Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
This class consists of twelve separate engineering design challenges that encourage learners to think critically to solve simple problems. Along the way they will learn about different branches of engineering and careers. All of the challenges will use common household or easy to obtain materials, many of which are recyclable. The class is inquiry based and hands on, focusing on collaboration and will help learners to understand that failure is part of the learning process, as many of their...
Students will explore the Engineering Design Process and learn to think critically to solve a variety of engineering challenges.
I have been sharing my love of science and math and STEM with elementary students in public schools for over 28 years. I served most of that time in the classroom and then moved into Instructional Coaching to help other teachers improve their practice in those areas. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. Classes with Ms. Susan are fun, engaging, and hands on, with an inquiry approach in everything we do. My goal is to latch on to the natural curiosity children have about the world around them and use that to explore science, engineering, and math concepts in a rich and meaningful way. I believe in teaching in ways that children learn, using strategies and activities that foster a love of learning. As a retired teacher, I am not bound by district or state policies and I am able to use fun, creative lessons to instill the academics that children need to master, not the ones they need to pass state assessments. One of my favorite quotes from Carl Sagan sums up my approach to science education - "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge." In Ms. Susan's Super Science and Math classes, students will be challenged to think!
