STEM is a truly integrated approach to these studies. STEM engages students and increases motivation with project-based learning, encourages students to solve authentic problems, and asks them to work with others to build real solutions. Students and teachers can work together as learners to create solutions to human problems. Goals for This Week Engage in a STEM challenge related to Prosthetic Limbs Gain a deeper understanding of the engineering design process and key components of a STEM Design Challenge Learn math (ratios and proportions) science (physics and biology) and technology skills that support a solution to the STEM challenge Build confidence in implementing STEM Design Challenges and integrating math and science Theory of Action If teachers and students engage in activities that promote math and science and engineering practices and integrated math and science activities focused on core math and science content, then student and teacher STEM literacy will increase. STEM Literacy The ability to identify and apply concepts, content and practices from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to understand and solve challenges or answer problems that cannot be resolved by any one disciplinary approach alone. - Hays Blaine Lantz, Jr., Ed.D., 2009 This is not a Silly Icebreaker, it is an awesome way to get to know one another and to start thinking creatively! To get started, we will get into three groups of 10 to 12. Hi, my name is ____________, I teach ___________ at ____________ school. This is not a _________, it is a _____________. Randy Marshmallow Tower See PPT in Marshmallow Tower Folder An Exploration of Body Ratios Think About Ratios With your partner, measure the circumference of your head, (at eyebrow level), the length of your shin, the length of your forearm, your foot, and your height. Record your information on the chart at the front of the room. Place a sticky dot on the poster representing your (shin length, height). Just wondering Think About Ratios Thinking About Ratios There are 24 cars parked in a lot that has room for 40 cars. Another lot has 56 cars parked in a lot that has room for 80 cars. Which lot is more full? DESMOS - an online graphing site Ratio Debrief What Standards/ Learning Targets could be addressed with the Body Ratio Activity? What skills and/or units of study does this support? Kristine Norms Our Focus This Week Please meet Aimee Mullins. What did you notice about Aimee? What did you notice about her legs? Your task will be to design a prosthetic limb for a client that has specific requirement for the limb. You will be asked to present the results of your work to the large group on Friday. Revisit the steps for a Design Challenge This Is My Brother Kris Defining the Challenge Thinking Tonight What do you and members of your family need your legs or arms to do? What directions do your joints bend? Where does the strength in your limbs come from? Be ready to share out tomorrow. Wednesday Welcome Back! Please find your new seat. Think back to yesterday, what were some key ideas we learned together. Where have we been?

Test your machine for the group. Test & Evaluate Affirmations Sincere Focus on math, science, design process Questions For clarification To push thinking for re-design Why didnt you... Setting the Norm - Every voice should be heard. Meet original challenge Least number of Knex pieces Shortest machine Lightest machine Accuracy rate Redesign - Add a criteria Use KNex to create a free standing machine that will move a Ping Pong ball at least 5 feet. Criteria & Constraints: Your own criteria Materials: provided KNex Moveable: free standing and be able to move machine to the testing zone Time: 15 minutes Knex Ping Pong Challenge Debrief Into the Classroom How did success for this design challenge differ from yesterdays marshmallow challenge? What skills do mini-design challenges build to support students in a complex challenge? Please... Gallery Walk Disassemble your machine Return and sort your Knex back into the containers. Take a break until 10 am. Prosthetic Limb Design Challenge- Getting Started Take two minutes to look at the Design Challenge workbook. The Challenge: Design a prosthetic limb with your team of biomedical engineers. First Steps Who is your client? What do they do? Time to Research What do I know? What do I need to know? What questions, posted yesterday, can you answer now? Where Are We? Star Wars Prosthetic Refresh... WIK? WIK: Our objective (problem) is design a prosthetic that accomplishes a task. Redefine the problem NTK What Drives our Research NTK What Drives our Research NTK What Drives our Research Whats the Common Theme of Our NTK? The Athlete Machine NTK Drives Our Research! Group Task: Research the basic function of simple machines. Create a simple, yet functional, poster that discusses: +Fundamental principles of your simple machine +Identify how said simple machine replicates the function of the human body and/or prosthetic Group has 8.13 min to research and create the short, yet functional poster The Human Body/Prosthetic Simple Machine Gallery Walk Make a claim, with a rationale, for which simple machine you believe is most common within the human body. Ok So now WIK? WIK: Our objective (problem) is design a prosthetic that accomplishes a task. The human body is a system or network of simple machines that helps accomplish a task. NTK: How can we incorporate the function of a simple machine into the design of our prosthetic that needs to accomplish a task? Biomechanics- Arm as a Lever Take 4 Minutes to get to know the lab. WIK:NTK Biomechanics- Arm as a Lever What you will need: +1 computer/group (minimum) +Model arm and load +Vernier Labquest +Force Sensor Official data collection: Table on Google Sheets Team Reflection on Google Sheets Reflection Scientific thinking and application of Learning: How will this experience (simple machines- Lever Lab) impact your designing of your prosthetic to accomplish its task?
