How much force do you need to putt the golf ball through the 5th grade engineered putt putt golf course? STEAM education is a highly engaging way to learn and experience the Ohio Standards! @KetteringLearns@stem_do
3rd grade structural engineers learned what it means to be a global citizen by engineering a structure to transport goods across. They read about regions around the world where transporting goods is challenging. Thank you Dayton Brick Shop for supporting STEAM! @KetteringLearns
Kettering students love coding TI Rovers. Emmett, a 4th grade student told me while he waited to get a Rover for his 3rd Rover lesson, "Rovers are the most exciting challenge we do in school because it is fun and different!" Engaged Learner! @KetteringLearns@TICalculators
5th grade Drone Pilots navigate drones through a flight path engineered by fellow classmates. Students learned about the history of drones (Kettering Bug), physics of a drone, how to calculate the speed of a drone, and develop their PoG skills! @KetteringLearns@KCSPortraitGrad
2nd grade biologist studying the behavior of worms and the impact they have on their school garden. Gathering data, comprehending informational text, developing Portrait of a Graduate skills, and career awareness contribute to the STEAM State of Mind! @KetteringLearns@stem_do
Can you see through a cloud? What can light go through? In the story Starry Night, these second grade students engineered telescopes to look at the night sky, just like the characters in the story. @KetteringLearns@stem_do@KetteringSchls
Kettering is enjoying a beautiful Winter Wonderland, which has sparked an opportunity for 1st-grade students to make snow globes and learn concepts such as density, seasons, motion, perspectives, phonics, detailed reading, and being thoughtful communicators. @KetteringLearns
Engineering LEGO monsters (Color Monster) while identifying different emotions has made a big impact on these 1st grade students! Integrating SEL, LA, Engineering, and communication is a highly engaging way to learn! @KetteringLearns@KetteringSchls
Proud moment! A @KetteringSchls 2nd grade teacher presented at a university using the STEAM State of Mind philosophy! The teacher adapted an elementary STEAM challenge to help students understand critical thinking skills and how to be an thoughtful communicator. @KetteringLearns
Can a natural force impact our environment? Real-world application using a stream table. Highly engaged students using their critical thinking skills! @KetteringSchls@KetteringLearns@OSLN
These first grade students are learning SEL skills on how to be a good friend. This game integrates math, engineering, language arts, and SEL standards. These students are thoughtful communicators and highly engage learners! @KetteringLearns@KetteringSchls
