Eagle Creek ~ STEAM ~ Kindergarten to 6th Grade

Science, Tech, Engineering, Art & Math
Integrated skills that stay with children for life

Electricity
Grade 4: Electric Answer Board 
These children constructed a "question and answer board," wiring the back so a buzzer sounded or a light went off when correct answers were selected.
mBots
Grade 6: mBot Robots 
Each pair constructed an mBot from a kit. They then used a coding website to code the robot to perform tasks such as rolling across a table or picking up an object.
Engineering
Grade 5: Battery Operated Cars 
Each group designed a battery-operated car (including the body, the axle, and the wheels) out of recycled materials. The final race was the best part!
Electric circuit
Grade 2: Light-up Cards
The second grade students made light-up Christmas cards. In the process, they learned the basics of electricity and how circuits function.
Steam
Grade 4: Making 3-D Maps
The class made a contoured, 3-D map of an imaginary national park. We learned where waters, how professionals measure elevation, and how to build to scale.
Animation
Grade 1: Stop-motion Animation
Using animation, each 
small group retold the story they wrote by molding clay figures and having them act. We earned about sequencing and movie-creation.
Makey makey
Grade 5: Making a Piano
​These students used a MakeyMakey board as an interface between the computer and some play dough to make a working piano.
Coding
Kindergarten: Coding
​As a way to start learning coding, these young children created mazes, then directed the mouse through them using the arrows on the controller.
3D printing
Grade 6: 3-D Printing
A sixth-grade student used 3-D software called Tinkercad to design a board game based on the book A Long Walk to Water. The pieces represent the characters.  
steam
Grade 3: Testing Paper
The children folded paper into columns & experimented to see which one would hold more weight (rectangular prism, triangular, cylindrical or prism). 
steam
Grade 4: Interview
We participated in a live interview with a National Geographic paleoanthropologist named Ella Al-Shamahi from London.
coding
Grades 2 to 6: Coding
We work on real coding from 2nd to 6th grades. These fourth graders played a relay game in which they debugged their teammates' mistakes. 

Team Events​

Shape Divider - Style mountains
These fifth grade teams built products that met parameters, tested their designs, improved their prototypes, and presented their finished products.
At first, these children were playing and experimenting. Later, they worked toward specific goals such as "build something that can hold a cup full of water."
Grades 4 and 5 built catapults that could throw little candy pumpkins. Later, their families came to school to build catapults that could throw big pumpkins. 
Parents love STEAM, too!
