US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Learners will be taught the STEM process which is to ask, plan, create, test, and improve. They will listen to the story My Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires. They will then have the opportunity to create their own "magnificent thing" from their items they have previous established. The learner will be asked to share their item and the purpose for it while explaining their design. Structure of the class: 5 minutes STEM process, 10 minutes read aloud and questions/discussion, 20 minutes to build, 10 minutes to share. During the lesson, the teacher will discuss with the student what they are building and how it is going and provide any insight to the creation phase that can assist the learner. Learners will be able to discuss with each other their ideas and share thoughts to help each other improve. No previous experience is needed.
Learning Goals
Students will improve in using creativity, brainstorming, and mastering the STEM process.
