• Shout out to Ms. Lo Intro to Health students did an inquiry lab that also included several STEM learner profile traits from thinking critically, collaborating, utilizing technology, and more. Students created their own lab protocol to test how skin plays a role in maintaining homeostasis. Her student's Learning Target was: To investigate how UV radiation affects the skin and understand the skin's role in protecting the body and maintaining homeostasis. Students Success Criteria was - Students can create a lab experiment to explain the effects of UV radiation on the skin. Students accurately conduct the experiment and collect data on the effectiveness of different SPF levels. Students analyze and interpret their data to draw conclusions about the skin's role in protecting against UV damage. See the students developing and executing their own labs.

    Mr. C. Kellys Small Group Class- We had a PD on engaging students and incorporating STEM and Mr. Kelly immediately reserved the Innovation lab and took his class to use the VR app Object Viewer. This software helps students learn science effectively with true-to-life digital teaching aids they can touch, hold and interact with, and teachers can even upload their own 3D objects to share!

     

    Check out Ms. Stirgus Chemistry Class- Students employed the 4Cs of STEM to do a project on the Evolution of the Atomic Theory. The goal was to learn about some of the highlights in the history of atomic theory to gain an appreciation of how we know what we know about atoms today. She showcased her student exemplars outside of her classroom for everyone to see.
