Criterion 21:

Students in this artifact are grade 4 students in my S.T.E.A.M class

As 21st century learners, students are encouraged to engage in creative, collaborative, critical thinking, and communicative activities. In doing this in a STEAM class students focus on the 4Cs through a math and science perspective. The 4th grade design challenge provided opportunities for students to use a design process in developing their spacecraft.

In this artifact, students were able to plan and execute different phases of their spacecraft. With each stage, they were able to further understand the design process.
