Abstract for the conference program
This session will focus on helping teachers use phenomena to design problem-based learning opportunities that integrate STEM to increase rigor and relevance in all science content areas. Participants will participate in engaging student-focused activities that allow them to use criticial thinking skills while solving real-world socially-relevant problems as they work in collaborative groups. These activities are standards-based and encourage collaboration across different content areas. Presenters will guide participants through the process of planning a STEM-based unit with their colleagues and community sponsors that increase the depth of learning by breaking down the walls between classrooms. Participants will take home ready-to-go standards-based lessons and challenges that empower students to think outside the box to help them understand "why they need to know this".
