Brownson STEAM Lab

Our PreK- 6 lab focuses on 21st skills through the lens of STEAM. All 950 students come to the lab to work on engineering challenges and learn to be innovators.

Love doing environmental work and earning awards with my incredible conservation minded students!

Love doing my best Miss Frizzle when teaching 2nd grade about monarchs. @SvahaUSA #monarchs

[Providence Panthers @ProvidenceES]

From searching for tiny eggs and larva to finally tagging the butterflies and watching them begin their migration, our second graders are learning so much about monarchs, their habitat and life cycle. @FCPSScience @FairfaxSchools @FCPSR5 @fcpsnews @fcpsGet2Green

Sixth graders learned a bit about @NASAPersevere before designing and building their own landers. The ones that protected astronauts safely in our classroom and lobby drops moved onto roof testing! @ProvidenceES @FCPSSTEAM @FairfaxSchools @FCPSR5 @NASAEducation

First graders followed the engineering design process to create model inclusive playgrounds, where all kids could have fun. @FCPSSTEAM @ProvidenceES @FairfaxSchools @FCPSR5 @fcpsnews @FcpsPOGPOL #inclusion #creativity #collaboration

Looking for a good book/activity to teach coding and algorithms to first graders. They’ve already heard “How to Code as Sand Castle” as Kinders. What has worked well for you?

[Brownson STEAM Lab @BrownsonsClass]

Imaginations ran wild as our third graders invented a creature and then applied their science knowledge to create a habitat model that would meet all of its needs.@FCPSScience @FCPSSTEAM @ProvidenceES @FairfaxSchools @FCPSR5 #creativethinkers #habitat

Our youngest innovators have been building their collaboration attributes while completing mini STEAM challenges. So exciting to see their skills grow. @FcpsPOGPOL @FCPSR5 @FairfaxSchools @FCPSSTEAM #innovation #collaboration

We have been busy engineering and innovating at the start of the school year. @ProvidenceES @FairfaxSchools @FCPSSTEAM @FCPSR5 #innovators #engineeringiselementary

Proud of our Eco-Panthers and the conservation work they’ve done this school year. They focused on decreasing waste, protecting our watershed, and creating great outdoor learning spaces. @ProvidenceES @fcpsGet2Green @FairfaxSchools @EcoSchoolsUSA #conservation

@HaycockES__PE @mcleanhigh @PrincipalBeaty @DanaChenFCPS @FCPSR2 @fcpsnews @fezuluaga I see some familiar faces! Congrats class of 22!

We planned to test our kindergarten’s sailboats but our lesson was disrupted in the most adorable way. @ProvidenceES @FairfaxSchools @fcpsnews @FCPSR5 @FCPSSTEAM #makewayforducklings

[Brownson STEAM Lab @BrownsonsClass]

I have been watching these eggs and wasn’t optimistic about their chances. As I went out to candle the eggs this morning I was surprised to see their contents swimming! One of my favorite parts of this job.

[Providence Panthers @ProvidenceES]

Welcome this year’s raft of ducklings to our courtyard. The hen has been sitting on her nest for over a month and we were worried that the cold temps and her young age would prevent a successful hatching. Excited to watch them grow! @fcpsnews @fairfaxschools @fcpsregion5

[Brownson STEAM Lab @BrownsonsClass]

First graders are devising different ways to keep their veggies safe from hungry bunnies. #munchamunchamuncha @FairfaxSchools @fcpsnews @FCPSSTEAM @candacemfleming @FCPSR5 @WhitisHeather #innovation #creativity

[Brownson STEAM Lab @BrownsonsClass]

Loved working with these amazing kiddos as they imagined, built, and coded a solution. They were awesome at the competition this weekend! @WhitisHeather

[Providence Panthers @ProvidenceES]

Congrats to both of our Lego League teams for their awards at a recent competition. We are so proud of your team work and innovation! @fcpsnews @FairfaxSchools @FCPSR5 @firstlegoleague #futureengineers

[Brownson STEAM Lab @BrownsonsClass]

How would you protect the little pig from the Big Bad Wolf? Create a house of course! Our kindergartener architects have engineered some super strong structures. @FCPSSTEAM @ProvidenceES @WhitisHeather #Engineering #STEMeducation @FairfaxSchools #Kindergarten #Innovation

[Providence Panthers @ProvidenceES]

This month we collected 28 pounds of plastic for the #trexrecyclingchallenge. Keep bringing in that plastic and keeping it out of landfills Panthers! We are up to 183 pounds so far this year. @fcpsGet2Green @FairfaxSchools @FCPSR5 @fcpsnews @EcoSchoolsUSA #Recycle2Win

[Brownson STEAM Lab @BrownsonsClass]

Our fifth graders are using math to find the perfect length bungee cord to give these model humans a safe but thrilling experience. The excitement during testing is palpable! @WhitisHeather @ProvidenceES @FairfaxSchools #math #adventuresinteaching #STEM #experimentaldesign

[Brownson STEAM Lab @BrownsonsClass]

Thrilled to launch our LEGO League for the 2021-2022 season. Together our team will devise a solution for streamlining how goods make it to homes and businesses. Many thanks to @amazon for the grant! @ProvidenceES @firstlegoleague @LEGO_Education @FairfaxSchools
