Students were on track to read the Three Billy Goats Gruff. After we completed a few different activities with the story, we started a Bridge project. The students and I made a circle map of different tools/materials they may at home to use for this project. They gathered these materials up and the next day we spent time working on all of our bridges together. It was a very fun project. Check out the results!]]> 2020-10-10 21:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/818928282 lsilva33 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/818932251 2020-10-10 21:22:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/818932251 lsilva33 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/818932672 2020-10-10 21:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/818932672 mquezada2 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820038481 Based on constructivist theory, the 5E Inquiry-Based Instructional Model serves as guide during the design of STEM instruction. ]]> 2020-10-11 21:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820038481 mquezada2 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820081079 Students engaged in our first discussion of scientists by drawing a picture of a scientist.

While we were already reading a story on Wild Weather to complete a natural phenomenon lesson, we lengthened the lesson to be done over a period of a week. After reading the book, students created a structure that could withstand a tornado! Before we started, students designed their shelter by sketching out how they would use their materials and were given opportunities to change their design. Once they were happy with their design, we built our shelters and tested them out to see if they could stay standing! On our last day, we reflected on our shelters and students wrote about what they learned, talked about their shelter, and whether it was sturdy enough to withstand their "tornado." ]]> 2020-10-12 04:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820559328 mmachado14 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820562357 2020-10-12 04:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820562357 erodriguez117 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820605020 STREAM flyer]]> 2020-10-12 04:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/820605020 mmachado14 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/822487280 2020-10-12 18:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/822487280 pmcgulpin https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/823605689 2020-10-13 04:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/823605689 pmcgulpin https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/823612381 2020-10-13 04:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/823612381 erodriguez117 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/823689888 This activity was used as an introduction activity to science. First I had my students at my placement listen to a read aloud of the story, "What is Science?" by Rebecca Kai Dotlich and then students were led in adding to a circle map titled, "Science". Each student had an opportunity to share what they thought science was. Students shared their best ideas, and as a closing to our activity students drew a picture of what they thought a scientist looked like. Below is documentation of their initial ideas of what they believed a scientist looked like. ]]> 2020-10-13 05:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/823689888 pmcgulpin https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/826508767 For this activity students had been working on a unit which was all about natural disasters. Besides this activity, students also created their own power point on a selected natural disaster. We never learned about tornados before this. For this activity we read the last story in our unit which was about tornados and the students were given the engineering activity to build a structure in which they believed could withstand a simulated tornado (a strong gust of wind). Students used a variety of methods to test their shelters which included using books to try to simulate a strong wind and also fans.]]> 2020-10-13 20:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/826508767 davila22 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/830965222 2020-10-15 03:34:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/830965222 davila22 https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/830965519 2020-10-15 03:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lsilva33/mg10l977356lyfgm/wish/830965519
