Students will learn the scientific method use it as they conduct experiments.
Students will also participate in different STEM activities.
The goal of STEM is to encourage students to learn through inquiry based activities where students are challenged to solve a problem. Ask- What is the problem? Imagine- What are some solutions? Brainstorm ideas. Plan- Plan how you are going to solve the problem. Create-Follow your plan, test it out! Improve-What worked? What didn't work? What could work better? Modify your design to make it better!
