Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) are here to stay. Regardless of the subject I or many others teach STEM must be implemented in our class. The first step I plan to do is teach the students the 9 step process through visual aids and memory pegs so that they remember. The 9 step process are the following:
1) Define the problem.
2) Brainstorm
3) Research
4) Develop Ideas
5) Choose the Best Ideas.
6) Model the Prototype
7) Test and Evaluate
8) Improve Design
9) Communicate Results.
Next, the students are going to apply these steps when we read the novel I-Robot after ther AZ Merit tests. With another teacher we were going to co-teach in designing and building robots. Students are going to work in groups of four. Before I make this a reality I want to do more research on STEM and embrace this.
