Lower+School+STEM+page

=Current STEM Activities= Existing science units which would lend themselves to STEM: K--weather & seasons 1- insects; birds 2- habitats and animal classifications 3- water 4- earth; astronomy

Extended School Program (ESP):
 * Lego robotics
 * Table top: "physics"
 * Tech related after school: digital photography; publisher
 * fourth grade techies

=Suggested Activities=
 * Many of the existing science units already are integrated with other areas in the lower school.
 * Currently the soc. studies team is looking at the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Many of those units would dovetail well with existing science.
 * Need to look at the science & turn them into "authentic problems"
 * Will need to correlate math skills and science

=March 5 Actions= 1. Brainstorm: based on what we've learned so far, what would an ideal STEM program at SP LS look like? 2. Plan visits to other schools to occur between now and April 23.
