Engineering Design Process- Creating A Safe Passage For Sea Turtles, Chassity Miller

STEM Teacher Leaders in Action

In this lesson, students are working collaboratively to create a prototype for a safe passage to cross the road safely.

Students share their discovery with materials of how they created their prototype to create the safe passage for turtles. In this prototype, many have discovered how it can help other animals

Prior to doing this lesson, students did a PBL lesson on the effects of litter on the endangerment of sea turtles in our area. After doing the virtual field trip at the Georgia Sea Turtle Hospital, students will create a safe passage for sea turtles using the engineering design …

Calculate The Pattern, Danielle Felicien

STEM Teacher Leaders in Action

Third grade math students demonstrated their mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills by engaging in conversations about patterns and by actively exploring, analyzing, and making connections within patterns.

High-leverage math routines and pattern exploration engaged students in mathematical thinking and fostered their ability to recognize, describe, extend, and make predictions based on patterns.
