Project #3 Popsicle Stick Bridge Challenge
Team 1 STEM students will be participating in a engineering design challenge where they will build a bridge made of Popsicle sticks and glue that will withstand the most weight. The project will consist of a planning stage, construction phase, testing phase, and evaluation phase. See the attached document for more details and a copy of the student worksheets.
STEM Field Trip on Wednesday, November 4, 2015
Team 1, 2, & 3 STEM students are invited on a field trip to Woods Hole, MA on 11/4/15. We will be visiting the Zephyr Education Foundation to observe the Interactive Topographic Modeling System, the Woods Hole Science Aquarium, and taking a tour of the WHOI dock and R/V Atlantis. Remember to bring a bag lunch! The bus will leave Lawrence after Period 1 and will return in time for dismissal at 2:45pm.
Welcome to STEM Workshop
STEM Workshop is a class for select students during Period 3 on B, D, and F days. This year we will be working on several different STEM-based projects. We will start off the year learning about earth systems science, currents methods in monitoring earth's systems, and collecting and analyzing data.
Project #1
During the first few weeks, students are introduced to the concept of satellite imagery and develop their skills in analyzing complex images with different data sets and variables. In pairs, students chose one variable (precipitation, chlorophyll concentration, cloud cover, insolation, or sea surface temperature) to research. Students will also observe and analyze annual and seasonal trends of their variable and be able to compare it with others. Lessons are borrowed from the GLOBE program.

Project #2
The objective of Project #2 is for students to learn how to operate an SeaPerch ROV (remote operated vehicle), design a research project using the ROV as their method of data collection, design and follow a procedure to collect temperature and light data using HOBO data loggers, and learn how to analyze and manipulate the data using HOBOware software on a computer. Students will also be expected to work collaboratively within a group and present their results to the class. The SeaPerch ROV was temporarily donated by the Waquoit Bay Summer Science School.
