ESSENTIAL LEARNING
Learning is naturally integrated.
“When you are out walking, nature does not confront you for three quarters of an hour only with flowers and in the next only with animals.”
Lionel Elvin (1977)
![Page 3: INTEGRATING SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND TECHNOLOGY INTO ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM UNITS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d995503460f94a83795/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ESSENTIAL LEARNING
Learning is naturally integrated.
Interdisciplinary: A knowledge view and curriculum approach that consciously applies methodology and language from more than one discipline to examine a central theme, issue, problem, topic, or experience.
Heidi Hayes Jacobs (1989)
![Page 4: INTEGRATING SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND TECHNOLOGY INTO ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM UNITS](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649d995503460f94a83795/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
FOUR FIRST STEPS WHEN CONSIDERING A STEM INTERDISCIPLINARY UNIT
1. Start with a Science or Technology theme you are familiar with or is timely with many resources available.
2. Identify the academic goals and learning standards to be emphasized and their natural scope and sequences.
3. Determine appropriate assessment applications nestled within the design of the unit.
4. Start simple and allow the unit to expand upon its successes from one year to the next.

Robert Goddard• Graduated high school at 21• Struggled financially as a college
teacher to fund his experiments• It took 3 yrs for his groundbreaking
article on rocketry to be published by the Smithsonian
• Publically ridiculed by the New York Times
• March 16, 1926 launched the 1st successful liquid fueled rocket
• Granted 214 patients• 131 awarded following his death

LET’S BUILD A ROCKET!
Each table has the materials to create a paper rocket.
You may share scissors, tape and rulers, but each person should have their own PVC tube, 2 sheets of paper and 2 index cards
