1st Grade

Rotation 9: Animated Move

First graders will use the Frames software to create an animated movie that features a moving character and variety of backgrounds

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can create a path for my crow to travel around the world.
I can add different backgrounds to my movie.
I can add music to my move.

Rotation 8: Ozobots

First graders will use the Ozobot robots and color codes to program their robot to move along a path they created.

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can create a path for Ozobot to move through my theme part.
I can program Ozobot to move in different ways as it follows my path to tell a story.

Rotation 7: Dash robots

Students will learn about and practice programming their Dash robots to do various tasks such as changing light colors, making sounds, and driving. They wil be challenged to program their robot to clear the "snow" off a path by programming their robot with a plow attachment.

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can create a drive, sound, and lights program for Dash.
I can clear the snow off the grid by using a program I created.

Rotation 6: Zookeeper Hats

Rosie Revere, Engineer is a wonderful picture book all about the Engineering Design Process. Students will listen to the story, then use Rosie's zookeeper hat idea to design and create their own speciality hat for a zookeeper.

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can design a create a hat for a zookeeper that has a specific purpose.

Rotation 5: scratch, jr

Scratch, Jr is a wordless app that students can use to learn about basic block -style coding. They can learn concepts such as if/then statements, loops, events, and more.

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can program my Sprite in Scratch, Jr. using block codes.

Rotation 4: The most magnificent thing

After enjoying a read aloud of The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires, students will invent, design, and build their OWN magnificent thing out of recyclables and common household items.

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can design and create an invention using given materials.

Rotation 3: lego Derby

Students will use our LEGO track and special weighted LEGO wheels to build and race cars down a 21 foot track.

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can name a force that helps move my LEGO car down the track.

Rotation 2: digital drawing

In this unit, students will learn about using digital drawing tools through Pixie. They will illustrate a picture to accompany a recording of their voice and get creative designing an imaginary specialty room in a school!

Learning Targets

I can use the engineering design process to solve a problem or challenge.
I can use Pixie to create digital artwork.
I can add text to my digital illustrations.
I can record my voice to narrate my illustrations.

Rotation 1: Code and Go mice &

intro to stem

In this unit, students will learn about the engineering design process as well as some basic programming concepts through the Code and Go Mice.

Learning Targets:

I can solve a problem or challenge using the Engineering Design Process
I can program my mouse to get to the cheese
I can take care of my STEM supplies
