STEM WEEK!
Hi Juniors! I’m so excited to learn with you this week! We are going to take a break from our normal class to have a STEM week!!!!! I think you’re going to have a whole lot of fun. And if you enjoy it, we might have more weeks like this. -Sister Garrett
Click here to learn more about STEM. Learning in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math is so important because they can help us solve the world’s problems. Heavenly Father gave us this beautiful Earth, and He expects us to use our gifts to make it a better place.
Print this worksheet and complete it. Please bring it to class to share your findings.
JUMP INTO LEARNING
Did you know that STEM is a part of so many fascinating subjects? I want you to choose one that you find really interesting. Create a fun and engaging presentation to teach your class what you learn. I’d like each presentation to include at least one of the following: something we can touch (like a model you build), something we can see (like an art project you create), something we can eat (a food/recipe that relates to your subject), or something we can watch you do (like acting, performing, using a creation you’ve made etc). I’d like your presentations to be 3-5 minutes in length. Practice in front of a mirror at least twice so you can become an expert at presenting. Really push yourself to be creative and engaging.
Here are some topic ideas, but you are not limited to these. Make sure to choose something that really interests you. I believe that God has given each of us specific interests that are directly tied to our purposes in life, which is why it is so important to follow what ignites you!
| Mae Jemison | The first African-American woman astronaut to travel into space aboard the Endeavor Space Shuttle |
| Hedy Lamarr | Invented a secret radio guidance system for torpedoes that could not be detected or jammed by enemies during World War II |

| Mark Rober Glitter Bombs | An engineer who graduated from BYU uses his STEM skills to get payback on thieves. |
