Do you have any resources that you'd like to share? #CLBSTEM - https://t.co/rB3tp3q4my This is more geared towards science but a lot of things can be done in math too. Always remember: it's not always about the content, sometimes it's about the smiles :-D
I think that it's always worth the time to do the fun, relevant thing compared to plowing through the curriculum, and this class has given me a ton of ideas on things students can create in class.
What piece of tech (high or low) are you most excited about? #CLBSTEM - I'm very excited to get back into the classroom and have students create spinners, dice, etc. The time you "lose" having students create their own stuff you "gain" in engagement and understanding. I thin1/2
What have you learned in #CLBSTEM - I've learned that, no matter the subject, it's crucial to give students something to create. For math, there's a ton of options and opportunities for creation, and this helps student engagement and behavior
#CLBSTEAM & #makerEd - Is this true on carpet compared to hard floor? What if they had a tennis ball instead of a marble? Students will troubleshoot their inventions and eventually come up with a final product to test for the students. I did a similar thing in Physics.
#CLBSTEAM & #makerEd - Students would then test their prototypes and analyze the results. Students would then go back and conduct research. Students understand that a slope of 0 degrees and 90 degrees won't work, so is 45 degrees the best?
#CLBSTEAM & #makerEd - I had a great idea doing this with angles and marbles, where students brainstorm ideas to see what slope/degrees would make a marble roll farthest, then create their own product with a variety of materials
