Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
STEM engages students and equips them with critical thinking, problem solving, creative and collaborative skills. The focus on hands-on learning with real-world applications helps develop a variety of skill sets.  Students will learn about the planet as global warming, we will do some hands on project. Students will have to come up with ides of how to solve real life problems like flooding, icing, weather etc. 

We will go over different topic each week: 
 Week 1: Water as energy, groundwater - how do we get ground water? Formation of ground water, the Hydrologic cycle  
 Week 2: Floods and water hazards, what causes flooding, how can we prevent flooding
 Week 3:Ocean,  Hurricanes- how they form
 Week 4: Non-renewable energy and climate change - Fossil Fuels, how we mine them, and use them, the affects on people, Earth  and climate 
Week 5:  Re-newable energy- what other energy we can use rather than Fossil fuel to produce electricity?  
Week 6:  we will to a sum up discussion and project on climate change and how to help
