Stem to the Core TETC 2012
This document discusses incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) into the Common Core curriculum. It defines the components of STEM and explains how STEM relates to and can be integrated with the Common Core standards. It provides examples of cross-curricular STEM lessons and activities that incorporate subjects like art, reading, writing, and more. It also discusses the use of technology, resources for a STEM lab, and how STEM education prepares students for the future.

- 2. STEM to theCORE • Why STEM? • STEM Components • STEM and the CORE • STEM Curriculum & Sample Lessons • STEM Resources • Preparation for Tomorrow • Technology Integration • STEM and the TEAM Rubric • FAQ
- 3. Why STEM? STEM educationis much like the process of a child learning to ride a bike. All the key components of balance, skills, and materials must come together in order to send them on their way, much like all the key components of a child’s education must come together to give them a strong foundation of learning.

- 5. The Components ofSTEM Every bicycle hits the road with a rider who is much like a student, ready to learn and explore the unknown. Add in a basket and a Reading and writing are the water bottle in the forms iron support that holds of the the arts, literature, together the frame. history, music, and physical education to learn awareness of the human form, and together you Engineering is the spokes on have one fantastic recipe the bicycle that support the for a plan of learning. wheels as they roll forward with the learning. Technology is a means to petal forward to expand upon the learning in other The core subjects of math and science areas and to help each rest as the wheels that make the student reach a potential learning happen. that is beyond their imaginations.
- 6. STEM and theCORE How does STEM relate to the Common Core Standards? • Reading, Writing, and Vocabulary at Forefront • Cross-Curricular Lesson Content • Complex Texts and Tasks • Informational Texts Tied to Content Areas • Collaboration • Project and Inquiry Based Learning and Assessments

- 13. QR Codes Effective Qualities: • Intriguing • Multiple forms of Suggested Lessons: technology integration • Scavenger Hunt • Many creative possibilities • Research projects • Tied into real-life • Cross Reference (Standards- connections genres, math properties, or types of rocks) • SIM – Strategic Instruction Model Pitfalls: • Deviation from standards • Equipment • Time management
- 14. QR Codes Creating theCodes: • iPad Apps (Scan, EasyQR, Qrafter, QR Code Wiz) • Websites (goqr.me, Google QR Code Generators) Easy Way to Print Codes: • iPad: Send to teacher’s email, then copy and paste to word document (allows you to resize, edit, etc.) • Computer: Copy and paste code, edit as needed, then print. Scanning QR Codes: • Requires a device with a QR scanner (iPad, iPods, Smartphones, QR Scanner)
- 15. STEM Lab • HotDot Kit: pens • Magnet Kit • Blank Note Cards • Data Folder (Science and Math • Geo Boards • Popsicle Sticks • Tape Standards based • Calculators • Felt • Glue materials with data analysis sheet) • Legos • Balloons • Weights • Hot Dot Kit: Word • Gears and Gizmos • Yarn problems and math Engineering Kit • Rulers facts • Geometric Magnet • Batteries • Snap Circuits Shapes • Foam Tubing • Power Science Kits • Fraction Balance • Household Items • ZOME builders • Probability Dice • Multiplication Keys
- 16. Are We PreparingThem f T or omorrow?
- 17. Technology Integration Ipads Computers Interactive Board Technology Integration with STEM Curriculum and Common Core
- 18. Technology Integration Distance Learning Reasons and Benefits: • Collaborate with other teachers • Learn from other students no matter the distance • Experience other cultures • Connect with other resources across the world (President, Senator, Veterinarian, ORNL, or museums). • No cost way to collaborate and experience something otherwise to expense to participate in.
- 19. Technology Integration Distance Learning Activities • Novel Studies • Research • Collaboration with other teachers or students • Homebound or SPED students • Remediation/Enrichment with other grades or mentors • Special Guest Speaker/Presentation/Vi rtual Field Trip
- 20. Technology Integration Virtual Field Trips • Where can you go with virtual STEM field trips? • Stemresources.com • Euclid's Fifth | A virtual field trip about different types of Geometry. • Exploring The Ocean | A virtual field trip about beach lifecycles. • Jacques Charles: Full of Hot Air | A virtual field trip about Charles' Law and proportions. • Weather | A virtual field trip about weather patterns. • Scholastic: The First Thanksgiving • Collection of trips can be found at http://www.internet4classrooms.com/vft.htm • Royal Tyrrell Museum
- 21. Technology Integration Ipad Resources Best Practices: Recommended Apps: • Replay Note • Centers • • Discovery Smithsonian Myth Busters • Remediation/ • • Comic Touch intervention • • PBS Logic Solving • Mind Mapping • Special needs • Annotate PDF Clean Energy Hawaii students • • Life Cycles • Finger Physics • Enrichment • Cash Cow • AppShopper
