They will pick these items up with their Ipad and academic bundles the week of 8/10 and they will wait to get further details from their teachers before beginning this STEM project virtually. This project will be referred to by the teacher during remote STEM lessons regularly.1st Grade Tops and BottomsTitle: “Growing in STEM: Studying plants from Top to Bottom”Students will be provided a plant clipping and a clear plastic cup. When at home students can place the plant in the plastic cup or in a glass cup from home. Students will monitor the growth of the plant from the roots to the top of the plant. Teachers will refer to these plants during remote learning STEM lessons each week.2nd GradeLady Bugs: Natural Pest Control Title: “Bug Busters: Ladybugs at work”Students will be provided a dill plant OR a cucumber plant and paper clips. Students will monitor and measure plant growth with the non- standard tool of paper clips. Teachers will refer to these plants during remote STEM lessons each week.3rd Grade***Student visits to tend to the Compost device at PGE ***CompostingTitle: “Compost: Turning Trash into Treasure”Students will be given soil in a cup from previous composting efforts at PGE. Students will use this model as they discuss composting efforts and ideal results with their teacher in the weekly STEM segments in Science class. Students will also be able to sign up on a Google doc for designated times and dates to tend to the compost device at PGE. Students will stir the compost and take the temperature of the compost. 4th Grade*Student visits to tend to the PH level at the pond at PGE*Pond CareTitle: “PHenomenal Pond Care: Healthy PH Levels and more”Students will be given PH Strips, a small cup of soil, bean seeds, and a ruler. Different students will be given a task from their teacher to use various liquids to determine the best one for optimal plant growth based on the various PH levels (tap water, bottled water, rain water, perhaps even lemon water). This will be the source of teacher-led discussion in the weekly STEM segments in Science. Additionally, students will be able to sign up on a Google doc to come up to PGE at designated times to check the PH levels of the pond and to add the needed chemicals to balance these levels as needed. 5th Grade*Student visits to tend to the onsite Erosion project at PGE*ErosionTitle: “Operation End Erosion”Students will be given small plastic bags of sand and a small tray. They will also be given one of the following erosion defense materials: mesh or plastic wrap and toothpicks or toilet tissue roll pieces or a bag of small pebbles. Over time, students will work with their Science teachers to build a model to prevent erosion. Accordingly, they will compare which material(s) worked the best and why. Real world applications to actual erosion defense systems on beaches and on land will be shared and discussed as well. Students will build the models and test against water erosion as they emulate the effects of weather conditions on various landforms over time. These discussions will take place during the weekly STEM segments during Science time. ................
