Preparing for Saturday, February 27

We'll keep an eye on weather, closings, etc., and I'll suggest an alternative plan if necessary.  Currently weather predictions look unpleasant through Friday morning, but clearing quickly.

Thanks to all that have shared their STEM Notebook templates.  Keep them coming.  We'll invite some presentations on Saturday and allow time for you to share.

Our primary objectives for Saturday are:

1. Review resources for integrative STEM activities 

I'll share some hands-on interactive STEM ideas for middle and high school students, and we'll talk about scaling up or down for different ages. We'll then categorize a list of resources, including learning activities, classroom and personal technologies, and sources for funding.

Please feel free to bring an activity or resource to share.

2.  Developing engineering design challenge activities and 7E lesson plans

We'll individually and collaboratively develop your ideas for engineering design challenge activities that support the Newport News curriculum.

We'll then work on formatting your ideas within a UbD lesson plan format suitable for observations or publishing your lessons.
