🌟 Exciting news! We were awarded three Scale-Up Grants by the North Central Iowa STEM Region Advisory Board for Boone elementary students! 🚀 Here's what's coming:
➡️ Exploring and Connecting to Iowa’s Agriculture: The science units and STEM curriculum will be refined to create integrated learning experiences for students that are connected to careers. The lessons will help us align science, math, literacy, and engineering standards with the concepts displayed on the tours of farms and agriculture-related businesses.
➡️Investigating Everyday Phenomena: Four modules of hands-on science instruction will be implemented with our first grade students. The materials from this award will help us pilot this approach and expand it to other elementary grades.
➡️ All About Balance: Pre-K through 2nd grade students will receive integrated STEM lessons that align with science, technology, math, and literacy standards around the concept of balance.
We are eager to offer these improved educational opportunities to our students!
