Description
Class Experience
We will be working on basic engineering concepts over the next 12 weeks. There are many things that you can learn while playing and experimenting during this class. Students work at there own ability and skill level. Depending on speed students work in class we usually get through one design, 1st test, and sometimes a redesign. In order to get the most of this class students will need to work outside of class and record their results. I recommend students add pictures and/or video to the...
Students will form hypothesis. Students will use the scientific method. Students will record in writing, charts, time, weight, distance, trails, and relay results to others. Students will record results in photos and videos. Students will share results of testing with others.
I have worked in education for over 15 years, the last 9 as a homeschool parent. I have taught at a local homeschool co-op for over 7 years (in person and online) I started my schooling with a B.B.A. from Northwood University. After several years in the corporate climate I decided to go back to school to get a teaching degree. I attended Eastern Michigan University and finished my classes and testing required for the teaching degree. The semester I was to start student teaching one of my children became seriously ill. Once they were recovered I was starting to homeschool my children and never went back to finish the program. I have continued to attend teacher professional developments including: EdCamp - EMU NerdCamp - Parma NaNoWriMo - Online, and local events Others offered at EMU and MSU 4-H STEAM Programs with MSU STEM programs at U of M and EMU
This class requires time outside of the class each week. To create the design, create project, test, redesign, and retest.
Materials students need: 4 wheels or something that can act as wheels Coins Marbles Balloons Straws Popsicle Sticks Masking Tape Paper Pencil Rubber Bands Ping Pong Ball Aluminum Foil Cardboard Coloring (crayons/pencils/markers) Students Choice Notebook Way to take pictures and video of projects.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
No class grade but students will get informal assessments and constructive critiques weekly.
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
There is no account needed nor will students access You Tube. We will be watching You Tube videos and clips shared from the teachers computer. The channels used are educational kids channels and Lego.
