Goal

Fourth grade students will innovate ideas and develop critical thinking skills to present different solutions and problem-solve. They will determine which solution works best in real-world situations by innovating and creating. The hands-on activities make STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) come alive.  

 

What will be done with my students

Students will have hands-on activities where they are engaged in creative projects display their critical thinking about principles in engineering, mathematics, physics, technology, and art. They will innovate ideas and develop skills to present different solutions. For example, some of the items requested (LEGOS, magnetic tiles, straw connectors, etc.) allow children to explore building challenges and create solutions to various real-world scenarios. Students can draft plans and then decide which plan to pursue and then design them using the tools available. After creating their solution, students can share their projects with others. 

 

Benefits to my students

By engaging in these real-world activities, in addition to exploring their own creativity, students will be able to develop problem-solving procedures and evaluation methods, as well as presentation and discussion skills.
