4. Pop Fly Challenge… Create a pop-up device that will send a ping-pong ball to a teammate “catcher”. “Catcher” must be 2 meters, horizontally, from Pop-Up Device. Use at least ONE of each type of material. Must be foot activated! You have JUST 15 minutes! Create and use a data collection tool in your STEM notebooks.

5. Getting the Whole Picture: The Core of STEM Instruction

6. Performance Expectations (PEs) 4-PS3-4: Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another *. MS-PS3-5: Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. HS-PS3-3: Design, build and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another *.

7. STEM* Teaching: Characteristics/Guiding Principles Focus on Integration Establish Relevance Emphasize 21 st Century Skills Challenge Your Students Mix It Up Be Intentional *not about adding more subjects to your school curriculum (STEM is not a curriculum)

9. School STEM Implementation Self-Assessment Key Components: Leadership Teaching & Learning Community Awareness and Partnerships

10. School STEM Implementation Self-Assessment Leadership – …teachers have access to professional development … – …student learning in STEM is monitored and improved – …supports for innovative STEM-based programs – …focus on access for all students Teaching & Learning Community Awareness and Partnerships

11. Leadership Teaching & Learning – Schools provide engaging STEM programs – Adequate instruction time in maths & science – Courses & materials are rigorous and standards-based – High quality, engaging, authentic instruction – Standards-based assessment and grading – Culturally relevant activities Community Awareness and Partnerships School STEM Implementation Self-Assessment

12. Leadership Teaching & Learning Community Awareness and Partnerships – Community members are able to identify attributes and outcomes of STEM education – Parents & students understand that STEM education is essential – Partnerships outside the school School STEM Implementation Self-Assessment
