Using Technology to Engage K-6 Students in the New Science Standards June 27, 2:00 – 3:00pm, Room: Champaign In this session, attendees will engage in activities and investigate lessons that demonstrate how the new K-6 Ohio Academic Standards for Science can be taught using the technological design model. A resource CD of hands-on, design-based activities and lessons will be distributed at the session. These strategies and lessons directly correlate to each of the new K-6 science content statements.

Session: Using Technology to Engage K-6 Students in the New
Science Standards
Time: June 27, 2:00 – 3:00pm
Room: Champaign
Presenter: Bob Claymier
Goals of the workshop
Participants will acquire an understanding of the importance of
integrating STEM concepts into the elementary science
curriculum. They will investigate STEM activities that integrate
with the new Ohio Standards for Science. They will be familiar
with the engineering design process and know how to use it as a
problem solving tool with students. They will learn how to create a
STEM lesson.
Integrated STEM activities to be explored
o Paper engineering (linkages)
o Plastic meat tray sail cars
o Solar cookers
Basic STEM concepts
1. Defining STEM, engineering, technology and technological
literacy
2. An integrated STEM approach benefits both learning and
teaching methods
3. The technological design process as a problem solving tool
4. Creating and teaching an integrated lesson is easy and
effective in an elementary curriculum.
