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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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

10. What is Engineering Design?

11. 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!

12. Testing Flooring Materials

13. Planning the House

14. Building the House

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

16. 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?
