Description
Class Experience
In this one-time class, I will read the story How to Catch the an Elf to set up a STEM challenge that requires the learner to design a trap to try and catch an elf. STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering and math. This particular challenge focuses mainly on Engineering but the other areas may be needed to complete the challenge. After reading and discussing the story, I will build their background knowledge by giving learners information about simple machines, discuss...
In this one-time class, students will learn about the engineering design process and practice their design skills.
I love literacy and books and I love to use it to engage students in other content areas. I have 27+ years of integrating content areas to make learning fun and engaging.
Here is a list of possible items that learners can use to create their trap. They are not limited to these items. Please feel free to include other trap building materials. - Large blocks of any kind - Boxes, bags - Toilet paper and/or paper towel rolls - Tissue paper and/or regular paper - Toothpicks and/or wooden skewers - Marshmallows and/or gumdrops or something to hold sticks together together - Tape or something similar - Something to lure the elf- Use your imagination. - Anything else you can think will help you catch one of Santa's elves.
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
