Session Organization What is STEM? Science and Engineering Practices Engineering Design Rigor in CCSS-M

What is STEM? Science Technology Engineering Math Science Technology Understand and answer questions about the natural world Technology Human-made systems and processes Engineering Systematic practice of design to solve human problems Math Study of measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets

Why does STEM matter? Essential elements of the job market Many students graduating high school uninterested and/or unprepared Research shows interest is lost in elementary grades Significant gaps by gender and ethnicity

Science & Engineering Practices Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) Developing and using models Planning and carrying out investigations Analyzing and interpreting data Using mathematics and computational thinking Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) Engaging in argument from evidence Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

What is Engineering Design?

Designing Passive Solar Houses What flooring materials will you use? How many windows do you want? On which side(s) of the house? How much heat must the house absorb in a given time period? How much heat is acceptable to lose in a given time period? You must stay within budget!

Testing Flooring Materials

Planning the House

Building the House

Where’s the Rigor? CCSS-M defines rigor as the balance of three things Conceptual Understanding Procedural Fluency Application How does STEM support this?

Coming Next Month Understanding Multiplication and Division What do the operations mean? How do they relate to each other? How can we help students build conceptual understanding? Tuesday 3 December 2013 @ 4pm
