Creating Communication Devices in STEM
In Mrs. Nevarez's 2nd grade classroom, students are excitedly engaged in a STEM challenge to design their own communication devices. Using a rubric to guide their work, they are learning to collaborate effectively and maximize their points. As they brainstorm ideas, they explore important vocabulary words like sound, vibration, and energy to understand how these concepts relate to their designs. In one moment captured, Mrs. Nevarez listens attentively as a student explains why he believes his design will work, showcasing his enthusiasm and understanding of the scientific principles behind his project. This hands-on learning experience not only fosters teamwork but also deepens their comprehension of how communication devices function in our world.
