What do you want to take back to your classroom from KCS STEM Summit?
…ALL THE ABOVE!!
Our K-5 STEM teachers had some great takeaways that they’re ready to implement this school year. I’m so excited to see our future engineers & scientists in action!!

After collecting data from their field trip, students will develop habit management plans to create an ideal habitat for the Bobwhite Quail. Will they remove invasive species through prescribed burns or disk an area to promote growth of native species? @KCSScience

Does this look like an ideal habitat for the Bobwhite Quail? By acting as Wildlife Biologists, students will evaluate areas of the park to determine what needs done to improve the habitat to increase their populations. @KCSScience

Our @KnoxSchools K-5 STEM Ts kicked off #NationalEngineersWeek at DLD. They participated as learners in LEGO Spike lessons that challenged them to solve a real world problem by applying physical science ideas to build a prototype, create a code, & test! @KCSScience @KnoxSTEM

The Bijou Theater, built before speakers & microphones, was designed for optimal sound. During the field trip, students will identify design features that create the best experience for the audience, such as the curved shape of the ceiling & balcony. @bijoutheatre @KCSScience
