1. MAKING THE CASE: Part Three STEM in the workplace… – the STEM Technological Design Process – Realize the importance of recording in your Laboratory Record Book (LRB) – Meet a materials engineer with a powerful story – Experience a Design Challenge, firsthand – Collect and analyze data…

2. Examples of Laboratory Record Books (LRBs) Science Notebooks Kept by Scientists and Engineers 2

3. WORK THAT Laboratory Record Book (LRB)!

5. Meet an Engineer with a Powerful Story ELIZABETH STEPHENS…

6. Creating New Teams Number off 1 – 12 Pack and stack and move to new table Introduce yourself to your new teammates

7. COLLABORATIVE INQUIRY USES NORMS! Keep everyone engaged in the research & design Consider each idea as viable Share materials Identify jobs/role for each member of the team Expect Cognitive Dissonance!

9. 9 What we used to think…

10. 10 What we used to think…What we now know….

11. THE STEM DESIGN PROCESS

12. 12

13. You will be testing… 20 minutes per station: STATION ONE (Flicker): Blade Number STATION TWO (Nuthatch): Blade Shape STATION THREE (Dipper): Blade Length STATION FOUR (Tadpole): Blade Pitch

14. Tips for Success Explore and discover but… – Ensure that the dowel is fully inserted into the hub – Blades should all face the same direction – Pitch should be maintained across all blades – Direction matters – you should record positive values NOT negative values – Observe, record, be curious if something doesn’t make sense – If time, experiment beyond the station procedures – If you see a trend, follow up on it… – Safety first (use the safety glasses)!

15. Start cleaning up at 3 p.m. and be back in the room at 3:15 p.m.

16. Summarizing the Data… Thus far… – What do you know now that you didn’t know before? – How will you share your findings tomorrow?

17. TOMORROW’S STEM DESIGN CHALLENGE  Dip into any other research/resources  Sketch possible designs  Build, Test, Evaluate, Redesign  Team Presentations  Final Analysis

18. Reflecting… In your STEM notebook: – Think over the course of the day: Why Care about STEM Education? By Jeff Estes Action Research by Trevor Greene and Scott Seaman Engineering Design Challenge by Elizabeth Stephens & Peggy Willcuts – Write three things that have impacted you from each of these presentations…

19. Golden Nugget Using the #AWSPSTEM Tweet out your table’s golden nugget from this last conversation Dinner is at 6 p.m.

20. STEM DESIGN CHALLENGE cont…  8:45 – 9:55 a.m.:  Time to build, test, evaluate, and redesign  9:55 – 10:25 a.m.  Prepare Presentation of Current Thinking  10:25 – 10:35 BIO-BREAK  10:35 – 12:00 noon PRESENTATIONS  Show your design  Make a claim about the “best” design  Cite evidence data  End with reasoning based on evidence  Demonstration of effectiveness

21. STEM DESIGN CHALLENGE cont…  Discuss, draw, think about your design then build! Approval needed before getting materials!  Teams send 1 Materials Manager to the table to get supplies  Remember our Collaborative Inquiry Norms! Everyone participates!

22. STEM DESIGN CHALLENGE cont…  YOUR PRESENTATION:  6 minutes TOTAL per team:  Show your design  Make a claim about the “best” design  Cite evidence data  End with reasoning based on evidence  Demonstrate its capability on the Windmill up front

23. STEM DESIGN CHALLENGE cont… SIT WITH YOUR MONDAY’S TEAM FINAL DISCUSSION:  Elizabeth’s summary of findings  Introducing Georgia Boatman, Regional Science Coordinator, ESD 123
