Throughout the year, our specials team collaborates on several integrated units, where students learn about a common theme or topic in each of their specials classes. Our 3rd and 4th graders have just wrapped up a study of Native Americans, which featured learning about folk tales in library class, creating bird prints in art class, learning traditional songs in music class, and learning skills related to orienteering in PE.
In STEM class, students familiarized themselves with the story of one Native American constellation and then applied learning about electricity to create a paper circuit. In our paper circuits, students used a coin cell battery to power a circuit created using LEDs and copper tape. Creating and troubleshooting our circuits was a challenge and became a great opportunity for practicing perseverance and looking closely to investigate errors and malfunctions.
Here a few photos showcasing some of our final products.
