www.instagram.com/missrgoess/ Denise Brohm, 2nd Grade Teacher: https://twitter.co...

How to Create a Professional Logo

Image
This video was created for my 3rd grade class. After drawing their logo, they needed to take a picture of it and upload it to their Google Drive. Finally they used Google Drawing to create their logos.  Want to see what we do in my STEM/EdTech class?

Forest Kindergarten: Building A-Frame Shelters

Image
In Forest Kindergarten, the classroom is the forest, and students get immersed in nature, developing a deeper connection to the natural world through exploration, inquiry-based learning, and authentic play. This form of education allows students to connect with the natural world, especially in a time when students rarely get to experience the outdoors, while learning about natural science, engineering design, and social science skills and concepts. In my design class, Becca Goess and I wanted to see if students would be able to create a shelter in the forest. Since the students were going to be introduced to the unit a few weeks later, we decided to practice building A-Frame shelters in our class. First with popsicle sticks, and then with wooden rods. Students learned how to use rope and zip ties to connect rods together. We then took the class to the forest to start exploring and building our A-Frame shelter!
